Tip: Save up the selection chest to pick your last required piece.
4. Advanced Honing
Advance Hone/Temper to one of the thresholds listed below, based on available gold, T3 upgrade materials and T4 content goals (Aegir NM or HM).
- Temper to unlock Advanced Honing on as many parts as possible.
- Advance Hone first to +10 and Temper to unlock +10-20 on as many parts as possible.
- Advance Hone as many parts as possible to +20. Ideally, all parts.

After you have transferred your gear to T4, visit the following vendors to convert your (bound) T3 upgrade materials into T4.
You should consider keeping your unbound T3 materials for a while, in case the price of those items spikes in the auction house. In that case, you could make a lot of gold.
Exchange Honing Materials

- Leapstone
- Destruction Stone
- Guardian Stone
Legion Raid Exchange

8. Convert Gems
Convert all your T3 Gems to T4. Exceptions are the lvl 10 DMG gems of skills, which contribute to more than ~25% of your total damage.
