Dragonflight: how to complete Reviving the Machine quest?

With the release of World of Warcraft Dragonflight Patch 10.0.5, players have been introduced to an exciting new feature—the Revival Catalyst, a system that allows you to transform gear pieces from all sources (except crafted gear) into set items. This is a fantastic way to acquire the powerful bonuses provided by set gear. But before you can start using the Revival Catalyst, you need to complete the quest called Reviving the Machine.

In this guide, we'll walk you through all the necessary steps to complete this quest and unlock the Revival Catalyst!

Step 1: Speak to Koranos in Valdrakken

The quest begins with a conversation with Koranos, a key NPC located at the top of Valdrakken, the capital of the Dragon Isles. If you haven't unlocked this area yet, you'll need to complete earlier quests in the zone to gain access. Koranos is an essential character in the storyline and will guide you through unlocking the Revival Catalyst system.

Once you find Koranos at the top of Valdrakken, speak with him to receive the quest Reviving the Machine. He'll inform you that you need to find Antuka and the Revival Catalyst.

Pro Tip: If you are in the middle of the Legacy Tyr questline, Koranos may be in a different location. If that's the case, complete the Legacy Tyr quest first, then return to Koranos to continue with Reviving the Machine.

Step 2: Locate the Revival Catalyst and Antuka

After speaking with Koranos, you’ll need to head to Tyrhold, which is located in the Thaldraszus zone. Tyrhold is an important location in Dragonflight's lore, and it’s where you will find both the Revival Catalyst and Antuka.

To find the Revival Catalyst:

  1. Travel to Tyrhold.
  2. Look for an entrance to a cave or passage on the mountain slightly to the north of Tyrhold.
  3. Once you locate this entrance, proceed inside the cave.

Inside, you will find Antuka standing next to the Revival Catalyst. The Catalyst itself is a large, dark console, and Antuka will be standing nearby, ready to explain how the system works.

Step 3: Complete the Quest to Unlock the Catalyst

Once you’ve spoken to Antuka and found the Catalyst, you’ll be tasked with completing a series of objectives to unlock the full potential of the Revival Catalyst.

The main objective here is to gather progress toward unlocking the Revival Catalyst. There are multiple ways to do this, but not all activities will count toward your progress. Some key activities that will help you advance the quest include:

  • Elite World Quests: Completing blue elite world quests will provide significant progress—around 20% per quest.
  • Normal World Quests: These will also contribute to your progress but at a slower rate than elite world quests.
  • Dungeon Runs: While you can do dungeons, Timewalking dungeons do not count toward progress for the quest, so make sure you’re focusing on the right content.

It’s worth noting that this part of the questline requires you to complete a certain amount of these activities. Be sure to check your progress in the quest log to track how close you are to unlocking the Catalyst.

Step 4: Completing the Quest and Using the Revival Catalyst

Once you've completed the necessary activities and made sufficient progress, the Reviving the Machine quest will conclude, and the Revival Catalyst will be unlocked. You’ll be able to use it to convert various pieces of gear (except for crafted items) into set items, giving you a powerful boost to your character’s capabilities.

Final Thoughts

The Reviving the Machine quest and the Revival Catalyst system are great additions to WoW Dragonflight Patch 10.0.5. By completing this quest, you gain access to a convenient way to farm set gear without needing to rely solely on raid or dungeon drops.

Remember, the key to unlocking the Catalyst is progressing through the blue elite world quests and other activities, so focus on those for faster completion. Once you have the Catalyst unlocked, you’ll have more ways to fine-tune your gear and build your character.

Happy adventuring, and enjoy making your character even more powerful with the new set gear system!
