- To join Battlegrounds or Arena, you need an average item level (iLvL) of 220, which is equivalent to full Tier 12 (T12) gear. A combination of gear pieces can also meet this requirement.
(Note: iLvL stands for item level and is not the same as gearscore.) The requirement may be adjusted in the future.

T12 = 220 iLvL
T13 = 230 iLvL
T14 = 240 iLvL
T14.5 = 245 iLvL
T15 = 250 iLvL
T15.5 = 255 iLvL
Donor/VIP = 300 iLvL
