The Eve of the Dragon Age pre-patch event will go live on November 17, 2022, and it revolves around fighting off elemental invasions and harvesting "primal essence" from empowered creatures in the four main regions of Azeroth. Players can turn in currency to purchase item level 252 chase gear, a toy, and a 20-slot reagent pouch. Elemental bosses drop shards that you can combine into heirloom charms. Completing the Eve event rewards the Opposing Elements achievement. During the pre-event, you'll also be able to queue for the level 60 version of the "Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr" dungeon.
Only level 10 and above can participate in the event, and you can use elemental invasion to level up. The initial quest will automatically pop up in your quest log. If you haven't unlocked flight, you'll receive a bronze drake to aid you in your quest.
After completing the first few introductory missions in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, you'll complete the following missions, which are rewarding and worth completing.
Tyr's Legacy: Secrets of the Past - To complete the quest, you must reach level 60 and retrieve Tyr's Memory Disk from Uldaman in the Badlands. This quest rewards an item level 278 weapon.
Primal Threat - The quest from Khadgar rewards 30 Primal Essence and the Primal Storm Primal Storm Elf pet.
Elemental forces periodically invade four locations for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Elemental Invasions will appear on the following maps:
Earth Elemental Invasion will occur in the Northern Barrens
Fire Elemental Invasion will occur in Tirisfal Glades
Storm Elemental Invasion will take place in Un'Goro Crater
The Water Elemental Invasion will take place in the Badlands
Areas currently under attack will be marked with icons on the world map.
When you open an area map with an elemental invasion, you'll notice that there are areas under attack and areas marked with skeletons. This is where BOSS and mobs refresh.
Each elemental invasion consists of two phases. In the first stage, players must defeat elemental creatures to reduce the elemental protection progress bar to 0. This is an area-wide invasion mission, and you only need to be in the area to earn points. Invasion bosses are invulnerable during this phase.
When the Invasion Boss becomes attackable, the second phase of the Elemental Invasion begins. You must defeat the unleashed elementals to complete the stage and clear the area of the invasion.
Invasion Bosses have a chance to drop 20-30 original essences, and the pursuit equipment that changes with the level changes. The first kill will get the task items of the Storm Seal, you need 60 original essences, and combine four element fragments into Heirloom jewelry.
