Showing you how to get catch-up gear and limited time collectibles in the SL prepatch event! The Scourge Invasion pre-patch event for Shadowlands is now live on NA and EU servers, and it’ll last until the Shadowlands Global Release on November 23/24. During this two week pre patch event, you can get catch-up gear from three different sources as well as a collectible battle pet and the Argent Conscript appearance set. The Argent Conscript set is essentially the Arathi Warfront armor but presented in the BfA Season 1 Gladiator colours, and some of the pieces are new to this event. Some are shared with existing sets, so you may know some appearances already.
Addons such as Rarescanner and Handynotes can help you see where on the map various rares will spawn- although with the default UI, spawning rares will be marked with a purple skull so an addon is not needed unless you’re waiting for a specific Icecrown rare boss. The Handynotes plugin shown in the video can be found here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes-scourge-invasion-of-shadowlands
There’s also a zombie invasion rumoured to be a part of the prepatch event, but I’ve seen no evidence yet that it’ll include any additional catch-up gear or collectibles and when it might start is unclear.

Hey, great video! I whould love to know what's the Addon that shows you the items you have already collected in vendor! I like the way it shows! Keep it going you do a really good content!
Horrible event and good luck to anyone that plays a class with two weapons…
Shittiest prepatch ever! Catch up gear is complete trash and is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to slow to acquire
Am I behind if I start today? I had work all week and couldn’t play
Are you able to send the catchup gear to other characters through Mail?
Not thrilled with pre-patch. Nathanos has dropped a sword for my lock. My priest did get a decent staff. The rares have not dropped anything for me and most others on my realm have not seen anything. It is satisfying to take down Nathanos on all my alts. Use care near him, even far far away you can get 2-shot, I mean far away. I was on the other side of the hill behind the house.
worst prepatch ever
This is literally the worst pre-patch event ever devised by any game ever. "Hey guys! Let's fight rare mobs every 20 minutes in a set path that has god awful drop rates for anything." Woo blizz, really know how to make a game unfun.
You forgot the blue proto drake and the new accursed keepsake
I use Rare Scanner add on which tells you which rare is next to spawn has all their locations on the map and a countdown to when they'll be spawning, which is very handy.
Take a shot of vodka every time Hazel says KATCHup. Do it for Nathan!
Boss' rotate at 02, 22, and 42 minutes after the hour. They physically spawn in at 1 minute before that time and it take 2 minutes with a slight delay so you really don't start attacking until around 04, 24, or 44 minutes.
Takes SO long to just have enough currencies for just one item -.-
i love your UI so clean
It's not "approximately" every 20 minutes btw, it's precisely every 20 minutes from when the last one went live, on a 6h40m loop. On the server I was on it was at x:03, x:23, x:43 in minutes past each hour. I was online for that whole loop the day after prepatch came out, doubt I'll have the motivation to do the whole loop again but I did get the 34 slot bag out of it.
Hazel always makes the most clear and concise guides to WoW events of anyone I've come across. I know it can take a lot to learn everything about an event and then reexplain it in a way that makes sense so thank you for doing this so we don't have to! With that said this seems like a total waste of a pre-patch. Blizz could've dropped this event when the initial release date was supposed to hit and added a mount or something to make it more intriguing for people.
Hey Hazel! I want to mention that all of the rares have a chance to drop an Accursed Keepsake, similar to the Haunted Memento, it is a unique item that can be sold on the AH. May be worth farming for if people like this sort of thing.
I spend all day in icecrown , farming the rares. My main goal was to optimize my ui and try add-ons. I am still not done. I bought all the gear for transmog….
Natanos lol
nat-thanos ain't dead. He gonna come back and kick our butts in the Maw lol
You named it after me 😁😂😂😂
This event is absolutely terrible. BFA was 10000% alt UN-friendly and now I have 6 alts to catch up with a boring as FUCK grind every 20 mins for a 10% chance drop rate and absolutely nothing to do in between. Legions Pre patch event was worlds better. You constantly had to fly to a new location and kill mobs with gear drop rate being 90% amazing XP given and gear at the same time. Best catch up ive ever seen no waiting required but with this you are screwed. No xp so no leveling alts. Gear is a hope not a promise and the wait time is an AFK simulator. Thank you Obama i mean Blizzard
Thank You – Did not know about Natharnos. Nice shiny new Bow for me…
The item level 115 weapon from Nathanos is a definite upgrade over all of my characters' previous weapons.
its more then a min grey peroid its more like 2.5 min maybe 3 min
man… probably one of the worst pre-patch events to date 🙁
I hit Nathanos almost right away with my bm Hunter and got a survival weapon. Should have waited a bit
Hazel you should use rarescanner. Has timers, loot table even points you to next rare
RareScanner addon to get locations and times for bosses.
Just got the 34 slot bag! Lucky drop for my fresh 50, she had been using 14 slots so it's definitely an upgrade for her! XD
Unfortunately, the let is BoP so no hoarding it in the bank to sell in the future
I started the event on Saturday, did the quest line and after that got my first Rare and the bag dropped. Today Sunday I played most of the day and with the rare scanner addon I started the hunt. Got many pieces of armor and 3 weapons. After my dailes reset did the quest and continued with the Rare hunt, by 5pm I was able to buy the full armor set and the pet. Tomorrow after work I want to hunt few more Rares to get that Broom item. Then the week of Shadowland release I will be on vacation ! Game ON ! Good luck to everyone during this Pre-release event !
That was a great concise overview. I wish I found this earlier.
The preevent is such a failure in my Eyes…they advertised that u can get infected, turn into a ghoul and attack other players and turn them into Ghouls too but no….blizzard are a bunch of lazy farts again xD
Yup the gear is shit in a couple of weeks anyway. So who the fuqq cares…
does it give you a weap and a shield if you are a tank?
Do someone knows if nathanos drops a shield for tanks too ? Or is it just one handed?
The time between when each rare spawns and when it's attackable is two minutes, not one, so there's plenty of time to get there from anywhere in the zone once the yell appears in your chat. The gear drops are inconsistent. On the first day I got 11 items across 5 characters (not counting weapons from Nathanos), and the next day I killed about 25 rares and got a ring for my trouble. Your mileage may vary. In any case, we'll all be back in leveling greens in 2 weeks regardless.
I get this bag at first try 😀

This was such a nice listen on my commute to work 😀 Thank you !
The Icecrown rares were spawning every 10 minutes yesterday and I picked up 6-7 lvl 110 items including, trinkets, rings, a helm and several weapons.
Still no loot if you are dead at the time of Nathanos Death. Additionally, if you are a ghoul there is no loot.
