What to do before 10.2

Dragonflight patch 10.2 release is scheduled for this Fall. A new season 3 will kick off with this update, which means that a bunch of content will become inaccessible, as well as all the rewards for this content’s completion.

Join us as we explore things that will become unobtainable in the nearest future, and things that WoW players and collectors should hurry up with obtaining.

What to do before Season 3 in Dragonflight

Since a lot of content will be changed or removed with the release of this patch, the optimal course of action would be to focus on things that you can still obtain within the timeframe before release. Depending on how soon the release of the update is from the moment you are reading this guide, you might’ve missed out on the opportunity to complete some of the more time-intensive achievements, so it would be wise to switch to something that takes less time. Regardless, let's see what will be removed with the release of this update.

What will be removed in Patch 10.2?

Mythic Plus Dungeons

M+ is now one of the most challenging parts of World of Warcraft. It's all about clearing high-level keystones and farming powerful equipment. But as usual, there are 2 important achievements for hardcore players. They are:

• Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season Two (accumulate 2000 mythic rating during DF season 2);
• Dragonflight Keystone Hero: Season Two (accumulate 2500 mythic rating during DF season 2).

Since the dungeon pool will change in the next season, all of these achievements will become unobtainable.

Current Mythic+ dungeon achievements are:

Keystone master is the achievement that rewards players with Inferno Armoredon mount. Completing each dungeon on keystone level 20 within the time limit unlocks teleports to Season 2 dungeons. Grinding out the Mythic+ rating can take a long time and a lot of skill, so we suggest starting with this content as early as possible.

Keystone Master Season 2 reward: Inferno Armoredon mount

Raiding Achievements

As usual with the release of the new content patch, there will be some changes to the current raid tier. Even though we are sure that Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Hellforged will not become a 1% drop till the very end of Dragonflight, some of the most-wanted FoS achievements will become unobtainable. They include:

1. FoS Ahead of the Curve: Scalecommander Sarkareth.
2. FoS Cutting Edge: Scalecommander Sarkareth.

Since Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible raid will lose all of its player base only after the patch drops, there is still some time to chase those unique achievements that will be removed from the game. What’s great about them is the fact that you will also be getting some great gear in the process. But enough talking about PvE and let us jump straight into the bloody side of our favorite MMORPG – Player versus Player mode and see what will become unavailable with the release of 10.2.

PvP Achievements, Mounts, and the Elite Armor Set

As most of the Season Two elite PvP items, FoS, titles, and achievements will be removed from the game, now is the good time to get them. Just like M+ some of these can take weeks to complete, and the earlier you start, the more chances you will get to complete them in time! So what PvP achievements & items will be removed in 10.2? Here is the list of them for your convenience:

1. Elite PvP Gear - Season Two PvP Transmog set.
2. Vicious War Snail mount.
3. Obsidian Gladiator's Slitherdrake mount.
4. Legend: Dragonflight Season 2:
   • Obsidian Legend's Pennant.
5. Obsidian Gladiator Title.

Basically all the juiciest rewards from this PvP season will be discontinued and won’t be obtainable after the 10.2 patch goes live. Don’t miss out!
