Off to Zereth Mortis (9.2)

Patch 9.2 went live in Europe on 23rd February 2022 and after only a day I already loved it.  Many of the creatures have mechanical like features and they look really good.  The scenery looks great and there is loads to do.  The campaign follows the story of what happens next in our fight against the jailer.

The zone has many new pets, mounts, toys and achievements to collect.  There is also a new currency system, Cypher of the First Ones, which can give some benefits to help with exploration of the new zone.  However, if you do not want to collect this currency, there is no requirement to grind it in order to continue playing the game, get flying or access to raids, dungeons, tier sets or double legendary.  This additional content is optional. 

New mount Patient Bufonid

As part of the Cypher of the First Ones you get a small automa companion called Pocopoc.  He will follow you around and aid you as you explore Zereth Mortis.  Using the new cypher currency you can enhance Pocopoc's abilities so he can help you fight and search for treasures.  You are also able to customise your Pocopoc with new colours and accessories such as hats.  

One of the things you can learn using the cypher currency and the cypher research console is Protoform Synthesis.  This gives you access to the protoform synthesis forges and the ability to craft mounts and pets from the mats and recipes you collect from killing mobs and rares in Zereth Mortis or from treasures.

Enjoy exploring the new area, in only a few weeks if you keep up with the campaign everyone can get flying and then following that, double legendary.
