How to Farm Cosmic Flux in Shadowlands (9.2.5)

Cosmic Flux is a Patch 9.2 currency used to empower equipment at the Creation Catalyst in Zereth Mortis or fuel the The Runecarver's Chamber in Torghast.

As of August 8, 2022, Cosmic Flux gains from PvP, Mythic+, and raids were buffed by 100% on live servers.

As mentioned above, you will need Cosmic Flux to upgrade Legendary items to Rank 7 and transform non-set pieces of equipment into Class Tier Set pieces in Patch 9.2. Upgrading an item to Rank 7 will take 2,000 Cosmic Flux, among other things, while utilizing the Creation Catalyst has a cost that varies with the slot being transformed.

You can learn more about the upgrading process in our guide below.

Due to its similar nature, the currency can be compared to Echoes of Ny'alotha from Battle for Azeroth.
