So, having gotten the link from an FAQ (on this board, I believe) I was consulting this guide to gearing your DK. Mine is 75 (about to be 76) now and I'm thinking of replacing some of the gear I got in my mid to late 60s. However, she's actually still questing in Outlands because I've got a wild and utterly illogical hair about clearing the quests in each zone in order of level before moving onto the next one--I'm almost finished with Netherstorm and will then be moving onto SWV and THEN I will finally hit Northrend.
So, needless to say, the quested and dropped gear I'm seeing isn't an improvement for me.
Upgrading isn't really necessary with what I've got on versus the content I'm doing--most things I am fighting go down fairly quickly and easily. But, as I start to scrape the bottom of the barrel as far as quests are concerned, I'm running into 3-5man lvl 67-70 quests (for instance, I'm not QUITE done with Blade's Edge Mountains, having 3 quests left to do, because all the quests remaining to me are 5-man) and I'd like to not have to just be able to solo them and get them out of my way rather than asking friends to help. So I would like to upgrade just to make polishing the last of this stuff off easier so I can move the heck on.
Anyway, I was eyeballing the notion of spiked saronite armor because my main is a miner and I have saronite coming out of various bodily orifices, but the problem is, I can't seem to find it anyway. Guildies who have linked their blacksmithing don't have it. I can't find it when I search the gear either here on Zam or at Wowhead. Does this crap even exist, and if so, where can I find a list of the required mats so I know what mats to gather up?
