The best Embellishment for Holy Paladin will come down to whether or not you raid and if you will be able to obtain the full set that goes with Voidglass Sovereign's Blade. If you will be unable to do this quickly, you will gain the most power by crafting a 2H weapon with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension followed by Writhing Armor Banding. If you do this, you will still replace it long term once you can gain access to the full set. From there, your best embellishments will instead be Dawnthread Lining for general use, and Binding of Binding for Mythic+ only.

Generally, Haste/Mastery is a good stat combination to go with for pure healing, otherwise you can go Haste/Versatility if you plan on playing an equal amount of Mythic+ and Raiding.

1. The largest power increase would be crafting a max item level weapon and using Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. That being said, the weapon will be replaced long-term once you gain access to the BiS weapon from raid. If you do not raid or do not think you will get the weapon soon, then you should craft this first.
2. With your second craft, you can use it on Writhing Armor Banding if you did craft a weapon. In general, you want to craft these on slots that are unlikely to be replaced and don't have extremely competitive options. For example, crafting any embellishment on a tier slot can tend to be a waste in case you need to use that slot for tier. Similarly, if you get a super rare neck or ring, it would also be a waste to have an embellishment on the sale slot. Generally, you want to chase item level with something like Boots/Belts/Bracers > Rings/Necks > Cloaks.
3. If you did not craft a weapon or are at the point you are replacing it, you will want to craft items with Dawnthread Lining following the same logic described previously.
4. If you only play Mythic+, you can opt to craft items with Binding of Binding.

The War Within Season 3 Turbo Boost offers a way to acquire specific items from Manaforge Omega as well as Mythic+ Trinkets through Puzzling Cartel Chips. You can use these chips to buy Heroic level items but in order to get Myth level items you need to get all +12 keys timed for the Mythic+ trinkets or kill the boss on Mythic for the raid items at least once. For more information about this system and how it works as well as the location of the vendors, check out our dedicated Puzzling Cartel Chip section!

Choosing what items to spend Puzzling Cartel Chips on will largely depend on what items you already have. Someone with a Mythic Astral Antenna will obviously not need to buy it from the vendor and thus can spend Cartel Chips on other items. Below we will list some of the key items, in order of importance.

• Interloper's Plated Sabatons - This will be one of your highest priority items as the power increase is more significant than any other potential upgrade besides completing the Void trinket+weapon set bonus. That being said, these boots drop quite frequently and off an easier boss in the raid. It may be worth skipping this item entirely if you see yourself farming this boss for a while and instead using a cartel coin on either Voidglass Sovereign's Blade or Diamantine Voidcore to complete the set.
• Voidglass Sovereign's Blade - Extremely powerful set bonus that combines with Diamantine Voidcore. You will want to purchase this only if acquiring both set pieces is possible.
• Diamantine Voidcore - BiS trinket as long as you have Voidglass Sovereign's Blade. You will want to purchase this only if acquiring both set pieces is possible.
• Nexus-King's Command - If you already have access to the Void set bonus and acquiring boots isn't a concern, then you may want to target this trinket due it being so strong. However, only healers utilize this trinket which may make it easier to acquire. Especially if your co-healers plan on purchasing it.
• Astral Antenna - Strong trinket that is acquirable early into the raid. This is a good choice if you do not see yourself progressing Mythic far enough to unlock any of the later items.
• Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj - Out of the Mythic+ items, this will be your best purchase and should be sought after if you do not envision yourself killing many if any Mythic raid bosses.
• So'leah's Secret Technique - This trinket falls behind some of the raid choices and is inferior to Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj, but it can be a nice choice for players who do not plan on stepping into Mythic raiding content at all.
• If you are solely focused on Mythic and have managed to kill early bosses but don't see yourself progressing farther, Loom'ithar's Living Silk can be a good choice due to the heavy utility it provides.
• Band of the Shattered Soul - If you have been able to acquire nearly every rare item to this point and have no idea what else to spend your chip on, this ring provides solid stats and a nice extra bonus. Otherwise, you can aim for a Mythic+ focused trinekt such as Loom'ithar's Living Silk or an offspec item!
• If you do not see yourself progressing into Mythic content and already having access to strong Mythic+/Raid trinkets, you may want to target Interloper's Plated Sabatons on Hero track due to the strong bonus it will provide you.
• Loom'ithar's Living Silk - Solid choice for Mythic+ players who have no desire to ever step into any form of raid content. The shield it provides can be extremely beneficial in keeping players alive during tough moments.

The Tier Set is comprised of 5 items, all carrying the of the Lucent Battalion moniker. Unique bonuses are unlocked when wearing 2 or 4 pieces from the set and change depending on your hero talent choice:

• Paladin Herald of the Sun 11.2 Class Set 2pc — Causes you to gain Solar Wrath after Avenging Wrath ends. This extends the duration of Sun's Avatar for a few seconds.
• Paladin Herald of the Sun 11.2 Class Set 4pc — Increases the effectiveness of Holy Power Spenders and grants Dawnlights depending on talent choices.
• Paladin Lightsmith 11.2 Class Set 2pc — Increases the healing of Hammer and Anvil while also causing it to be triggered by Crusader Strike at lower efficiency.
• Paladin Lightsmith 11.2 Class Set 4pc — Causes Hammer and Anvil to also grant a stack of Masterwork.

Regardless of hero talent choice, these bonuses are extremely strong and add a large amount of HPS. You will want to equip these as soon as possible. More information about how these can impact your rotation can be found on the dedicated rotation page.

Added in Patch 11.2, the Reshii Wraps will take up your cloak slot and be used in every form of content. With this cloak, you are able to fully customize the stats and will want to choose stats that best suit the form of content you plan on doing. For raid, Haste/Mastery will be strong and for Mythic+ or general use you will want to go with Haste/Vers. You can also use Interloper's Plated Sabatons in your boot slot to increase the power of your cloak; you should aim to do this as soon as possible.

Introduced in Patch 11.1.7, the new D.I.S.C. belt adds a variety of bonuses depending on your selected bonus. You can acquire this belt from regular delves to serve as a quick item level increase for new characters and returning players. That being said, in Patch 11.2, the D.I.S.C belt will be replaced by any higher item level belt that you are able to acquire. While using it, you will tend to go for Spark Burst due to the Haste on it being extra valuable on Holy Paladin.
