One of the new features introduced in Dragonflight that was brought over for The War Within is the Renown system. It's essentially a modernized version of the old Reputation system, with rewards that carry across your account based on your Rank with each Faction.

WoW: The War Within – Best Earthen Classes, Ranked

There are nine classes available to the Earthen in WoW: The War Within, but only Tank classes seem to really benefit from their racials.

Once you have reached Renown Rank 3 with the Severed Threads faction, which should happen naturally by completing the main Azj-Kahet storyline, you will unlock the new WoW Pacts system. This system allows you to pledge your services to one of three leaders within the Severed Threads, each with its own progression track for unique rewards.

This guide explains what these new WoW Pacts are, and what rewards you can expect to earn from each of the three Pact leaders as you gain Standing with them.

What Are WoW TWW Pacts?

Choose One Each Week For New Rewards & Renown Progression

Essentially, Pacts are a bond between you and a chosen leader to take on activities like World Quests in the Azj-Kahet to improve your Standing with them (and progress your Renown with the Severed Threads) and unlock Pact-specific rewards.

There are three Pacts you can pledge yourself to each week: The General, The Vizier, and the Weaver, who you will have met while completing the main Azj-Kahet story. As you progress every Pact, you will be rewarded with new abilities you can use in Azj-Kahet, Pact World Buffs, new quests, Titles, Mounts, and access to previously-inaccessible areas.

To pick up a Pact for the week, speak with the Severed Threads Quartermaster in the Weaver's Lair within Azj-Kahet. Once you have made your The War Within Pacts choice, it will apply to your entire account.

This means you cannot grind out reputation on your Alts between all three every week – you are locked to your TWW Pact choice until the weekly reset on Tuesday morning EST.
