General Information

On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Restoration Druid, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5).

If you were looking for WotLK Classic content, please refer to our WotLK Classic Restoration Druid gems and enchants.

1.

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.

Slot Enchantment
Necklace Magnificent Jeweler's Setting Icon Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck)
Cloak Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs Icon Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs
Chest Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance Icon Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance
Bracers Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Leech Icon Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Leech
Legs Sunset Spellthread Icon Sunset Spellthread
Feet Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March
Rings Enchant Ring - Radiant Haste Icon Enchant Ring - Radiant Haste
Rings Magnificent Jeweler's Setting Icon Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck)
Weapon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve Icon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve
Weapon Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury Icon Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury

Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury Icon Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury is a better choice for higher throughput content, while Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve Icon Enchant Weapon - Authority of Fiery Resolve will perform better when damage is lower.

We recommend using Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March (enchant from Dragonflight) because it gives the same Speed as The War Within version (Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March). The Stamina enchant gives a very pitiful amount of it. Movement speed will be more useful.

To better understand why these specific enchants and gems are advised, use our Stats page.

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 Tempered Potions. If you are not using Tempered Potions, 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.
