Awakened Raids are increased difficulty of the Dragonflight raids during Dragonflight Season 4, with a selected raid being awakened for a week until the next daily reset. It was available from 23 April 2024 to 26 August 2024, the launch of The War Within.
Rotation
To find out when a raid is awakened during that week, refer to the Calendar for the world event which starts each Tuesday or refer to the icon in the 
Adventure Guide's Dragonflight raids section or the 
Raid Finder dropdown menu.
Awakened Raids will cycle on a weekly rotation until the launch of the The War Within pre-patch:[1]
Players in an Awakened raid or an Awakened world boss encounter will have the following buff:
Awakened Raid — You are in a Awakened Raid. Enemies have increased power.
Each raid will correspond to a server buff that increases reputation gain for certain reputations:
- Vault of the Incarnates:
[Sign of Awakened Storms] – Dragonscale Expedition, Maruuk Centaur, and Iskaara Tuskarr - Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible:
[Sign of Awakened Embers] – Loamm Niffen, Soridormi, and Sabellian/Wrathion - Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope:
[Sign of Awakened Dreams] – Dream Wardens and Valdrakken Accord
World bosses
Additionally, depending on which raid is awakened, the corresponding world bosses will also be awakened.
- Vault of the Incarnates
- Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible
- Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope
Progression
Item levels
With increased difficulty also means increased item level.
| Difficulty | ilvls |
|---|---|
| World boss | 499 |
| Raid Finder | 480/489 |
| Normal | 493/502 |
| Heroic | 506/515 |
| Mythic | 519/528 |
The 
[Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy] and 
[Fyr'alath the Dreamrender] can be upgraded with the 
[Scale of Awakening], upgrading the ilvl to 502 with an upgrade track for further upgrades with Awakened Crests and 
[Flightstones].
Raid vendors and upgrades
These raid vendors offer loot tables from their respective raids for 2x 
[Antique Bronze Bullion]. The loot unlocks as you defeat the raid bosses in the dungeon, and the item level depends on the highest difficulty the raid boss was defeated on.
- Iszy (Vault of the Incarnates)
- Iszinormi (visage form) (Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible)
- Iszinormi (dragon form) (Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope)
Each gear purchased with a bullion starts at item level 493 and start with an initial 1/12 upgrade track called "Awakened". It can be upgraded 11 more times, each time increasing the ilvl by 3 up to the maximum of 535 ilvl.
In addition to the bullion is the 
[Awakened Tempostone] that only drops from the end boss of each raid. Runaagos sells a new tier set for Dragonflight Season 4, costing one tempostone each piece of armor. The item level and upgrade for the tier set depends on the difficulty the stone was obtained from:
| Difficulty | Upgrade | ilvl |
|---|---|---|
| LFR | Veteran 3/8 | 486 |
| Normal | Champion 3/8 | 499 |
| Heroic | Hero 3/6 | 512 |
| Mythic | Myth 3/4 | 525 |
