What to Do Before Patch 9.2 Goes Live

Recommended Posts

Patch 9.2 is hitting live servers next week, so we compiled a list of things to do before the update goes live.

1. Farm Torghast

In Patch 9.2, the Unity Legendary Power unlocks at Revered with the Enlightened. To craft and upgrade the new Legendary item, you will need Soul Ash and Soul Cinders, so it's not a bad idea to farm Torghast now to get the currencies ahead of time. In Patch 9.2, you can send Soul Cinders to alts, so you won't end up farming Torghast that much...

Note that the Unity belt has Item Level 265 and cannot be upgraded, which means you must craft and upgrade a completely new Legendary item. A brand new Rank 7 Legendary with that power has item level 291.

2. Inspect Your Legendaries

Your currently-equipped Legendary may be the Covenant Legendary Power, which is the same one we're getting in 9.2, so it might be a good idea to inspect if you'll need to recraft a new Legendary item. It's better to do it now than to rush when the update hits live servers.

3. Learn and Upgrade Your Conduits to Item Level 200

You can buy Incense of Infinity Incense of Infinity from Au'Dara <Heirloom Broker> in Oribos near the Flight Master for 500 Gold. The item teaches you all Conduits and raises their item level to 200. You must reach Renown 80 on one of your characters to be able to buy it.

4. Keystone Master Rewards Are Going Away

Shadowlands Season 2 ends with the release of Patch 9.2 and with it the Keystone Master reward Soultwisted Deathwalker Soultwisted Deathwalker can no longer be obtained.

4. Spend Your Conquest!

Now's a good time to get rid of Conquest Points, as they will be converted to gold when the new Season starts.

5. Farm Honor

Honor will not reset so now's a good time to cap it so that you can buy new PvP gear when Season 3 starts.

6. Ahead of the Curve / Cutting Edge Sylvanas Windrunner Raid Achievements

The achievements will be removed on March 1, 2022, so you have two weeks from now to beat Sylvanas on Heroic or Mythic difficulty before the Sepulcher opens. You can find more information here.

The following post is based on MrGM's video that you can watch below.

I currently have the legendary belt.  What do I need to do?  This is so dang confusing for me.

Its possible to wear 2 legendaries a few weeks into 9.2 

You will get a belt with the covenant specific legendary on it (the covenant powers were introduced in 9.1 at 44 renown) so you want to craft your best other legendary in a different slot.

The belt you recieve will change depending on what covenant you choose, so if you are nightfae it will have the nightfae specific legendary, venthyr the venthyr specific one and so on. If you swap covenant, the belt changes.

Let's be thorough.

Once chapter 7 of Zereth Mortis is unlocked (5th week from the patch's release), you'll get that belt mentioned above with Unity power (power: can be equipped with any other legendary, switches effect based on the current covenant) for completing it.

AND, if you happen to be Revered with the Enlightened at this point, you can also buy the Memory of Unity (functions exactly like any other Runecarver memory upon learning, i.e. account unlock) - which allows you to craft a new legendary with Unity in any gear slot you want in the same manner you craft legendaries now, and upgrade it to 291 like you would a ny other legendary.

So, if your BIS legendary happens to be a belt (say, Brewmaster), and it is not covenant-specific - best thing to do is to buy a 262 non-belt base item now that they are still cheap, and turn it into Unity right away, so you'll have both legendary effects (ilvl is irrelevant for the effects themselves), and then upgrade them to 291 overtime.

If it is covenant-specific and a belt now (like Boomkin) - look up which legendary pairs with it best in 9.2 and craft that one now. And when Unity is avaliable, you can either use the belt provided by campaign, or craft a 262 Unity like in the scenario above - waist slot or otherwise. Given the provided belt is non-upgradable and lacks a socket, I'd still go with crafting 262 Unity, if you can afford an extra base item now.

I'm still not really getting it.  This is one of the most irritatingly confusing things.  Maybe I'm just not asking the right questions.  I only know that I have a legendary belt right now, and I have it maxed out, and it was incredibly, incredibly expensive to do this.  And supposedly this new legendary we'll get will be a belt.  So... I'm just *filtered*?  I don't understand.  All that gold, all that farming torghast, all that time to make my current legendary is just wasted now?  I don't get it.  I don't understand exactly what I'm supposed to do.  I feel like my stomach's in a knot.  Why the hell was making a belt leggo even an option if all of my work is going to be nothing.  I don't understand any of this *filtered*.

Let's try a simpler route then. If you parting ways with your current legendary is absolutely not an option for you, then farm the new rep, buy the memory of unity and craft your second legendary on any armour piece you like.

Yes, you should buy crafting mats or gear for alts if you want to get the most out of it. More information can be found here.

- This is completely wrong. You can get the achievement and mount before Season 3 starts.

      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.

      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
