Catching Up on Legendary

For those of you thinking about catching up on an alt or just catching up... some good news about the legendary quest line. There are some pretty major catch-up mechanics built into the Highmaul and BRF portions of the quest line.

First, the drop rate in LFR is super inflated now and the the LFR player pool is (at least temporarily) boosted by players grinding valor. So just clear LFR once a week on the relevant part of the quest. Bonus, you'll have all of that valor once you finish.

Second, get a ship yard! The shipyard gets up and running a LOT faster than followers. There are shipyard missions that award you the Highmaul or BrF stuff at pretty good rates, and they aren't that hard, and they pop every day or two. Pretty easy.

Third, there is a quest giver in Tanaan who wants to give you a TON of highmaul stuff for 15k apexis crystals. Seriously, he gives something like 25. Then there is a BrF guy who gives you 75 elemental stones for 20k. So, you'll be grinding out Tanaan quests for apexis and picking up the baleful gear while you are at it.

All in all, I just did the first two stages on my mage that I boosted during blizzcon - 17 days ago. The HFC part will take a bit longer, 33 tomes of chaos at about 8 tomes per week. cross your fingers and hope it's 4 weeks.
