Farming JP for BOA gear

[Khatovar]

Definitely possible. I would say that it is easiest if you pick up tailoring on your tank (extra cloth loot from level 68+) and have a caster team.

I have tailoring on a slave and set Jamba's Advanced Loot to pass cloth to said slave so I can have JC and BS on my tank instead of the fairly unimpressive Embroidery bonus. This way the slave loots all visible cloth and extra cloth in one fell swoop.

As for the Vendor Greens -


Claretta sells 372 gear lvl 85
Silkweaver Rui sells 372 gear lvl 85 - Alliance only
Rivett sells 372 gear lvl 85 - Horde only
Singegruff sells 372 and lvl 85
Jambeezi sells 372 gear lvl 85

Alin sells 393 gear lvl 87
The Metal Paw sells 393 gear lvl 87

Len sells 408 gear lvl 88
Supplier Xin sells 408 gear level 88

Prices range from about 30g for rings/neck to 140g for weapons.


Keep in mind that if you are in a decently leveled guild, there are several BOAs you can buy from the guild vendor.

Guild Level 10 allows the purchase of cloaks, Guild Level 20 gives you the ability to buy helms, all professions to 600 allows you to get legs.

There are also 3 different battle standards that provide bonuses to XP, Rep and Honor from kills while you are in range:

Banner of Cooperation for 525 in all professions = +5%
Standard of Unity for completing all Cata Heroics in a guild group = +10%
Battle Standard of Coordination for doing 15000 Dailies = +15%

They do not stack, but they have a longer duration than cooldown. Put them on Round Robin and you can always be under it's effects.

If you're in someone else's guild, all you need is the guild rep and cash to buy the items, you don't actually have to have done the achievements yourself.

I had a look and it's about 50 gold for all pieces except weapons, they're 150 gold

There's a quest in MoP which rewards ilvl 404 weapons. Is it possible to cap my xp and still do the quest?

Thank you for the detailed response Khatovar. I have most of the Guild BoA onlty missing the legs, my guilds needs a cook at 600 and I hate cooking!

Too bad there's none of those venders for Cata! would make life a while lot easier

[Khatovar]

Cooking is absurdly easy to level since MoP launched. Almost everything you need can by purchased at the vendor in Halfhill Market so basically all you do is stand there and cook for a bit and you're done.
