An Early Preview of the Cypher of the First Ones Progression System in Patch 9.2

Recommended Posts

An early look at the Cypher of the First Ones progression system in Patch 9.2 and the perks it unlocks.


Disclaimer: This is a very early preview of the new progression system in Patch 9.2. Many perks haven't been added yet. For example, Blizzard mentioned we will be able to unlock the ability to wear 2 legendaries at once and flying through the Cypher Research Console.

In Zereth Mortis, we will be farming a new currency called "Cyphers of the First Ones". The tooltip describes cyphers as "ineffable echoes of the power used to forge reality itself."

The currency is used to unlock perks in the new Cypher of the First Ones progression system in Eternity's End. Blizzard offered a brief preview of the Cypher Research Console perks UI in the 9.2 press kit.

The Cypher Research Console has Cypher Equipment Level 1/6 at the beginning and you must spend 740 Cyphers of the First Ones to increase the effectiveness of your Cypher equipment.

As you can see above, the system is quite elaborate, and during our journey through Zereth Mortis, we'll gradually unlock perks in different avenues of understanding.

During our testing, the console had just four rows and perks that we highlight below.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!

      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.

      Dragonflight Season 4 adds a new world quest for Spark of Awakening.
      To get your Spark of Awakening, you must complete a different quest every week.
      The weekly quest is available from Therazal in central Valdrakken. There are 3 options, but only one is active every week, similar to how Awakened raids rotate.

      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      Completing any of the 3 quests above grants the Season 4 spark fragment (Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms.
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
