"World of Warcraft" is back with a new expansion pack that was recently released last Monday, November 23. It enforces a new reputation system called the "Renown" that is important for each player and covenant's progression. Blizzard Entertainment's MMORPG expansion pack brought players to confusion on new progress and reputation systems that differs from the previous versions.

The American video games developer and publisher, Blizzard Entertainment, continued its massive computer gaming franchise that was initially released in 2004. The 16-year-old game offers more than the initial thought of leveling up and progressing through the storyline where players can do more than what's asked of them.

WoW Shadowlands: Covenants and Renown Reputation System

"World of Warcraft: Shadowlands" offers a massive new environment that ventures to the afterlife of Azeroth and the realm of dark creatures. Here, players can choose between four covenants to join, namely the Kyrian Covenant located in Bastion, Necrolord Covenant located in Maldraxxus, Night Fae Covenant located in Ardenwald, and Venthyr Covenant located in Revendreth.

Each covenant and location in the game's world adhere to a particular society and unique attribute that players receive when choosing their initial avatars. The game would give players a chance to play as defenders of the light or as spawns of evil magic that battles eternally in the Shadowlands. There are six locations in Shadowlands' new maps that correspond to each unique area.

'World of Warcraft: Shadowlands': How to Earn Renown

According to WoW Head. com, Shadowlands uphold a new reputation system that focuses on the growth and progression of the currency known as "Renown." The in-game currency "Renown" supports, differ from money and gold, as it builds up "Trust" in the chosen covenant, strengthens the connection with one's "Soulbind," and use for upgrading a player's "Sanctum."

Additionally, there would not be unlimited "Renown" in-game as "WoW Shadowlands" would have a weekly cap for the progression system's currency.

Main Story and Mission

The easiest place to earn Renown is through playing the game's story and plot through one's chosen covenant in-game. The straightforward approach is also the easiest as players would only need to follow the game's progression while playing, and here, Renown is earned. Missions like quests, tasks, and special events are all sources for Renown that will be awarded to players.

Side Raids, Quests, Callings

Missing out on weekly raids would also mean losing the chance to take the Renown that comes with it. Also, missing a week's attack would mean less Renown from other quests that are still available. However, despite being absent, there are always side quests, raids, and callings that are available to do and perform.

The amount of these side quests are massive; however, it also falls on the weekly cap of Renown gathering. Players can also use side quests to add up Renown to their main quests but would be restricted to the lid. 

Collect Anima and Save Lost Souls in Torghast

Apart from the main missions and side quest, players have a third option from collecting Renown for the progression of one's character or Sanctum. The first option is to gather and collect "Anima," than to deliver it to Covenants. These are precious objects which also act as currency. It is both an energy and money source.

The second option is to journey to "the Maw" and help save the souls trapped in the Torghast tower. Each player would be tasked with different souls to capture, particularly those who were lost and supposed to enter their respective Covenants.
