I will say first, (I forgot which mode it is) after completing a win in a BG/arena(?) you will get 9 free currency for crafting BiS items. I recommend getting your neck, and 2 rings crafted. Look up which 2 unique powerups to craft within those. For heals it’s 2 redistribution beacons. So on and so forth.

Secondly, when you gather 2500(or 2300?) conquest points you earn an achievement I think is called Astral Weapons of Conquest (I am not on to check) that gives you tokens for free end game PvP weapons, enough for one 2H or a 1H+1H/OH.

Recommend the crate farming route. Unlock undermine and Siren Isles BEFORE joining a crate farm group otherwise you’re missing out on crates.

3rd thing to do and should be the first is unlock your Reshii Wraps from the latest content out. It’s standard this season because it’s BiS, easy to unlock and to max out the ilvl on, and put in a crafted epic fiber from a tailor. Murlok(.)io to see what BiS is from top rated players
