I'd really like to see another overhaul to the reagent storage system.
While I appreciate the reagent bag slot, it is simply not enough now that we have three ranks of nearly every profession reagent. Let alone keeping reagents for prior expansions, keeping the vendor sold items like flour or water for cooking, or all the protoform synthesis reagents for those still trying to get the mounts.
I don't want to diminish the value that the game places on storage however I believe it's time for an unlimited (or massively increased) reagent storage that is shared across your entire account. I'd like to see a better way to manage reagents from different expansions without using an addon.
I accept bank alts guilds can be a viable interim, however it's clearly not what guilds were intended to be.
Given that Dragonflight is the expansion that pushes professions to the forefront of gameplay, it's not unreasonable to ask for some love for the systems that they depend on.

I didn't play a lot of Shadowlands, coming back as both a mount and pet collector, this feature is very much something I'd like to invest some time into.
I have looked at a few wowhead guides and comments and so far I know.
You need a certain node on the little robot guy to access Protoform Synthesis. Pets are unlocked about halfway through the Zereth Mortis campaign, and mounts at the end. (please correct me if I'm wrong).
A few questions I have about the process that I haven't seen in the posts.
How long will the campaign take on a relatively well geared 70?
Is anything still gated? Either by, time, reputation, or materials.
Most drops are listed as "uncommon" how frequently do they drop?

Hello, i am trying to unlock protoform synthesis and want to level an ult. I have my main character finished with dragonflight leveling and didont want to waste time withought leveling on my main. I was wondering if can start adventure mode at level 60 and level in shadowlands and zereth mortis from 60-70.

So, I'm going back to Zereth Mortis to get the protoform synthesis mounts (I stopped playing during Korthia, and came back for Dragonflight), and I heard there was a skip of the first 3 chapters for alts. But it's not working. I've finished the Zereth Mortis campaign on my main (I've unlocked flying, at least), so I know I've done it before. But Tal-Inara doesn't have the skip option on my alt. Did they remove the skip or something? Everything I read was that all you had to do was finish the first three chapters on a main to unlock the skip, but that's clearly not the case. Did I miss something?

Pre-patch is next week, and I'm I'm trying to determine what is useful and useless for next expac as my pouches getting bloated. Here's what I have (excluding toys, transmogs, etc).
Useless

• any gear (most of my alts already higher than base gear starting DF for quests)
• protoform synthesis (I don't usually collect pets, and I got the mounts I needed from ZM)
• potions (I think they all reset to higher stats in DF?)
• currencies like sandworn relic or items like infused ruby once I use them up for transmog or toys or mounts, etc.

Useful

• Stylish black parasol I got from Teotar
• Eternal augment rune (may still be good for a while, I don't know)

Not useful, but fun

• toys

​
Anything I'm missing?
Edit: added a not useful, but fun category

Hi.. so i just unlocked the servitor interface to craft protoform mounts, and i have the raptora lattice already, but it doesnt appear on the crafting list. so how do i craft the raptora mount? do i need to uprgade the crafter?

I am farming mats for Protoform Synthesis mounts, focusing on Eternal Ragepearls at the moment. I have had one drop but for the life of me I can’t get another (one for the Raptor and one for the Spiteflyer)
As it’s listed as Unique (2) I assume that this means I can hold two at a single time, is this assumption correct?

How many kills did it take u to get this?
I didn't keep track but I think I am close to 100 kills now..
I do have protoform synthesis unlocked and also sopranian understanding unlocked, so i wonder if i am missing some critical requirement.

Are finding the patterns required? Its strange because when I went to the pet forge, it showed all the pets that could be made.
Dumb question I know but I had to ask. I am currently farming the patterns right now just in case.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
​
I hope you are well. I was just wondering if it would be realistic to hope that the cyphers of the first ones currency might be used to buy more items in the future? I have been not having any luck with olean caches, so have just been saving them up. I have been hoping for protoform synthesis items to be purchasable with cyphers (even if they cost a lot each!).
​
What do you think? Have there been patterns like this in the past? I had a huge break between MoP and SL, so I'm not sure if I should wait and hang on to these cyphers.
​
Thanks!

Creation catalyst uses around 1k flux PER WEEK
I have 80,000 of this stupid currency, please put a vendor in or something. Let me convert it to genesis motes or the other crafting items for protoform synthesis

They wouldnt tell me how but they said you could

Since the expansion will be wrapped up, and we will just be in waiting mode, I would love it if they made some quality of life changes. Hit me with your feedback!
​
Covenant Changes:

• Changing Covenant can be done from any rested location, and will default to the last used soul bind.
• Changing covenants now only changes your soul bind/powers. All other aspects are available at the same time. (Teleports, mission boards etc)
• Callings can be picked up directly from the Covenant screen, and turn in automatically upon completion.
• All Covenant buildings build time removed, costs dropped by 75%. (No more soul shortage)
• Freed Souls Removed from the game, all souls you click in the maw/torghast now grant you a diminishing amount of anima per click. (goes back up when you don't do it for a while).
• Grateful Offerings removed from the game. Anima given for any you already had.
• Reserve Anima now tied to your character, and can be used openly for any Covenant. Can now right click to "gain" it.
• All Timers for Covenant activities cut in half. (Missions, seeds, etc)
• Follower experience from missions increased by 5 times. Costs for missions and healing halved.
• Followers unlocked for Covenants even if you are not "currently" active with that faction.
• New item added to grant experience to followers 10,000 xp to follower for purchase with anima.

​
Zone Changes:

• Cypher of the First Ones progress is now account bound. (or just remove the cost associated as well as the time like it is now)
• All Materials of the protoform synthesis can be "deposited" into the crafting "computers?" and both mounts and pets can be created at either location. All patterns account bound.
• Also add this process for the Tinker in Gnomeland.
• Flying added to the Oribos/Maw/korthia. Middle ring mounting is allowed. Tied to story completion + exploration for each location.
• Daily Quests in Zereth Mortis turned into world quests, and reward rep.
• All Torghast Wings open at all times.
• Covenant Assault + World Quests criteria cut in half. Ex: Kill 10 = Kill 5
• All world quests show all steps up front instead of just the first "phase"
• All world quests equalized to "drop" the same Ilvl gear in season 4. Zereth + Shadowlands.
• All world quest grant three times more rep, and now gives rep to all Shadowlands reps. (Upon completion of the unity quest chain)

​
Crafting Changes:

• All Legendary Crafting upgraded to the highest level piece. Experience shared. ex: Rank 4 bracers now unlocks rank 4 hats.
• Soul Cinders requirement removed, and converted to soul ash.
• All Crafting Requirements cut by 50% for all patterns.
• All Legendary Powers available to be purchased for anima at each Covenant base, and also at a vendor next to the shade of the primus.

​
Raiding and Mythic Plus Changes:

• Domination Socket gear replaced with tier tokens in the raid for season 4 on four bosses
• Mythic Plus keys removed. Your group can start a key when ever they want to. Gear "suggestions" added to each key level in the dungeon. Only the seasonal dungeons get you points towards the Achievements.
• Teleports given to your account (by achievement) for completing each raid in season 4 with the affix on heroic difficulty. Takes you directly to the entrance of the raid.

​
Let me know what you think!

Using the Wowhead DB you can search for items with specific filters. Does anybody know how I search for a specific category (I think you would refer to it as Category, if people can let me know what this is referred to in the in-game tooltip it would also be helpful)? I.e. Scarabid Lattice has 'Protoform Synthesis' appear on the second line when I mouse over.
If I search for 'lattice' it will return the various lattices, with 'Protoform Synthesis' also appearing in the name column, alongside the actual name. Neither the effect nor flavour text filters are the correct ones. Is there a filter that applies to this attribute?

Haven’t seen too much about it on here so I wanted to give the system a shoutout. Aside from the Enlightened rep grind, protoform makes up the majority of what outdoor Zereth Mortis offers, and has managed to keep me engaged with the world — and not because it’s required for player power!
Sure, the system has its flaws. Things cost way too many genesis motes to make, some of the drop chances for things are way too low, some people may not dig the cosmic/robotic aesthetic of the mounts and pets. I get all that.
But this is a system, easily the most substantive one of the zone, that has absolutely nothing to do with player power, offers a ton of cool collectibles, and genuinely engages the player.
Schematics are acquired in many different ways - lying around the world, mob drops, puzzles, in chests, from achievements, and more, granting the system variety. If you want a mount or pet, you have to kill its corresponding mob type to get the lattice - you get to target what you’re after. The rare pieces, too, have many different sources, from bosses and trash in the raid to open-world rares to mob drops to chests to vendors; you even get one just from eating while you’re in the raid. This variety is so much better than, say, Korthia’s “keep killing the bosses and you may get a mount eventually”.
Huge step in the right direction for zone collectibles! If I’m being honest I enjoy this far more than Mechagon Tinkering (though that may just be because of the quantity of mounts on offer). I hope to see similar systems in the future!

Hey, so I am trying to use the locus shift (transportation device from chap. 6 in the campaign) for some of the mounts from protoform Synthesis. Even tho I have completed the campaign it doesnt let me travel, it only shows this gibberish text. Does any1 know why?

Thanks in advance, tried to google but couldnt find results.
