Season 2 items no longer upgradeable

The gear you purchase with weekly tokens from events like Time Rift and Dreamsurge can be upgraded to 450 and can be catalyzed for free for season 2 tier and appearance.

If youā€™re looking to catalyze lfr/normal set appearances though you cant do that from those pieces right? Itā€™d have to be 420-430 ilvl or so for that.

The person above you also said those events have been upgraded for season 3, havenā€™t checked myself though.

No the time rift / dreamsurge gear give Aberrus LFR appearances now. Much like how the 2/3 primalist gear give normal Vault and 3/3 gives heroic Vault appearances. Sadly you cannot use the 1/3 primalist gear with the catalyst.

Those pieces start at 428 when you buy them and catalyze to last seasonā€™s appearances. The helm Iā€™m wearing right now is one. LFR and normal for looks, not sure if a full upgrade gets the heroic color.

Iā€™ve only gotten the LFR appearances from them. Even at 450 (8/8 adventurer).

Yes they did do that a few weeks ago, thankfully.

There are still a few things that werenā€™t, like the boss drops from the Researchers event. Those are still season 2.
