With the Midnight pre-patch, players can unlock level 70 tier set bonuses earlier than expected by using the Revival Catalyst on Warbound gear.
This allows alts to gain powerful tier bonuses before the official launch of the expansion.

How Pre-Patch Tier Set Catalysts Work
During the Midnight pre-patch, players can use the Revival Catalyst to convert eligible Warbound gear into class tier pieces.
To qualify, the gear must be:
- Warbound
- Item level 121 or higher
Once converted, the item becomes a tier set piece corresponding to your class specialization, granting access to the associated tier bonuses.
Why This Matters for Alts
This system is especially valuable for leveling characters preparing for Midnight. By catalyzing gear early, players can enter the expansion with active tier set bonuses already unlocked.
It significantly improves leveling performance and early expansion gameplay.
What You Need to Know
- The feature becomes available during the Midnight pre-patch.
- Only gear meeting the item level requirement can be converted.
- The catalyst converts Warbound gear into your class tier set version.
If you have spare Warbound gear ready, the pre-patch offers an opportunity to strengthen your character before Midnight officially launches.
