Dreamsurge

The Dreamsurge is a recurring event in patch 10.1.7 Fury Incarnate that takes place every 30 minutes in one of the four original Dragonflight outdoor zones: Waking Shores, Ohn'ahran Plains, Azure Span, and Thaldraszus. The active zone rotates weekly.

The growth of a new World Tree is causing the energies of the Emerald Dream to manifest throughout the Dragon Isles. Defeat the chaos brought about by the Druids of the Flame. While active, all players in the zone are buffed with [Dreaming Winds], which grants +25% experience.

To start, find Hamuul Runetotem in Valdrakken, where he starts [70] Surging Dreams, the breadcrumb quest for the event.

Quests and votes

Once a week players can complete the wrapper quest [70W] Shaping the Dreamsurge to acquire a [Dreamsurge Chrysalis] that can be traded to Hamuul Runetotem for Champion 1 (ilvl 415) gear.

Players can also complete the one-time-only [70] Dreamsurge Investigation quest for a [Crate of Dreambound Armor] that contains a Veteran 1 (ilvl 402) armor token for any slot for the class that opens the container.

Shape the Dreamsurge voting interface

Every half-hour, players can vote with Naralex to choose which of two Dreamsurge buffs all players in the region will have active during the next Dreamsurge:

Dreamsurge Defenders — Periodically attract a Dreamsurge Defender, who will absorb one attack directed at you before returning to the Dream.
Dreamsurge Dreamfall — Damaging effects have a chance to summon a falling Dreamshard, dealing 50 Nature damage on impact. Approximately 2.2 procs per minute (10 sec cooldown)
Dreamsurge Greenwalker — Slip partially into the Emerald Dream, becoming harder to detect when not in combat and empowering your next attacks.
Dreamsurge Heartbloom — When damaged, has a chance to summon a Dreaming Heartbloom that periodically heals nearby allies. Approximately two procs per minute (10 sec cooldown)
Dreamsurge Helpers — Gain the company of an Emerald Helper who is eager to provide helpful services.
Dreamsurge Hibernation — Instead of dying, fall into a deep sleep that restores you. Cannot happen more than once every 60 sec.
Dreamsurge Learnings — Experience and reputation gains increased by 50%.
Dreamsurge Lone Wolves — Increases damage done, healing done, and movement speed by 25% and decreases damage taken by 25% while not near another player.
Dreamsurge Magpies — Increases gold gained from creatures and world quests by 100% and unlocks potential item drops from Waking Dreams.
Dreamsurge Overgrowth — Multiple Dreamsurge effects occur at once!
Dreamsurge Pack Hunters — Increases damage done, healing done, and movement speed by 5% for each player within 5 yds.
Dreamsurge Thorncloak — Gain a thorny shield that absorbs damage and damages attackers. It slowly replenishes over time.
Dreamsurge Wrathbloom — Increases nature damage done by 100%.
Dreamsurge Zephyrs — Increases movement speed by 50%.

Solo/small-group Waking Dream

A solo/small-group Waking Dream portal

Solo/small-group Waking Dream portals are found all over the active Dreamsurge zone, but are not marked on the zone map or minimap.

Interact with the portal to summon a few waves of mobs, then an Ashbound Captain elite. Defeat the elite for 10-25 [Dreamsurge Coalescence], a [Charred Elemental Remains], a [Drake's Shadowflame Crest Fragment], and maybe a Veteran 1 (ilvl 402) armor token.
