Find out everything you need to know about Flightstones, a new currency used to upgrade gear in Patch 10.1.

What Are Flightstones?

Flightstones are a new Season 2 exclusive currency added in Patch 10.1 used to upgrade Dragonflight Season 2 PvE gear. 

When Can You Start Earning Flightstones?

Flightstones will begin to drop on May 9, 2023, when Dragonflight Season 2 begins.

What Type of Gear Can Be Upgraded with Flightstones in Patch 10.1?

As Flightstones are exclusive to Season 2, you can only use them to upgrade Dragonflight Season 2 PvE gear. In our specific scenario, we have a Veteran Suffused Vest with a 2/8 Upgrade Level looted from a Fyrak Assault chest, which you can upgrade with Flightstones.

...err...

Do we not know what exactly they upgrade (IE Mythic+ or Raid, or is it just crafted/other?).    "Looted from a chest" could be different things.

Do we know the limits in ilevel to upgrading as such?

I was planning to, but PTR Realms are currently offline. I'll add more information about upgrades when they are back online.

      The third week of Dragonflight Season 3 is upon us and here is the current Mythic+ tier list.
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      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.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 3
      This week's affixes are: Fortified, Volcanic, Spiteful.
      Healer Tier List
      We've got a bit of a shake-up in the healer department. Mistweaver Monk is now the only spec in the S-Tier (up from A-Tier) and Discipline Priest is down to A-Tier. Restoration Shaman went up by one tier, and more.
      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk (up from A-Tier) A-Tier: Discipline Priest (down from S-Tier) Restoration Shaman (up from B-Tier) Holy Paladin B-Tier: Holy Priest (down from A-Tier) Preservation Evoker C-Tier: Restoration Druid
      Tank Tier List
      Unfortunately, there are no changes in the tank tier list this week.
      S-Tier: Vengeance Demon Hunter A-Tier: Blood Death Knight Protection Paladin B-Tier: Brewmaster Monk Guardian Druid Protection Warrior
      DPS Tier List
      Arms Warrior and Arcane Mage are down to B-Tier this week. Elemental Shaman is up in B-Tier and Frost Death Knight is down to C-Tier this week.
      S-Tier: Havoc Demon Hunter Augmentation Evoker Beast Mastery Hunter A-Tier: Demonology Warlock Outlaw Rogue Retribution Paladin Balance Druid Enhancement Shaman Fury Warrior Assassination Rogue Frost Mage Fire Mage B-Tier: Arms Warrior (down from A-Tier) Arcane Mage (down from A-Tier) Feral Druid Unholy Death Knight Windwalker Monk Survival Hunter Shadow Priest Devastation Evoker Elemental Shaman (up from C-Tier) C-Tier: Frost Death Knight (down from B-Tier) Marksmanship Hunter Subtlety Rogue Destruction Warlock Affliction Warlock

      Amirdrassil has been added to the Dragon Isles and world map as a proper zone in Patch 10.2.5.
      Currently on live servers you must defeat Fyrakk to see Amirdrassil without having to visit the Emerald Dream. However, the zone will be available to everyone regardless of whether or not you've downed Fyrakk in Patch 10.2.5.
      Here is the updated world map in Patch 10.2.5.

      As you can see, the Dragon Isles outline now includes Amirdrassil.

      The Dragon Isles continent map has also been updated to include Amirdrassil.

      Finally, here's the new zone map. It's basically the central portion of the Emerald Dream map. Emerald Dream's still accessible through the Ancient Bough portal.

      Here's a detailed preview of Bel'ameth, the new Night Elf capital coming in Patch 10.2.5.
      Obviously, this week's 10.2.5 PTR build only brought the very first unfinished iteration of the Night Elf city, but we can already see some familiar names of NPCs from Teldrassil.
      You can watch MrGM's latest video to explore the new city in more detail.

      Catalyst charges will be granted weekly in Patch 10.2.5. Currently, on live servers, you gain 1 charge every two weeks.
      Blizzard is increasing the frequency at which you gain Renascent charges in Patch 10.2.5. You will receive 1 charge automatically every week instead of every two weeks.
      (Source)
      REVIVAL CATALYST Renascent Dream charges are now granted weekly (was every other week).
