WotLK Classic Restoration Druid Pre-Raid Gear
On this page, you will find the best pre-raid gear for Restoration Druid in WotLK Classic.
Restoration Druid Pre-Raid Best in Slot List
This is the pre-raid gear we recommend for Restoration Druids. That does not mean you are required to have this gear to start raiding, but instead that this is a list of non-raid items that are strong choices, and thus that you should use to make your gear stronger while not raiding.
The gear choices in the tables below follow our stat guide priority.

Pre-Raid Best in Slot
Some of the listed gear can be expensive to get, or time-consuming to obtain in the case of dungeon gear, so do not be afraid of going straight into raiding at 80, as entry raids are extremely easy, even when done with questing gear!
In Phase 4, Titan Rune Dungeons bosses drop Emblem of Triumph and Defiler's Scourgestone, which can be traded for Sidereal Essence on a one-to-one basis. With these currencies you will be able to get some incredibly powerful gear relatively quickly, such as the 245 item level version of Solace of the Fallen and 252 item level Show of Faith, or as many Trophy of the Crusade for 245 item level tier 9 pieces as you wish.
Wrath Classic Restoration Druid Tier 9 Set
Restoration Druid Tier 9, Runetotem's or Malfurion's Garb, is obtained by buying its individual pieces with Emblem of Triumph (and a Trophy of the Crusade for item level 245 pieces).
Its set bonuses are:
- 2 pieces — increases the critical strike chance of Nourish by 5%. This is alright in small group content but for the most part is just a minor healing increase;
- 4 pieces — allows for critical strikes from Rejuvenation. This is a strong bonus, especially if your gear has some critical strike on it, but it does not make critical strike a strong stat.
As the individual gear pieces are already strong for their stats alone, these bonuses make them the best pre-raid options.
