The ground-breaking feature allows players to transform any applicable item into a much more powerful piece of tier-set gear.\u00a0 The Creation Catalyst allows players to transform gear from Shadowlands Season Three into tier gear, with the applicable sources of gear being from raids, Mythic+ dungeons, PvP, or overworld gear acquired in Zereth Mortis.\u00a0 The two-piece and four-piece set bonuses that many players desire from tier gear are only able to be acquired through items worn in the head, shoulder, chest, hands, or legs slots. Bracers, cloaks, belts, and boots may also be transformed into \u201ctier\u201d gear, although they will only grant a matching appearance and new set of stats, as opposed to a tier-set bonus.\u00a0 How to unlock and use the Creation Catalyst in Zereth Mortis There is no hard requirement regarding reputation with the Enlightened faction in order to use the Creation Catalyst. All you\u2019ll have to do to unlock the Catalyst is progress through Patch 9.2\u2019s campaign in Zereth Mortis.\u00a0 After catching up with the Zereth Mortis campaign, you\u2019ll receive a quest in the quest hub of Haven from Viol, the Enlightened Quartermaster. Viol will send you to the Creation Catalyst, where your task will be to use it. In order to reach the Catalyst, you\u2019ll either need to have flying unlocked in Zereth Mortis, or use the portal directly underneath it found in the Catalyst Gardens.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve reached the Creation Catalyst, using it is incredibly simple. All you have to do is input a piece of Shadowlands Season Three gear, and the Catalyst will spit out a piece of tier gear from the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid.\u00a0 Keep in mind that the item level of the original item will be maintained, although its secondary stats will be removed in favor of the tier piece\u2019s inlaid secondary stats. Only tertiary stats such as Leech and Avoidance will carry over to your transformed piece of tier gear.\u00a0 Transforming a piece of non-tier gear into a tier item costs Cosmic Flux, a currency you\u2019ll find by way of completing activities in Zereth Mortis. Depending on the piece of gear you\u2019re transforming, more Cosmic Flux will be required. For example, bracers and cloaks, which don\u2019t provide tier-set bonuses or many stats to begin with, cost only 600 Cosmic Flux to transform, while chest pieces, helmets, and pants all cost 1500 Cosmic Flux to turn into tier gear. After transforming a piece of gear, the Creation Catalyst will go on cooldown for one week.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/03160359\/WoW-ZerethMortis21.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572654"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=572654"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":572714,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572654\/revisions\/572714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=572654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=572654"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=572654"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=572654"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=572654"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=572654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
