Used to convert gear items to a Vault of the Incarnates Tier piece of the same slot.

On how to gain Catalyst Charges, see Revival Catalyst. The currency is earned across all characters, and are spent individually. Meaning if you complete the weekly quest once, you can use one charge per character.

Gear that is eligible for the conversion:

Great Vault
Raids
PvP
Epic Gear from the Primal Storms
Epic Gear from War Mode
World Boss Drops

Each conversion costs a single Catalyst Charges.

While the most common usage of the Catalyst will be to convert Head, Shoulder, Chest, Legs, and Hands loot to Tier Pieces to gain the 2- and 4-set bonuses, you can also convert any other armor slots to a "tier item" from the raid. It will not have the set bonuses.

One per week. Blizzard STILL hates casuals.

This is awesome.

In BFA our guild was raiding mythic level, I quit for a few months, it's a lot harder to get back into it again. The guild is smaller and we mostly run mythic+ dungeons.

I wish I had known about this before though, would have likely influenced a vault selection last week.

But, that's a minor thing, knowing now to go after the highest rated mythic+ item that I can change into a 4 piece item really helps out!

Where are the Catalyst Charges located? How do I know how many I have?

Comment by glassleo

As of 10.1, this currency is now obsolete. Season 3 items use the new Renascent Dream currency instead (Season 2 used Renascent Shadowflame).

Season 1 and 2 items can now be freely converted without using any charges.

Quick script to check how many Season 3 charges your character has left:
/run local n=(C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2796).quantity or 0)print(string.format("You have %d Catalyst Charge%s Available",n,(n==1)and""or"s"))

This works anywhere in the world, without the need to go to the console.

Last week I went through the quest line and got my first piece of gear converted to tier. This week I''ve killed all the lfr bosses, the world boss, and one mythic dungeon. However, I still only have 0 charges? What am I missing?

Comment by alpanhell

You can use more than one of these on a character. I used two on one of my toons this week.

Kind of weird how these are earned though, I still don't understand it.

Comment by Toenail

i still can't figure this out. the script tells me that my main has 3 and an alt has 6? same faction, same server

Comment by Toxicus

If you have forgotten where the console is (as I did, due to spamming through levels) - The entrance to the Console is at 59.77, 53.71 in Thaldraszus

Comment by viRo369

Did they increase the cap from 6 -> 9 ?

Comment by Succendo

If you convert a PvP item, it retains the upgrade path and ilvl bonus in PvP. Useful if you want different stats!

Script to see your remaining charges:
/run local n=(C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2912).quantity or 0)print(string.format("You have %d Catalyst Charge%s Available",n,(n==1)and""or"s"))
