It’s nice and all that you can use the Revival Catalyst again to create set pieces for DF Season 1, but without Mythic+ dropping appropriate gear to transform, how are you even supposed to get the LFR and Mythic appearances?
Do the actual raids which literally nobody does (especially for LFR) and even if they did, you need one specific drop from one specific boss and to compete with everyone else in your armor class for it? Sounds excessive.
I believe Primal-Infused Gear from Primal Storms is catalizable to VOTI LFR gear. At least it was during 10.0.5. Not sure about now, because it needed valor to upgrade but currently there is no valor.
The raid is no more actual one unfortunately, all the current players are in Aberrus. So the ways are:
arrange some tmogs runs with your friends/guildies
create group in Group Finder for it, but be prepared to wait 3-4 hours until you will have at least 10 people
wait couple of years when it will be soloable
Quite the opposite, people still do LFR, and literally 0 pugs in Group Finder. I do LFR every week for Raz mount. Yeah, the queue is about 2-3 hours usually for DPS, but still achievable. For healers and tanks could be much faster.
You can only get the normal and heroic appearances with the primal storm gear. Otherwise getting lfr and mythic without doing the raid isn’t possible I think unless you had season one m+ gear lying around in waiting.
At least for the current tier you can get the LFR set pretty easily with time rift tokens and the catalyst. Then you can upgrade those to normal to unlock that set.
But, heroic and mythic are better acquired when it’s current. Otherwise you have to wait 4 years until you can solo the raids.
But, yes i have gone through a lot of pain to get the LFR set on my monk for season 1.
To give you some hope though. It is likely they will bring back all raids in season 4 with updated ilvl rewards. and it will cycle between every raid every week. Better than nothing.
No, that gives you normal, and its upgraded version gives you heroic, unfortunately.
Not really viable until legacy loot becomes a thing.
Ok, maybe if the final boss drops a mount, I guess people join for that.
Idk if that helps. With Shadowland Season 4, the catalyst simply gave you the current (Sepulcher) transmog, no matter which raid the actual drop was from.
