Creation Catalyst Quick Guide - 9.2

Here is a short guide for the Creation Catalyst.
If anyone needs further clarification I will edit this post as needed.

The Creation Catalyst can convert any Season 3 Raid, M+, PvP, World boss Antros or Sandworn Relic gear into a piece of your Season 3 Tier Set.
Season 3 Raid items that are Bind on Equip(BoE) are eligible.


Tier Sets only have bonuses on the following slots:

  1. Head
  2. Shoulder
  3. Chest
  4. Gloves
  5. Legs

Tier Set refers to the entire appearance. Tier Bonus refers to the “on equip” effect from using 2 or 4 of the above mentioned slots, Head, Shoulder, Chest, Gloves and Legs.

  • Creation Catalyst has 1 charge this week.
  • The next charge will be available after the weekly reset, Tuesday April 19th.
  • Charges are cumulative, you can save your charge this week until next week.
  • As Season 3 progresses we will gain charges at a faster rate, up until we are gaining a new charge every other day.
  • Converting Bracers, Belt, Boots or Cloaks WILL NOT count towards the 2pc or 4pc bonus and should be avoided until you have unlocked your 4pc bonus.
  • Only the HELM, SHOULDERS, CHEST, GLOVES, LEGS have Tier Bonuses

Here is an example of an item that gives the tier bonus(image taken from Ronalio’s post):

Note when you mouseover the item in the preview window it will show the bonuses for equipping 2 and 4 pieces.
Here is an example of an item that does not give the bonus(thank you again Ronalio for posting these):

Note the lack of bonus effects listed below the stats.

Great guide. The fact that people made off-set pieces thinking that they will count towards the tier set bonus only gives Blizzard more ammunition to say “People still weren’t ready for the Catalyst. We should have delayed it longer.”
