World of Warcraft Reveals Dragonflight Pre-Patch Event and Rewards

gamerant.com:

World of Warcraft recently debuted the Dragonflight Pre-Patch event on its Public Test Realm. Though the event was buggy and only lasted a few hours, it gave World of Warcraft players a look at what they can expect when it goes live within the next month.

The Dragonflight Pre-Patch event is called Primal Storms, and involves armies of Primalist mobs and elementals attacking specific zones. Mobs associated with Earth attack the Northern Barrens, Fire invasions appear in Tirisfal Glades, Storm attacks in Un’Goro Crater, and Water invasions happen in the Badlands. Every 30 minutes, an elemental lord appears, but can’t be attacked until 100 Primalist mobs are killed. Doing so removes its shield so players can slay the lord for event currency and sweet loot.

World of Warcraft Allowing Cross-Faction Mob Tagging in Dragonflight

Players can collect Primeval Essence from participating in the vent. This special currency is used to purchase special event items, including item level catch-up gear using recolored designs from some of Dragonflight’s armor sets. Players can also get the Bag of Furious Winds toy which sucks up nearby critters, or the Unstable Elemental Confluence Heirloom trinket for alts. Players can exchange Primeval Essences with Storm Hunter William by the Boralus docks in Stormwind, or with Storm Huntress Suhrakka by the zeppelin tower in Bladefist Bay in Durotar. Defeating all four elemental lords earns players the Against the Elements Feat of Strength achievement.

World of Warcraft has yet to release a formal start date for the Dragonflight Pre-Patch Event. However, with Shadowlands Season 4 ending on October 25, and Dragonflight releasing on November 28, it is safe to assume the Pre-Patch will bridge the gap between
