AP was bad because it didn't end. Remember patch 7.2? That was why it was bad. I get it if you have a genuine complaint but it's as if everybody has forgotten why they didn't like AP. AP wasn't bad until we had to do it forever, that's why it was called the AP grind. It wouldn't have been a grind if we capped it. So let's make sure Blizzard doesn't make renown infinite too.
So here is the "Hero of Shattrath" 2.0 I expected ? We will need a toon that grinded all 160 lvls + Gladiator for a reward before 10.0 right? :)
Awesome.You can get 2 levels a week through your weekly quests.If you leave your covenant, all your progress is saved forever. You have to start at 0 with your new covenant (unless you've played with them before), BUT you get fast catchup mechanics that let you grind all the way up to the current maximum.So technically after week 20, you can have all 4 covenants at 40 renown.This is way better than grinding to try to squeeze out an extra trait/soulbind. Everything comes at an easy pace from just playing the game. No pressure.As for Flying, there is still a Pathfinder. Instead of grinding Reps, you'll grind Renown. Later. When Pathfinder drops. So in a year and a half?
I'm not sure if it's an error in the datamining, or an error in the post, so I'll flag it just in case it's the latter. :)Renown 10 & 13 look wonky for Venthyr, repeats of Theotar row 3, where the other covenants get rows 4 & 5 for their respective buddies, further on renown 28 & 32. Again, I know some of the renown levels are incomplete/incorrect because of the datamining, but this looks like it could actually be a copy paste error.Thanks for providing the info in an easy to read format!
I think those so optimistically posting here are in for a rude awakening when they see how little renown is awarded per activity. Has it not occurred to anyone that while capped each week, the cap could be so high as to be pointless? You really think two quests will fill it out each week?
So I should level all 4 of my alts week 1 so I don’t have to be 20 weeks behind on them, got it.
I wonder if Shadowlands is going to be our systems "peak" and we'll get a return to basics expansion afterwards.
Not really. With the weekly cap it's the new time gate rather than the new AP as there will be a limit to how far you can go each week.
Let us see How the renown catch up will be done and how alts will fair, at least so far it looks good, glad there is a clear way now on how to upgrade world drop ilvl items.Looking forward also to seeing when new patches come out how this system will progress, as well as if eventually we'll be able to use 2 leggos then at what renown level I wonder?
Nice☺️ Blizzard actually listens this time with all the changes they make for players. Some things should be hard to get!
