wow Item Level 197 Gear from Covenant and Honor, Prices and a Handy Upgrade Location

[Starym 3,800]

 

It's a huge week for Covenants as the main campaigns end and we get mounts, LFR weapon tokens and more, but we also get some serious item level armor upgrades for both anima and honor, so we're taking a look at the costs and the best location where to do all your upgrading!

After you finish up Chapter 9 of your Covenant campaign you will have access to the Covenant armor upgrades via anima, while for the PvP 197 items you'll only need Renown 22 AND to complete the short quest to unlock the gear (players have been having issues by not noticing the quest).

The final Covenant armor upgrade costs 300 anima to get it to rank 7 (with the earlier upgrades going from 50 and increasing by 50 for each rank):

Meanwhile the honor item upgrades vary quite a bit depending on the item, but luckily 010dream compiled a handy chart for all of them!

Source.

And finally, possibly the most useful tip we have here is the most handy upgrade vendor for both anima and honor, Mr. Aggressor Zo'dash! You can find him in Oribos, at the top end of the Enclave section, among the other PvP vendors, but he can upgrade the Covenant armor for anima as well:

Nice but my problem is not finding the upgrade NPC.
My problem is finding sufficient DAMN ANIMA! 😡
Guess it's really an anima drought. 🙄

Please elaborate on this. I thought we had to wait till LFR wing 4 to get these?

You get a mount and a weapon token from this weeks covenant quests if you are caught up. The weapon is chosen from lfr vendor via token.

So there are two LFR tokens out there, one you get from finishing your campaign, and one from LFR.  The one from LFR is a higher ilvl than the one from the campaign, of which the campaign weapon token is lower ilvl than the pvp weapons.

Awesome, didn't realise that.

It's welcomed, but it takes SOOOO much anima. You're better off spending the anima on sanctum upgrades still. Could see this being a useful catch-up system in the future though.
