Dragonflight Vault of the Incarnates Release Schedule & Achievements Announced

Author: Shadostruct
Date: December 8, 2022
Updated: December 8, 2022
Expansion: World of Warcraft

The first raid for Dragonflight, Vault of the Incarnates, is going to open the doors with the reset the week of Dec 12th. It appears that mythic difficulty is also going to be available from the first week – which is a slight deviation from what Blizzard has decided in the past. The following week is when you’re going to see the Looking for Raid option open up to players for the first wing of bosses (Eranog, Dathea, and The Primal Council).

Keep in mind that the reintroduction of tier gear seen in Shadowlands is going to be continuing in Dragonflight, and tier pieces will be available in Vault of the Incarnates. Normally tier pieces don’t become available until at least the second raid in an expansion, but Blizzard seems to be shaking things up and giving the players what they want straight from the get go!

The Primalists breached the Titan prison used to hold the Incarnates for millennia. Within, Raszageth performs a foul ritual to unleash her siblings so together they can purge the world of the Titans’ influence. The champions of Azeroth must assault this impregnable fortress and break their defenses to end this threat. While many could fall, defeat condemns all the realms to the Incarnates’ reign of fire and blood.

Raid bosses: 8
Difficulties: Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, Mythic

RAID UNLOCK SCHEDULE

Week of December 12—Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties.
Week of December 19—Raid Finder Wing 1: The Primal Bulwark (Eranog, Dathea Ascended, The Primal Council) becomes available.
Week of January 2—Raid Finder Wing 2: Caverns of Infusion (Kurog Grimtotem, Sennareth the Cold Breath, Terros) becomes available.
Week of January 16—Raid Finder Wing 3: Fury of the storm (Broodkeeper Diurna, Raszageth The Storm-Eater) becomes available.

**TERROS**

Primalists sought to pull Terros, an unyielding force of destruction, from the elemental plane. However, their ritual was interrupted. Trapped between two worlds, this hulking terror seeks to free himself and obliterate everything in his path.

The Primal Council — **THE PRIMAL COUNCIL**

These masters of the elements are ruthless in their pursuit of power. Embar Firepath is as merciless as the fire she commands. Opalfang wields the might of the earth to crush her enemies. Kadros Icewrath is cold and cruel, while his sibling Dathea Stormlash is as wild and unpredictable as a raging storm.

Sennarth, the Cold Breath — **SENNARTH, THE COLD BREATH**

Sennarth, Kurog Grimtotem’s most vicious creation, is a massive arachnid infused with the unforgiving cold. Her singular purpose is to guard her brood of thousands, awaiting the day they’ll hatch and enshroud Azeroth in a web of winter.

Dathea, Ascended — **DATHEA, ASCENDED**

Driven manic by her defeat, Dathea strikes a bargain with Raszageth to attain even greater power. Imbued with a fraction of the Incarnate’s strength, Dathea gains control of the wind itself and unleashes its ferocity to tear her enemies apart.

Kurog Grimtotem — **KUROG GRIMTOTEM**

Once a prized pupil of Magatha Grimtotem, this master of the primal elements is preparing to unleash his most devastating creations. If Kurog is not stopped, his entities of storm, fire, ice, and earth will wreak havoc across the whole of Azeroth.

**BROODKEEPER DIURNA**

Broodkeeper Diurna is the fierce Guardian of the Primalist Clutchwarren. She devotes her considerable strength to protect the unhatched and seeks vengeance for the one she lost.

Raszageth the Storm-Eater — **RASZAGETH THE STORM-EATER**

Raszageth devoutly believes that dragonkind was meant to be as wild and free as the storm itself. Should she succeed at freeing her fellow incarnates from their ancient prison, Raszageth and her kin will topple the aspects and scour the world clean of every trace of the Titans’ influence.
