Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7 introduced a way for players to gear up alt characters and get themselves up to speed by way of Primalist gear tokens. At item level 385, Primalist items are equivalent to loot you can obtain in the Normal version of the Vault of the Incarnates raid. Additionally, Primalist gear has a built-in set bonus that is awarded to players who wear multiple pieces from the gear set, making it viable through some of WoW’s tougher max-level content.
While this gear is unquestionably strong, it has some players asking if it’s readily available to purchase with Elemental Overflow, a currency that’s been thrust to the forefront of Dragonflight in the game’s most recent patch.
Can you get item level 385 gear with Elemental Overflow in Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7?
Although you cannot buy item level 385 gear on command in the Forbidden Reach, there’s a way to bypass the endless grind of defeating rare spawns, opening Forbidden Hoards and Zskera Vault doors, and completing daily quests.
If you head to Valdrakken at coordinates 38.12, 37.65, you’ll find Mythressa, the Apprentice Primal Researcher selling you 359 Raging Tempest gear for 200 to 500 Elemental Overflow. Although initially, this gear wasn’t upgradeable, it can be upgraded starting Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7 to levels two and three, respectively.
So, what you want to do here is stock up on Raging Tempest gear and use your Storm Sigils to upgrade that gear to 385 item level gear. Once you have your Raging Tempest gear upgraded to 385 item level, you can then use Untapped Forbidden Knowledge and more Storm Sigils to upgrade that gear to 395 item level gear. While the first upgrade that increases your item level from 359 to 385 will only use Storm Sigils, the second upgrade increasing your item level from 385 to 395 will cost you both Storm Sigils and one Untapped Forbidden Knowledge.

Unlike Primalist gear tokens, however, Untapped Forbidden Knowledge is not bind-on-account. Untapped Forbidden Knowledge is used to upgrade Primlist gear obtained from Forbidden Reach activities.
Although this method of gearing up your alt is far more reliable than praying that RNG will be on your side while doing activities on the Forbidden Reach, it will cost you a bit more Storm Sigils. Still, this should be faster than the original method of gearing up as all you need to do is farm up Storm Sigils. Luckily, rare bosses in the Forbidden Reach have a very high chance to drop Storm Sigls, so you should be able to stock up on them quickly.
