What started out as a great expansion has quickly devolved into a mess of problems. But Battle for Azeroth’s issues aren’t terminal, and Blizzard has found a way to fix one of the expansion’s major problems in an upcoming patch. > Azerite gear — the expansions’ main form of post-leveling progression — has been filled with lackluster and uninteresting perks. That’s changing with patch 8.1, Tides of Vengeance, with the devs adding abilities with greater impact. More importantly, there will now be a new vendor specifically for Azerite gear, which should make acquiring the pieces you need far less random.
