What to Do Before the War Within Launch (Comprehensive Guide)
The following guide covers rewards that will be permanently removed from the game when the War Within pre-patch and expansion will launch.
Harder to Get Items in the War Within Pre-Patch
All 3 Dragonflight raids will be Awakened at the same time until the expansion launches on August 26, making it harder to obtain the Renewed Proto-Drake: Embodiment of the Blazing, Renewed Proto-Drake: Embodiment of the Storm-Eater customizations.
What's Going Away in the War Within Pre-Patch?
When the War Within Pre-Patch arrives, select achievements, rewards, titles, and customizations will no longer be obtainable, so you will want to take some time to do them before it is too late. This mostly applies to Mythic+ and PvP, as the ongoing season will conclude on July 23/24.
Fyrakk Ahead of the Curve Mount
Renewed Proto-Drake: Embodiment of Shadowflame will continue to drop until Season 1 ends on Heroic Difficulty, but it is removed with the pre-patch.
Cutting Edge Fyrakk Achievement
With the release of the pre-patch, Cutting Edge: Fyrakk the Blazing achievement will no longer be attainable.
Draconic Hero Mythic+ Title
The Mythic+ leaderboards will lock at 10:00 pm PDT the night before maintenance in each region on July 22 at 10:00 pm PDT for NA and July 23 at 22:00 CEST for EU. With the season's end, ratings that qualify for the 0.1% Draconic Hero title and Draconic Hero: Dragonflight Season 4 achievement will be recorded. You will receive the title in the following weeks after the season ends.
Gladiator Mount
Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Draconic Gladiator, the Season 1 gladiator mount, will no longer be attainable. The mount's a full transformation for the Highland Drake.
PvP Achivements and Titles
The Draconic Legend: Dragonflight Season 4 rewarding the Draconic Legend title will be removed alongside Draconic Gladiator: Dragonflight Season 4 and the Draconic Gladiator title. The Combatant, Challenger, Rival, and Duelist titles will no longer be obtainable.
The War Within Season 1 PvP Elite Weapon and Transmog Sets
The Season 1 sets currently available for purchase for Mark of Honor in Valdrakken will be removed. You can buy Orboreal Distinguishment containing 5 Marks of Honor for 2,000 Honor from Seltherex in Valdrakken.
PvP Cosmetics
Draconic Gladiator's Prestigious Cloak from Legend: Dragonflight Season 4, Draconic Gladiator's Tabard and Draconic Legend's Pennant from Elite: Dragonflight Season 4 will be removed along with the Verdant Weapon Illusion.

The following rewards will be available during the War Within pre-patch but will be gone when the expansion goes live.
Infinite Armoredon (KSM Mount)
Infinite Armoredon from the Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season Four is going away at launch.

Slime Cat Mount
When the new expansion goes live, you will no longer be able to buy Jigglesworth, Sr. from Kirioszin for 3 bullions.
Here is what the mount looks like.
