How does it work? Is it connected to the item’s ilevel or its rank?
For example I want the Paladin Normal set, if my Champion gear goes above 424 will it give me the Heroic transmog?
Should I just get 424 Champion gear and do something else for 3 months until the Catalyst has enough charges? Or is it safe to upgrade Champion gear above 424?
Should work like it always did: Once you get an itlvl that is around the LFR itlvl, it will give u LFR color. Normal Itlvl, Normal Color, Heroic Itlvl, Heroic color, Mythic Itlvl, Mythic color

Thank you for sharing this, it’s exactly what I was looking for.
Great, nice to have this info in advance for a change.
Inaccurate.
All my PvP gear from Season 1 was at Duelist rating, which should have translated into Heroic appearances.
It only gave me normal appearances, regardless of ilvl.
If I have a 405 piece and mog it to RF, then upgrade it to 415, will it unlock the next mog?
Yes, it’s a nice way to unlock appearances.
nice one.
given I’m mostly a mog hunter, I approve of this!
When you say mog it to RF do you mean convert it in the catalyst? Because that’s what you’d need to do.
I may have misunderstood the intitial question.
For example
I have a 405 piece of suffused
I put it through the catalyst and get an rf piece.
Can I then continue to upgrade that rf piece and when it hits 415 (or whatever the threshold is, I forget off the top of my head) it will unlock the normal mog for that piece?
Ah. I was referring to PVE gear. If It Is like that for pvp Gear, golly blizz messed up there.
Yes with the catalyst you can do that. Convert it at the lowest level then keep upgrading it to the other levels to unlock the appearances.
Punyelf, the Fact-bringer.
Is that possible with the questing gear?
I’m mostly interested in the LFR and normal set so without having to farm those 2 difficulties I need to get some Zaralzk questing gear and convert it at ilvl 405?
So sill I be able to kzep upgrading the newly created tier piece?
I’m not sure what label the questing gear has, the list says Veteran or higher.
Hmm okay thanks!
Can confirm that Veteran level Questing/World Gear doesn’t convert. Even when levelled up from 402-405.
However Suffused Gear does convert
So source of gear matters, not just level. And that’s really annoying!
Champion gear you get from the “do 5 heroic dungeons” also doesn’t work.
Which is probably a good thing because that is maybe the stalest content ever. I was going to do it on my Warrior every week but I couldn’t be bothered and didn’t even do it once. Fortunately.
Kudos to Trillumsilver.
But i dont understand why Blizzard cant supply said table when they “activate” the catalyst.
Like this reset it got activated and we knew because they announced it when the patch 10.1 did hit.
But why not a blue post last weekend with:
“Players, the catalyt will open tuesday and wednesday and it functions like normal and here is a table with itemlevels needed for appearances”
Overall i do think they could communicate better about it. Its a minor thing but still.
And i would love to see the quest disappear to unlock a charge each week.
Not that it is such a big deal to finish, but it feels a bit arbitrary and useless.
Why the: do enough group content else no charge…
