World of Warcraft is getting Valor points again to balance out endgame rewards

You'll soon have more ways to earn top-spirit level gear in World of Warcraft that South Korean won't involve dipping into PvP. Blizzard has spelt out several changes it has pushed to the MMORPG's PTR to tackle the community's feedback connected rewards.

The primary change Blizzard is testing sees the Valor point system's return and upgradeable Fabulous Keystone dungeon gear. The gear will start with a crownwork of item plane 200 and rise to 207 if you complete all eight Shadowlands dungeons at Mythical 5 or higher. If you drag that off, you'll go a new "Lynchpin IE" achievement, while the preexistent "Keystone Conqueror" accomplishment for levels tenner or higher will increase the cap of each point to level 213. If you hit level 15, you'll get the "Keystone Master" accomplishment, and the power to reach level 220 pitch. Upgrading totally this sweet swag is where Valor points come in. You can realise the points by "completing Fabulous Keystone dungeons, or by doing compact Callings, with a hebdomadally detonator". Do keep in mind, though, that upgrade costs bequeath vary by item slot, and will personify consonant crosswise all item levels.

"We've seen a lot of feedback about the pros and cons of the various sources of gear in the Shadowlands endgame," biotic community manager Randy Jordan says. "After a rewarding first fewer weeks, we know that many dungeon-focused players reached a point where the only applicable rewards from the system of rules get from the Nifty Vault.

"Spell the Hurdle should represent a major goal and the source of the best rewards the endgame has to offer, we want to find a way for the loot from the chest at the end of a challenging Mythic Keystone run to finger relevant, without bringing indorse random kick upstairs systems so much as Warforging, which partly solved this problem in the past. We also wishing to provide a more invariable reinforcement for the effort for players WHO do non receive an item the least bit."

WoW is also seeing some tuning to its covenant and legendary systems. Jordan explains that the team is cautious just about affecting anything that players have put over a lot of resources into, merely the balance pass will focus on less used items.

There's no word, currently, on when these changes bequeath make their way to the ringing host, equally Blizzard will likely tweak them for a fair bit. If you're looking for some help, our WoW Shadowlands grading pass around will get your adventure off to a proficient start.
