We're going to have to take the long road here.

In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, the Revival Catalyst is one of the strongest tools available to players to catch up their alts in addition to improving the power of their main.

The current iteration of the UI does not display how many charges are available to your character when you’re looking to use the Catalyst. It also seems like it doesn’t even tell you how much the transformation costs anymore (it always costs one charge).

The Catalyst allows you to turn any relevant piece of Dragonflight season three gear into a tier set item, granting you immediate access to a tier set’s bonus effect without having to farm a specific boss. Each character on your account is granted one usable charge every two weeks, and your characters can each have a maximum of six charges available to them at any time. 

How do you check how many Revival Catalyst charges your character has?

There is no baked-in way to tell how many charges of the Catalyst your character has because they aren’t displayed on the currencies tab. The only way to do so is to run a script that will give you feedback through the in-game chat

Luckily, a user called leobolin on Wowhead wrote a script that you can copy and paste into WoW’s chat to get a direct answer as to how many Catalyst Charges your character has:

  • /run local n=(C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2796).quantity or 0)print(string.format(“You have %d Catalyst Charge%s Available”,n,(n==1)and””or”s”))

You’ll get a warning that your game might crash or that you might lose items, but don’t worry, we aren’t trying to do anything illegal here, so you can run this without worrying. If you copied and pasted the image correctly, you should a message that reads: “You have (number) Catalyst Charge available.

To see the number available for your other characters, log into them and check their progression manually by running the script again.
