Dragonflight Patch 10.1 PTR - Fyrakk Assaults Early Preview
Today we are taking a quick peek at the early iteration of Fyrakk Assaults in the Dragon Isles on the Patch 10.1 Embers of Neltharion PTR. The content is still not fully implemented, so this is just a general idea of what to expect for now.


Fyraak Assault Basics

• A Fyrakk Assault appears in one of the original Dragon Isles zones once a day and lasts for 24 hours.
• Assault area turns red and ashy as it is invaded by Djaradin forces, Primalists, and Primal Drakes.
• There is a tiny hub in the assault area with member's of the zone's faction. 3 quests can be picked up here and completed for rewards and reputation.
• Killing enemies in the area can drop Ward of Igira.
  
  • Collecting 5 Ward of Igira lets you interact with Suffusion Crucibles in the area.
  • Suffusion Crucible summons a random set of elites that drop Ward of Fyraak.
• 5 Ward of Fyraak are needed to interact with a Suffusion Mold.
  
  • Suffusion Mold summons a named elite boss to kill.
    
    • Drops 1 Everburning Key per assault.
    • Also drops 5x Drake's Shadowflame Crest Fragment, which 15 can be combined to make a Drake's Shadowflame Crest, an item needed for upgrading gear.
• You need 3 Everburning Key to open the Secured Shipment cache in the assault.
• Killing the named elite is the only requirement to complete the world quest for the assault. Everything else is optional.
• The world quest rewards reputation with the zone's faction and gear.

Fyraak's Fury

• Fyraak Assaults also have a Fyrakk's Fury meter. Interfering with his forces in the assault area will slowly fill a bar.
• When the bar reaches 100%, Fyraak will slowly fly towards the Assault area, burning everything in his path in a similar way to Deathwing from Cataclysm's prepatch. He is marked on the map as he comes.
  
  • Getting killed by him awards the Still Standing in the Fire Achievement.
• When Fyraak reaches the Assault area, he will bombard the area with shadowflame before leaving.
• A Disciple of Fyraak raid boss proto drake will spawn and players must work together to kill it.
  
  • Drops 6x Drake's Shadowflame Crest Fragment, item level 405 catch-up gear (that can be upgraded), and a quest item that can be turned in at the assault hub for 1x Drake's Shadowflame Crest and 500 reputation with the zone's faction.

Dragonflight Patch 10.1 PTR - Zaralek Caverns Zone Preview
Today we are taking a first look at the underground zone of Zaralek Caverns coming in Patch 10.1 Embers of Neltharion.

• Aberrus - Northern area filled with lava. Neltharion's private lab and location of the raid.
• Loamm - Main hub of Drogbar and Niffen village in the middle of the zone.
• Zaqali Caldera - Djardin camp in the western section. Will dismount you if you fly over it for too long.
• Glimmerogg - Southern tip of the zone. Lots of florescent greens and waterfalls.
• Nal Ks'kol - Similar to Glimmerogg. A second hub of Drogbar and Niffen amongst the Glimmerogg aesthetic.
