First Week Content Summary
Catalyst
As the transition between Season 1 and Season 2 in World of Warcraft occurs, you might be wondering what will happen with your Catalysts. During the transition, Catalysts will continue to turn Season 1 items into Season 1 tier gear. This option will be open immediately and, according to developers, it will be free. So, if you have any charges left on your Catalysts that you don't need, it's a good idea to spend them before the patch is released. Once the patch is out, you'll be able to convert any Mythic Plus item from Season 1 or any raid item from Season 1 into tier gear. This feature is particularly helpful for those who are still working on their catch-up gear or those seeking specific transmog items for their characters from LFR or Normal mode. As for the Season 2 Catalysts, they will be used to convert Season 2 items into Season 2 tier gear. However, this feature won't be available immediately. You'll have to wait six weeks into Season 2 before you can start using the Season 2 Catalysts. This means that players will have ample time to acquire new items and prepare themselves for the next stage of gearing in the game. In conclusion, as the game transitions between seasons, make sure to utilize your Season 1 Catalysts while they're still relevant. Keep in mind that Season 2 Catalysts will not be available for use until six weeks into the new season, so plan your gearing strategy accordingly.Crests
Now let’s discuss Crests, which are part of the new upgrading system in World of Warcraft. If you're unfamiliar with how the new upgrading system works or what Crests are, I highly recommend reading our article on Crests as it explains the entire process, including the currency and other important details. As of writing this blog, I don't have complete information on what will happen during the first week of the patch. Therefore, we're not 100% sure if you can obtain Whelpling Crests and Drake Crests during that initial week. However, we can confirm that you won't be able to get Wyrm Crests and Aspect Crests, as they are tied to Mythic Plus and raiding content, which will not be available in the first week. Whelpling Crests and Drake Crests are the two lower-tier upgrading Crests, and they can be obtained from various sources, including World Quests, outdoor content, rares, and weekly quests such as Dragon Bank, Community Feasts, and more. These Crests provide players with a way to upgrade their gear and progress their characters without having to wait for the higher-tier content to become available. Summing up, while we're not entirely certain about the availability of Whelpling Crests and Drake Crests during the first week of the patch, it's important to be aware of the new upgrading system and the role that Crests play in character progression. Keep an eye out for any updates or announcements regarding the availability of these Crests as the patch rolls out, and be prepared to take advantage of this new feature to enhance your gaming experience.To Do Week 1
