- Upon completing the Patch 9.2 campaign, you will be rewarded with your item level 265 legendary class belt below that can be worn in unison with a legendary of your choice, meaning that your second legendary ability will always be the Covenant legendary ability.
- Getting exalted with The Enlightened reputation will allow you to purchase Memory of Unity, which is an account-wide unlock that let's you craft your Covenant legendary ability on any slot and wear it with a second legendary instead of on the 265 belt rewarded previously.

Return of Tier Sets
Patch 9.2 brings back class-themed tier sets, each with unique 2 and 4 piece bonuses.
Create Tier Pieces with the Creation Catalyst
Patch 9.2 is also allowing a failsafe for players when it comes to pain points tier sets brought in terms of getting higher item level gear for slots occupied by tier. Starting 8 weeks after launch, players will be able to take high item level pieces of gear and essentially transform them into tier pieces. *Note - Tier sets are also possible rewards from every area in the great vault, including Mythic+ and PvP.
- You can transform most head, shoulder, chest, pants, or glove pieces gained during season 3 except Zereth Mortis outdoor gear rewards. PvP gear and Mythic + gear are all useable as well as raid gear.
- This system replaces the piece of gear with the tier piece equivalent of the same item level. This includes switching the stats to the tier piece as well.
- It utilizes the new Cosmic Flux currency and will have an internal cooldown and gain charges as to not allow creating too many at once.
