Patch 7.2 of WoW is just around the corner. The release is approaching. We will tell you what you should still complete in order to really take off.
The second “big” update of World of Warcraft: Legion is coming soon, and players are increasingly preparing for Patch 7.2. But what should you best complete now and what can you take your time with?
The colleagues at wowhead have put together a list of all the important things you should tick off before the patch arrives in the coming weeks. We have translated and highlighted the most important points.
Bored in WoW? Here’s how to ideally prepare for Patch 7.2
Pathfinder Achievement
With Patch 7.2, you can fly on the Broken Isles. However, only if you have already completed the “Pathfinder” achievement. The second part can only be completed after the patch, but the first part is already available now. The requirements for this are:
- Fully explore the Broken Isles
- Complete all main questlines of the Broken Isles
- Complete 100 different world quests
- Be respected by all factions on the isles
- Complete the class campaign

Bring all Artifact Weapons to Level 35
Soon, artifact weapons can be raised to a new level. New abilities will then be available – but only if you have already infused 35 levels of artifact power into the weapon. If you haven’t done that yet, you should catch up in the coming days.
Complete the Class Campaign
Completing the class campaign should have been mandatory for most players, as this is the only way to unlock the third relic slot of a weapon. In 7.2, completing the campaign is necessary to receive further quests for the order hall. Since some steps take several days, you should catch up now with all characters you want to start with.
Bring Artifact Knowledge to 25
The maximum artifact knowledge will be raised in Patch 7.2. Those who have already reached knowledge level 25 can initiate research up to level 40 much faster, thereby collecting more artifact power even more quickly.
Bring Factions to Revered
All factions of the Broken Isles receive new “Paragon Rewards” when you collect reputation beyond revered status. Therefore, it’s worth becoming revered now.
Save Crafting Materials
Crafters should spend their materials sparingly and even better, save them. With Patch 7.2, crafting professions can create legendary items that are only bound upon equipping – thus bringing in a considerable amount in the auction house. Especially Blood of Sargeras will become valuable again, as each item requires 65 Blood – along with many other materials.
Level Pets
For pet battles, 7.2 introduces the first “Pet-Battle-Dungeon”. To have a good chance of victory, interested players should have at least 20-25 pets at maximum level, as the journey into the Caves of Wailing will otherwise end prematurely.
In Patch 7.2, there are also new skins for the artifact weapons – but they are hard to obtain!
