Stealthy's Gear Guide for Elemental Shamans Lvl 68-80 (Horde)

[Stealthy]

Hi All,

This guide includes all quest rewards, craftables and instance drops up to level 80 non-heroic instances. It's intended to allow you to cherry pick the best gear upgrades while you are levelling, which should in turn make questing / instances easier and give you a better chance at surviving gank attempts if you play on a PvP server.

Layout: I have sorted the gear by slot first, then the level it becomes available for use.

Some of the quest line information may be inaccurate or incomplete - I am just going off what's available in Wowhead & Thottbot, as well as what I can remember from my own experiences - if you find any mistakes, please post them below so I can update the list.

Anyway, on to the guide!
