New system and currency

When the patch hits live, you will unlock a new system and earn a new currency, called Cosmic Flux. 

Once players fully uncover the secrets of the First Ones, the Creation Catalyst will become available. 

By using the new currency together with an item, you can create a tier set piece. 

For example, you have the currency and you also have an item that you got from a dungeon or from PvP, then you can combine the currency and the item at the Forge of Creation and create a tier set. 

What type of armor can be transformed to tier set

The armor you transform can be obtained from PvP, Mythic+, or other new Eternity’s End content.

Has to be the same item level. 

For example: The Great Vault rewards an ilvl 265 non-set chest piece. Once the Creation Catalyst is unlocked and enough Cosmic Flux has been collected, this can be used to make an ilvl 265 Progenitor armor piece that activates the set bonus.

Set bonus

The set bonus will be similar to how it has been before in world of warcraft. Each set comes with powerful 2- and 4-piece set bonuses that complement your unique abilities. You also have the opportunity to swap bonuses in order to get certain playstyle rotations fresh and unique. 

How to craft Tier Sets

You will be able to craft a tier piece through the Cypher of the First Ones. 

You must unlock the Creation Catalyst in order to craft tier sets.

By using the new currency (Cosmic Flux) together with an item, you can create a tier set piece. 

The armor you transform can be obtained from PvP, Mythic+, or other new Eternity’s End content. Has to be the same item level.
