Requires: 2x Sacred Shard, 4x Soul Dust

While it can be put on Heirloom cloaks, like all other Shadowlands armor enchants, the effects will not become active until the character reaches level 50. So don't bother using this or the other Shadowlands armor enchants on heirloom gear.

Shadowlands Ret Paladin Speed Gear

This expansion is LOW on guaranteed + speed items, but thankfully retains some speed gems and enchants from previous expansions, namely the Azerite Trait Longstrider. If you're looking to farm a +speed set, follow this rule: If you see anything with +speed on it, take it. If you see it in your weekly vault, take it, even over dps upgrades. +speed items will last you multiple patches and possibly expansions. The weekly vault seems to have a higher chance to give tertiary stats, so keep an eye on it.

Prior to SL, Longstrider gave 6-9% movement speed per trait. Now due to reduced secondary stats it's about 3%. Longstrider may get stronger as stats inflate over the expansion. I would say it's about equivalent to +30 speed or so. Keep in mind that +30 speed is about 3% move speed, give or take. If you're strating out on makinga set, it may be a good idea to use item restoration and get some of those Azerite armor pieces with Longstrider back.

If you have a stash of Prismatic Manapearl, Benthic items are still a good source to get some guaranteed +speed items, albeit only about +10 speed (~1% movespeed) per item. Benthic shoulders are the only Benthic Azerite Armor with Longstrider.

Itemslot List:
Head - Azerite Armor with Longstrider Azerite Trait OR any helm with +speed (testing opportunity: gem slot with Fleet Primal Diamond?)
Neck - Heart of Azeroth OR Any neck with +speed IF AND ONLY IF Head, Shoulder, and Chest are NOT Azerite.
Shoulder - Azerite Armor with Longstrider Azerite Trait OR any shoulder with +speed
Back - Enchant Cloak - Fortified Speed enchanted on any cape, current SL cape with +speed preferred
Chest - Azerite Armor with Longstrider Azerite Trait OR any chest with +speed
Wrist - Benthic bracers (guaranteed +speed if you have the primastics), OR any wrist with +speed
Gloves - Benthic gloves (guaranteed +speed if you have the primastics), OR any glove with +speed
Waist - Benthic belt (guaranteed +speed if you have the primastics), OR any belt with +speed
Legs - Benthic pants (guaranteed +speed if you have the primastics), OR any legs with +speed
Feet - Any boots with less than 50 ilvl, enchanted with Minor Speed. This enchant is a 10% movespeed by itself.
Ring1* - Any ring with +speed
Ring2* - Any ring with +speed
Trinket1 - Any trinket with +speed, Humming Black Dragonscale is decent by itself though.
Trinket2 - Any trinket with +speed, Skulker's Wing is decent as well since the on-use gives +speed.
Weapon - Runeblade of Baron Rivendare. 10% movespeed by itself

* You will need at least TWO gemslots in any of the above items, this is to insert Straddling Viridium and Straddling Sage Agate. These two gems are 3% and 5% movespeed, stacking to 8%. I prefer to use rings as the gemslot items. Rings seem to commonly get a gemslot or have the ability to have one added. Necks as well.

If you have a speed set and are replacing something old with a current SL items, reminder that +30 speed is about 3% move speed, give or take.

I'm currently at +152% movespeed AS A RET without procs and running Azerite gear, 3 . Legacy content is MUCH faster and easier to clear. I'll be adding another 3% speed to that next week since I got a ring with +speed but no gemslot, will be getting Venari slot and putting a gem into it to replace a BFA non +speed ring that just has a gemslot in it (from Wrathion socket).

Do we know why thie speed Scales from 10% at lvl 50 to 3% at level 60?

Comment by Phasha

As of 10.0, these old SL cloak enchants cannot be applied to cloaks with an item level over 311(?).

I tried Enchant Cloak - Fortified Leech on a 310-ilevel cloak and it works. I tried Enchant Cloak - Fortified Leech and Enchant Cloak - Fortified Avoidance on a 332-ilevel cloak and both give me the error message "Target is too high level."
