Catalyst charges... for first dragonflight patch

i am thinking they might leave it there for mog unlocks but with the new gear might move it to the new zone

That would be lovely.

I’m really confused.

Mentions the Creation Catalyst. There was a whole season after season 3. Yes, the bonus would be the same. And the catalyst stayed open with all remaining charges. But it was a whole new season of gear to obtain.

There was not a new raid tier and nothing new to obtain. Just Fated versions of the exact same gear.

At an increased ilvl threshold all around. No one was using season 3 gear by the end of season 4.

Incorrect. Not everyone was getting Fated gear and there was no new gear to change in the Catalyst. It’s the same raid tier, just different ilevel.

What’re you talking about? There were 3 raids in rotation, 2 of which did not drop tier. There was a whole new rotation of M+ dungeons with a brand new loot pool. There was a whole new PvP season.

Correct. And again… Sepulcher was the last raid tier. Thus, there were no changes to the Catalyst.

  • Your 9.2 Tier Sets are still active in Season 4, and the Creation Catalyst will remain on with all of its accumulated charges. Tier Tokens won’t be added to Castle Nathria and Sanctum of Domination, as you’ll be able to upgrade any item you get to a higher ilvl piece of Tier just like you can on live right now.

Yes. But you could not catalyze gear from season 3 during season 4.

IIRC it was confirmed in a semi-recent interview that you’ll be able to use the Catalyst an unlimited amount for Season 1 appearances going forward or something.

I’m not sure how many times I can say this. There were no new raid tiers added in the Fated season. Sepulcher was the last raid tier. The Catalyst worked the same way. I literally quoted Blizzard for you. That’s all I can do for you.

You’re arguing against an argument I’m not making. That’s a you problem.

You aren’t making an argument. So it seems to me that you simply do not understand how it worked. There were no changes to the Catalyst for Fated, because the gear from ZM, M+, etc. could be turned into Sepulcher raid tier.

There was no new raid tier. A higher ilevel is not a new raid tier.

There were no changes to the Catalyst.

There’s not much more I can add here, so I’ll leave it at that.

Is this true? That would be awesome!? Many of the tier mogs are locked behind pieces that would only drop as other items so this would make sense.

I am seeing it hard to collect lfr mogs for example. But its nice that the minizone has normal/heroic looks. They are such good mogs to have.

This is the official announcement as of a half hour ago:

Yea I noticed the article on wowhead.

I am sad to hear that it won’t work for a few weeks. It seems its opening up in june 13 so is that few weeks just a month where we can’t use it for mogs? That’s very unfortunate.

Either way this sets a precedent for past season mogs to maybe be more lax to farm which I am in favor of. I just think the catalyst should be up sooner, and it shouldn’t impact previous seasons. Although it’s understandable for now, I hope they prevent these issues in future seasons. Transmog hunting taking an L for a few weeks ; /

Indeed, but I have a feeling that it’s probably a coding thing, where if it’s opened up, it’s opened up for everything and not just one or the other.

It’s very likely that all S1 Revival Catalyst charges will be deleted on May 9th.

Season 1 gear won’t require charges and that will be the case, since Season 2 Catalyst starts all of our characters with 1 charge:

This is the best change, but yea I am rushing to use up my charges right now since you won’t have access to the catalyst for the old season 1 stuff for a while!
