I'm a returning player. Been gone for about 6 months Haven't played Warlords of NY yet. What should be my top 5 things to do? Would any of my old gear still be viable? Any other insights would be greatly appreciated.

I was in your shoes exactly a week ago so let me give you my experience. First of all, old gear is no longer a factor but don’t just dismantle it. Go to the recalibration system. They’ve added a new system where you can pull stats and talents from gear to have it permanently stored and ready to use on any gear of the same type, as many times as you want. So dump all your old gear there and most of the new gear you get that you don’t use.

Second, finish the warlords campaign asap because the new endgame revolves around XP as much as loot. So don’t waste xp doing side work or grinds that you could do after you finish the campaign.

Third there is a new raid type level in New York called The Summit. You get to choose what targeted loot spawns there making grinding so much easier

Fourth, they’ve added a global difficulty setting from the map. So if you change the global difficulty to challenging you would only ever get gold drops or better (except from non-combat chests which can still give you purples) I’m not actually sure if this was part of the warlords update because I haven’t played since release but it was new to me so I’m mentioning it

Last thing I can think of is that they’re actually rerunning the first four seasons right now. There’s about 2 weeks left in season 1 so you can catch up on all the seasons of content you missed while gone

Also transmog is finally here but again idk if that was in the last update or if I just haven’t played since it was added

This is a pretty concise way to begin your journey to New York!

The subreddit also has some comprehensive guides once you hit level 40, such as this one. I hope this gives you a solid start :)
