All Dragonflight raids are now Awakened, so it’s time to finish all of those reputations you’ve been neglecting

The launch of The War Within‘s pre-patch earlier this week officially signals that we’ve entered the final stretch of the Dragonflight expansion and to mark the occasion, all of the Dragon Isles raids are now Awakened! This also means their respective Signs — Awakened Storms, Awakened Embers, and Awakened Dreams — are active throughout the Dragon Isles, providing players a +50% reputation boost with each Dragonflight faction.

Since all raids are Awakened, each of the bosses in every raid mode (LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic) are now at their Season 4 difficulty level so they’re bit more dangerous and difficult to defeat but they also drop range of high level loot:

• LFR: ilvl 480-489
• Normal: ilvl 493-502
• Heroic: ilvl 506-515
• Mythic: ilvl 519-528

This also means that all of the Awakened loot you earn during this time can be upgraded to the Mythic track with the Antique Bronze Bullion which Blizzard has confirmed will continue dropping until The War Within launches. The Awakened raids will also coincide with the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event, which starts next week on July 30 and runs until August 26, so players will have no shortage of activities to choose from to gear up and prepare their characters for Khaz Algar next month.

If you’ve had your eye on a specific Renown reward but have been dreading the reputation grind, the implementation of the Warbands shared reputation system should help you along the way. Your Warband should now share the highest Renown level for each Dragonflight faction that was obtained by any one of your characters and with the activation of the Signs, grinding out reputation for the Dragon Isle’s should be a bit easier. Don’t forget, you can also visit the Forbidden Reach and speak to one of the faction envoys for the Dragonscale Expedition, Maruuk Centaur, Iskaara Tuskarr, or Valdrakken Accord to earn an extra 10% reputation boost with that faction. This reputation boost is a daily buff and clears at the daily reset, allowing you to choose the buff with another faction if you wish!

All of the Dragonflight raids will remain Awakened until The War Within releases on August 26 so players have about a month to finish any Awakened specific achievements and finish out any reputation tracks to claim their rewards!
