What to Do Before the War Within Launch (Comprehensive Guide)

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.

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.

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.

With the release of the pre-patch, Cutting Edge: Fyrakk the Blazing achievement will no longer be attainable.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 from the Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season Four is going away at launch.

When you complete this season's dungeons at Keystone Level 10 or higher, you will receive a dungeon teleport. However, these are going away with the pre-patch.

When the new expansion goes live, you will no longer be able to buy Jigglesworth, Sr. from Kirioszin for 3 bullions.

Fated Raids will no longer exist, and the Voyaging Wilderling's Harness mount from the Awakening the Dragonflight Raids achievement.

The Awakened Hero title from Heroic: Awakening the Dragonflight Raids will no longer be attainable.

Path of the Primal Prison, Path of the Bitter Legacy and Path of the Scorching Dream earned from Mythic: Awakening the Dragonflight Raids will be removed.
