Foreword

In general, you should be using Haste enchants for pretty much all content. For the purpose of gaining more stats, we recommend using mixed stats gems since they provide slightly more than single stat ones.

Best Gems and Enchants for Restoration Druids

You will be able to use one Blasphemite gem. Its main purpose is to provide Intellect, the secondary effects are not that important. The three possible options are Culminating (Critical effect), Elusive (Movement Speed), and Insightful (maximum Mana). Critical effect only provides half the benefit for heals; maximum Mana is not useful because we have no Mana scaling at all. Therefore, we recommend using Elusive Blasphemite Icon Elusive Blasphemite.

For the other gems, you should try to maximise the movement speed effect while not sacrificing too much. Because Crit is not good for either Mythic+ or raiding, you should only use 3 different types of gems. Masterful Emerald Icon Masterful Emerald, Quick Onyx Icon Quick Onyx and Quick Sapphire Icon Quick Sapphire are the ones to pick. After you have these 3 and Blasphemite, you can continue using Masterful Emerald Icon Masterful Emerald.

Consumables for Restoration Druids

3.1.

Best Flasks and Potions for Restoration

Flask of Tempered Swiftness Icon Flask of Tempered Swiftness should be used for raids along with Algari Mana Potion Icon Algari Mana Potion as your potion of choice.

Flask of Alchemical Chaos Icon Flask of Alchemical Chaos — is slightly more random than Flask of Tempered Swiftness Icon Flask of Tempered Swiftness, but it is a net positive in stats and also leads to stronger Tempered Potion Icon Tempered Potion uses, so it is only recommended, when you are using these potions. If you are not using them, then you should use Flask of Tempered Swiftness Icon Flask of Tempered Swiftness.

For Healing Potions, you will mainly use Algari Healing Potion Icon Algari Healing Potion. Also, do not forget Healthstone Icon Healthstones for emergency healing.

3.2.

Best Food for Restoration

You should eat large feast (Feast of the Midnight Masquerade Icon Feast of the Midnight Masquerade) if it is available. Otherwise, use a personal food Beledar's Bounty Icon Beledar's Bounty.

3.3.

Other Consumables for Restoration

Make sure you apply Algari Mana Oil Icon Algari Mana Oil to your weapon.

Crystallized Augment Rune Icon Crystallized Augment Rune is the only other consumable worth mentioning. Use it whenever possible for extra stats.
