WARCRAFT SURVIVORS Post-Heroic gearing
Azeroth Survivors gear, stars and sets
Source scope · 核对范围 · 출처 범위 (2026-10-29): Exact patch dates, talent values, timers and scores attributed to azerothsurvivors.app are single-source community claims. v0.125.0 is the newest entry in that log; wowsurvivors.com independently showed v0.123.0 when checked on 29 October. These are not independently measured client or archive versions. Source policy.
The three systems in one table
These are the gear-facing changes the patch log names. “Logged” means the row is written in the compilation that cites Aethus’s channel; “not published” means the log is silent, so this page does not fill the gap.
| System | Added | What the log says | Still open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Armor stars | v0.123.0 | Armor carries a star rating; an eight-piece set can reach five stars | Exact stat gain per star, and whether stars survive a reroll |
| Set bonuses | v0.123.0 | Bonuses at four pieces and at eight pieces | Whether mixed sets count toward either breakpoint |
| Heroic gate | v0.123.0 | Heroic N unlocks at N stars | Whether the gate is account-wide or per hero |
| Legendary Echo | v0.124.0 / v0.125.0 | Echo cut from 4.2% to 2.1% on Legendary armor | Whether the cut applies to existing items or only new drops |
Stars and the Heroic gate
The useful reading is that stars are both a power signal and a key. If Heroic II needs two stars, then a full eight-piece set is not automatically ready: the star total is the number that matters. The log does not print a star cap per slot or a stat curve, so a “best in slot” list would be fiction at this point.
Because the gate is written as Heroic N at N stars, the five Heroic steps and the five star levels line up numerically. That is the log’s wording, not an official table. The Heroic page keeps the five steps and what changes in each.
Set bonuses at four and eight
Four-piece and eight-piece are the only breakpoints named. A four-piece bonus is reachable early; the eight-piece row is the one that competes with mixing two strong items from different sets. The log says an eight-piece set can be pushed to five stars, which reads as an incentive to stay in one set rather than mix.
Class pages on this site still print single-item examples (Plagueheart Robes, Robes of Faith, Sulfuras) from the pre-Heroic build index. Those rows are item names and stats, not set membership. I have not invented a set name for any class.
Co-op: who gets the drop
Co-op does not share gear. When a boss dies, each hero rolls for their own class, including a downed hero. That rule predates Heroic and the log does not change it. A party can therefore cover more slots per run, but no source says drop rates scale with party size.
Lobby capacity is 2–5 since v0.125.0, host included. If you are farming a specific slot, the bottleneck is the roll, not the number of players.
What changed in the latest build
v0.125.0 on 29 October 2026 cut Legendary armor Echo to 2.1% and moved the shared-experience falloff from 0.48 to 0.312. Echo is the only gear stat named in that build. The rest of the 29 October notes are co-op and lobby changes, which are on the co-op page.
What I checked
I read the 0.123 entry three times because “stars” and “Heroic” are described in the same sentence. What I will not do is turn that into a stat table: the log gives breakpoints and a gate, not numbers per star. The class gear rows on this site stay as single-item examples until a source prints set membership.
