Summary

  • World of Warcraft is making changes to Patch 1.1's raid Renown system, removing Puzzling Cartel Chips from ranks 17 and 19.
  • Fixer-Upper Repair Stations are also being removed from Rank 5 due to the raid already having plenty of ways to repair gear.
  • Raid Skip has been moved up from Rank 8 to Rank 5, while two new mounts are being added to fill in some of the empty slots.

World of Warcraft is 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 in World of Warcraft when the Liberation of Undermine raid opens on March 4.

Recently, World of Warcraft introduced 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 Warcraft has decided to make a few changes to the new Renown system. In a recent post on the Blizzard forum, World of Warcraft developer 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 the Darkfuse Solutions faction in World of Warcraft, respectively.

Changes to the WoW Patch 11.1 Raid Renown System

  • Puzzling Cartel Chips removed from rank 17 and 19
  • Fixer-Upper Repair Stations removed from Rank 5
  • Raid Skip moved from Rank 8 to Rank 5
  • Thunderdrum Misfire mount added to Rank 8
  • Darkfuse Chompactor mount added to Rank 17

Though the Puzzling Cartel Chips, which operated similarly to the Puzzling Cartel Dinar and Antique Bronze Bullion from past World of Warcraft expansions, 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.

The following week introduces Story Mode and the second Raid Finder wing, with the last two sections of the low-challenge raid opening on March 18 and 25.
