Summary
World of Warcraftis making a few changes to the raid Renown system in Patch 11.1, with the gear redemption tokens and repair stations being removed in favor of new mounts and an earlier raid skip. The finalized version of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club will appear inWorld of Warcraftwhen the Liberation of Undermine raid opens on March 4.
Recently,World of Warcraftintroduced players to the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club, a new Renown track associated with the Liberation of Undermine raid from Patch 11.1. By defeating bosses and certain enemies in the raid, fans can gain reputation towards this time-gated faction each week, earning perks and buffs within the raid, and some rewards for use outside of it.
However, with just a few weeks until the raid’s release,World of Warcrafthas decided to make a few changes to the new Renown system. In arecent post on the Blizzard forum,World of Warcraftdeveloper Scariizard explained that the rewards for a few Renown ranks would be removed, including the Puzzling Cartel Chips from Rank 17 and 19 and the Fixer-Upper Repair Stations from Rank 5. To compensate, the Raid Skip from Rank 8 is now being moved up to Rank 5, and Rank 8 and 17 now reward players with the Thunderdrum Misfire red rocket mount and the Darkfuse Chompactor, a hyena with armor inspired by theDarkfuse Solutions faction inWorld of Warcraft, respectively.
Changes to the WoW Patch 11.1 Raid Renown System
Though the Puzzling Cartel Chips, which operated similarly to the Puzzling Cartel Dinar andAntique Bronze Bullion from pastWorld of Warcraftexpansions, have been removed from the Renown track, Blizzard plans to bring them back in some form later on. On the other hand, the Fixer-Upper stations were taken out because mounts, consumables, or even the Incontinental Hotel teleport within the raid provide enough other ways to repair gear that this perk was redundant. The raid skip adjustments were made to make the debut of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club less jarring to veteran raiders, as it now works similarly to systems from previous raids, and the new mounts were added to offset the reward shuffle.
