World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery is making older raids relevant again and the first one on the list is Blackfathom Deeps. As usual, to get ready for the raid, you are encouraged to have your best-in-slot gear ready.
Because Druids can play all three roles in WoW, they also have three best-in-slot equipment sets. Just for the record, these are PRE-RAID best-in-slot equipment items. To get the actual BiS items, you need to finish the raid. Without further ado, here are the best BiS items for Druids in WoW Classic SoD.
Druid DPS Pre-raid BiS Gear in WoW Classic SoD
Get into your cat form and claw your way to the top of the DPS meter with these BiS items. Most of these are world drops, and you’ll need to buy them at the Auction House or get them as random world drops. Thanks to WoWhead for this build.

Druid Healer Pre-raid BiS Gear in WoW Classic SoD
If you need to go down the healing route, here’s everything you’re going to need to be the best you can be before you start raiding. Again, a lot of items are world drops but many of them can be bought from craters, or you can even craft them yourself. You may want to consider becoming an engineer to equip some of these.

DruidTank Pre-raid BiS Gear in WoW Classic SoD
Last but not least, if you want to go bear form and maul all the mobs in Blackfathom Deeps, you’re going to need some serious armor. Unfortunately, tank druids will have to pay a premium because most of this equipment is a random world drop.
| Item Name | Item Type | Details |
| Humbert’s Helm | Head | Drops from Dun Garok Rifleman in Hillsbrad Foothills |
| Mantle of Thieves | Shoulder | Razorfen Kraul / Trash Mobs |
| Sargeant’s Cloak | Back | PvP Rank 3 |
| Wrangler’s Wraps of Power | Chest | World Drop or AH |
| Headhunter’s Bands | Bracer | World Drop or AH |

| Minor Recombobulator | Trinket 1 | Engineering |
| Rune of Perfection | Trinket 2 | Warsong Gulch Honored PvP |
| Orb of Mistmantle | Relic | World Drop or AH |
Just to note, you don’t need every single one of these items in order do Blackfathom Depths. While you should gather as many of these as you can, you can still do the 10-man raid without most of the equipment. I suggest you find a couple of these items, do the raid a few times, and focus on searching for the rest of the items while you wait for the raid to reset.
Hopefully, you’ll be able to move up from the lists here to the actual BiS items for your Druid. Have fun in WoW Classic SoD.
