WoW Patch 12.1 Prep Week - Curse of Ula'tek Chapter 1 and Omnium Folio Week 4 Now Live

World of Warcraft players have two important prep tasks this week: Chapter 1 of the upcoming Curse of Ula'tek campaign is now available, and Week 4 of the Omnium Folio has unlocked with a larger character power reward.

This is a good week to log in even if you are waiting for Patch 12.1. The campaign chapter gives collectible rewards and may be required for future Patch 12.1 access, while the Omnium Folio quest adds a new secondary stat Rune that scales with your gear.

Key Takeaways

Curse of Ula'tek Chapter 1 is now live early during Patch 12.0.7.

The chapter is called Legacy of the Amani and starts with Hagar's Invitation.

Campaign rewards include the Dusk Grimlynx mount and Akiki pet.

Omnium Folio Week 4 is also available through Seeking Knowledge Week 4 of 5: Magical Primessence.

Week 4 is a bigger power week because the reward is a secondary stat Rune instead of a flat damage-style effect.

Curse of Ula'tek Chapter 1 Is Now Live

The first chapter of the Curse of Ula'tek campaign is available ahead of Patch 12.1. The chapter is titled Legacy of the Amani and starts with Hagar's Invitation.

The quest begins in the center of Silvermoon City. Wowhead lists the starting coordinates as:

/way #2393 45.45 70.26

This chapter is part of the lead-in to Patch 12.1 and includes two new campaign cutscenes. If you care about story progression, collectibles, or being ready for Season 2 systems, this is worth completing now rather than leaving it for patch week.

Curse of Ula'tek Chapter 1 Rewards

The Dusk Grimlynx is the main collectible reward from the early part of the chain, while Akiki comes from finishing the full chapter. For collectors, this makes the campaign immediately valuable even before Patch 12.1 launches in full.

Why You Should Complete the Campaign Now

On the PTR, players need to complete Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 to unlock the new Coiled Isle zone. That matters because the Coiled Isle is tied to several major Patch 12.1 features, including new zone activities, the Venomous Abyss raid, a new dungeon, and the new Delve boss.

This requirement could still be adjusted before the final live version, but the safest move is simple: complete Chapter 1 now. It gives you the mount, the pet, the story setup, and one less prerequisite to worry about later.

Omnium Folio Week 4 Is Now Available

The second big update this week is Week 4 of the Omnium Folio. The new quest is Seeking Knowledge Week 4 of 5: Magical Primessence.

The quest asks players to collect a Primessence of Magic from a final dungeon or Delve boss, or from any Raid Finder wing boss. This makes it a fairly quick weekly task if you choose the fastest content available to your character.

Why Week 4 Is a Big Power Week

Week 4 is more important than the earlier Folio unlocks because this reward is not just a flat effect. Players choose one of four Rune traits that grant a secondary stat when the Core Rune activates. Since secondary stats scale with your gear, this unlock can become more valuable as your item level rises.
