The Revival Catalyst is now live in World of Warcraft Dragonflight, giving players unfettered access to tier gear. The Catalyst gives players an opportunity to turn any standard piece of gear from Dragonflight season one into a tier piece.
If you’ve been behind on kitting out your characters with gear from Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible, or have been miserably unlucky in the six weeks since the raid has opened, the Revival Catalyst will allow you to transform any piece of eligible gear into a powerful tier piece.
To unlock the Catalyst and start using it to increase the power of all your characters, you’ll have to complete a short quest. Here’s how to start (and quickly complete) the quests needed to unlock Dragonflight’s Revival Catalyst on all of your characters.
How to unlock the Revival Catalyst in Dragonflight
The quest chain to unlock the Revival Catalyst starts in Valdrakken. You should see a quest marker on your map located near the Seat of the Aspects in the center of the city. Head there and speak with Therazal to begin a quest called The Catalyst Boon.
When you speak with Therazal, he’ll task you with seeking out the Revival Catalyst just east of Valdrakken. The Catalyst can be found at coordinates 59, 53 in Tyrhold in Thaldraszus.
Once you get to the Catalyst, speak with Antuka, the Catalyst Steward. Moving forward, you’ll get one charge every week. The charge is called Renascent Shadowflame and you can store from six to eight charges on your character. So, I repeat, there’s no completing Mythic+ dungeons, raid encounters, and world bosses to fill the bar—each weekly reset should simply give you one charge on your characters.
After completing the quest to earn a charge of the Revival Catalyst, each of your characters on your account will have a charge available to them.
