I have been doing Broken Shores WQ's and getting the caches for gear, but RNG has been very unkind to me. I seem to only get dauntless drops from them. Is getting higher ilvl drops from caches a rare thing? It is frustrating.
Yeah I should have specified that I suggested WQ in the Broken Shores just because they have (I think) higher rewards in terms of AP and they also give you Legion War Supplies. With the supplies, you can get caches that will give you nethershards. I guess my point is that you may not want to do WQ to get gear with a ilvl higher than ~850. M+0 and relinquished tokens (the ones you get from nethershards) will take you to the next level at 870-880. If you can't do M+0 with your team, maybe try at first to do the dungeons with LFG just to gear up a bit.
