Embellishments
Embellishments are unique effects associated with crafted items, either as predefined elements in a recipe or added with an optional embellishment reagent, creating embellished gear. These enhancements diversify and amplify characters' capabilities.
Given that only a maximum of two embellished items can be equipped at a time, here are the best embellishments for Balance Druids in RBG:
Enchantments
Enchantments provide minor yet valuable enhancements to various items, including Back, Chest, Wrist, Legs, Rings, Feet, Main Hand, and Off Hand.
Most enchantments are crafted via the Enchanting profession. However, Legs enhancements are crafted by Leatherworkers.
Enchantments are usually available at the auction house, making them accessible for upgrades. Here is a list of the top enchantments for Balance Druids in RBG, essential for optimizing combat effectiveness:
Gems
Gems are crafted stones from the Jewelcrafting profession that provide stat bonuses to improve gear and fine-tune character stats. These gems can be socketed into various item slots, including Head, Neck, Wrist, Waist, and Rings.
While the availability of sockets on these items is generally random when they drop, Head, Wrist, and Waist items can have a single socket added using the Nerubian Gemweaver , which costs 6 Algari Token of Merit obtained from the Great Vault.
Additionally, for non-PvP Neck and Rings items, sockets can be added with the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting . This item, crafted by Jewelcrafters, can increase the number of sockets to 2 for Neck and Rings slots.
Available through both the auction house and the crafting order system, the following are the top gem choices for Balance Druids in RBG:
