Can someone explain endgame progression to a WoW player?

  • Legendary skins (or other expensive skins)
  • Stat infusions, which increase your stats very slightly for a large cost
  • Getting and using top quality food
  • Gearing alternate characters and builds
  • Gold to gems for shared slots, character slots, bank/bag slots, or gem store skins

I always aim to improve my account in a utilitarian way. It's a good idea to start off unlocking account upgrades like bank tabs and shared slots through gold->gem conversion (or you can just buy gems). I would highly recommend buying the copper-fed salvage kit. Best purchase I've made in this game. Anyway, I do fractals every day and I raid consistently. I use the fractal relics combined with my excess gold to improve the stats of the characters I use. This costs around 1000g per character so it's a bit of a slow process but I aim to do it for every character I have. It's like a 2% dps increase for power classes and a 4% for condi classes so if that doesn't sound worth it to you, then it's not a big deal. You can use your gold on legendaries instead if you value fasion over the minor dps increase.

Over time, doing fractals and raids will end up getting your enough pieces of gear to gear up more builds (using winterberries for trinkets and raid tokens to finish up sets), which makes you a better raider since you'll be able to adapt more. This also extends the gameplay the game offers because you will have more things to learn and the game won't get stale too fast.
