However, even if a newly acquired piece of loot is at a higher ilvl and upgrade level, if it's not considered the user's best-in-slot it will be a waste of Valor. It's best to equip gear that has better stats, no matter the situation, but players should keep the best-in-slot gear in their inventory for regular upgrades. Eventually, the gear will be at a high enough upgrade level to justify re-equipping. While running dungeons a player might get a piece of equipment that is best-in-slot for their class specialization, but it's upgrade level (and consequently ilvl) might be low. As a result, if someone doesn't want to waste time, they should make sure to look up their class and specialization's best-in-slot gear for max level. First things first, Valor is a relatively scarce resource. Players can't buy it at the auction house, they can only get it by completing certain in-game objectives.
