So.. i got my team to 120 and been doing world quest for awhile now.. all 5 of my main team are around 410, with a few benthic gear @ 405, 385 etc.. Avg gear score is around 41x

Any suggestions how to get better gear?

Sorry, forgot to add on that i am running normal dungeon very comfortably now with this gear, but struggle a little with heroic. Any other place to get better gear so that heroic is not a struggle?

the new content..visions and assaults. Also..you will get 415-420(including weapons and trinkets) gear from normal WQs..so keep looking out for upgrades there. And keep an eye out for emissary quests. They give up to 445 gear/weapons as your item level goes up. I have 445 weapons on my main team from those and my azertite armour is all 450 now ( you get 445 but it upgrades to 450 when you fill in all the traits)

On top of that also keep an eye on the dungeon quests that appear on your map. While they give Mythic level rewards, they can be completed on any difficult. And of course do the new world boss each week. It's easy enough to find LFG groups for it.

Remember to swap around rings/trinkets - if you have like a ilv.. 400 and 415 ring - to unlock the other slot

The world quest rewards increase as your Ilvl increases...

This :p
Install the "world quest list" addon, then look thru if there are any upgrades out there, that might be worth the effort.
(if you zoom out to the entire planet map.. you get a list of every daily etc avilable for the day etc). Then add a filter if you want etc

The World Boss weekly for 8.3 (Uldum/Vale) drops 445 gear regardless of gear score. It is RNG though so you may just get gold, but I've been upgrading the gang with this option too. Last week seemed very ring heavy drops, this week more are getting gold than not.

* May have corruption on it though, so if you don't like it, and haven't done the cloak quest chain to either offset corruption or cleanse it, it may not be useful.

Just use a addon like the "world quest list". It can put up a popup if you want, to find a group very quickly, whenever you are at a area with a world quest, world boss etc. Alternatively, do a manual search to find a group via the ingame Looking for group function. Usually groups are up under the custom groups or the raid group bfa.
Most people do these world bosses the same day as the weekly reset, or during the early weekend.. so if you are late.. you might not be able to find any groups, sadly so. You could try create your own group though and try your luck.

Regarding new questlines... you get these automatically presented to you when you log in / visitting the major city. Sometimes you need to be up to par on the "main story" questchain though, in order to get the newest quests. Sometimes, a quick log out and back in, can spawn the new quest lines too.
But ive never had any issues with this myself.
Your current stage on the "main questline" is stated on the very top, inside the questlog /questlog next to the world map.

actually.... if you have the "world quest list" addon installed... you can right click on a world quest on the world map, and it will automatically create a event, which you can search to find others for that spesific quest. This is certainly a timesaver. /you learn something new every day..

(before a pop up appeared once you manually entered the area the quest was located).
