Additionally, the currency needed to acquire Harbinger Crests for gear upgrades will be reduced, making it simpler for players to gear up as Season 1 concludes. Information on Mythic+ automatic rewards scaling and lower penalties for failed keys will also be introduced.
Furthermore, transmogs from previously completed quests will unlock automatically upon logging in for the first time with that character.
Diving Into New Storylines
This patch also brings significant storylines, including the chapter Lingering Shadows, which invites players to reconnect with a familiar character as they traverse the narrative bridge leading to Patch 11.1, Undermined. Players will also learn about the aftermath for the Kirin Tor following Dalaran’s destruction, aiding survivors in rebuilding their community.
