How does the New Dragonflight Renown System Work?
In previous WoW expansions, you had farm faction favor that measures in reputation points. Once your reputation was high enough, you would be promoted to the next level of standing and have access to exclusive rewards from the faction vendor. In most cases, the relationship status ranged from Neutral to Exalted. In some cases, you will start your journey to Exalted from Hated, which means that you will need to farm even more reputation, doing more repetitive quests and killing hundreds of mobs. With the Legion expansion, Paragon status was introduced. Paragon status was attainable for those who wished to continue farming reputation with a faction beyond Exalted. Instead of a reputation bar, you’d have a paragon bar, and as you progressed, you were rewarded with a chest that contained some rewards. The problem was that the reputation points requirements for each new rank were too high, the process wasn’t particularly enjoyable, and the rewards weren’t very useful.
With the WoW Dragonflight release, you will have a new system requiring less mindless grind to get a higher rank with the faction. Dragonflight expansion introduces four main factions: the Dragonscale Expedition, the Maruuk Centaur, the Iskaara Tuskarr, and the Valdrakken Accord. The fifth main faction is Loamm Niffen, added in Dragonflight Patch 10.1.
Dragonflight adopts the Renown system from the Shadowlands expansion in a more simplified form. Renown rewards in Dragonflight are account-wide. Most faction renown cap in Dragonflight is 30, but other factions could have a lower or higher renown cap. You must gather 2500 points per Renown rank to increase your Renown. Renown levels are not account-wide and must be earned on every single character. You will get renown points from different sources on Dragon Isles, like daily quests and other activities.
Ways to Increase Reputation with Valdrakken Accord?
With Dragonflight reputation grind was overhauled, there is far more activities to do in the game. It’s never been more fascinating to reach maximum Renown because there are now so many methods to acquire favor with each new faction.
DF Campaign and Side Quests
When you initially begin leveling in DF zones, these main quests will be your most profitable way to get reputation. They each grant roughly 100 renown points, and some even grant reputation with other factions as well. You may boost your Renown with the Valdrakken Accord by completing quests in all areas, but the Thaldraszus is the most beneficial.
Thaldraszus is your best bet to get reputation with the Valdrakken Accord. Though you can find a few places, the best way to quickly and easily amass a sizable number is to farm renown in Thaldraszus. You can give between 100 and 400 renown upon completing the side quests. Sadly, you can’t repeat them, so you’ll need to find other ways to boost your Renown once you’ve exhausted them.
Valdrakken Accord Dungeons Quests
Most factions will send you to obtain some item and slay a boss in the dungeon and get the item from his corpse. Aside from having to look for a party, there is no downside in doing so, but among renown, you will have a chance to get solid gear that will help in your further adventure. Although only two dungeon quests are associated with Valdrakken Accord, completing each of them grants 750 renown points.
Valdrakken Accord The Obsidian Citadel
The Obsidian Citadel is located in eastern Waking Shores. Every week you will get a quest from one of the two leaders of Black Dragonflight. Completing the quest unlocks five weekly quests that give 150 renown with the Valdrakken Accord per quest. Also, you’ll get a new weekly quest to deliver a key either to Sabellian or Wrathion. Who you choose is up to you; in the end, you will get an Obsidian Strongbox containing Titan Relics, Dragon Isles Supplies cosmetic rewards, and other loot.
Valdrakken Accord Siege on Dragonbane Keep
This event is unlocked upon reaching renown 5 with Valdrakken Accord. It’s located in The eastern Waking Shores. You can see whether the event is active by hovering an icon on your map. Completing the event gives you 50 renown and a Dragonbane Strongbox, which always contains a hefty sum of gold, but also Titan Relics, which can be turned in for 15 renown points apiece.
Valdrakken Accord Siege Aerial Challenges
This is an entirely new content type which you unlock at renown 7 by completing a short introductory quest. Aerial challenges are fun races that you may complete for 100 renown and various other rewards.
Valdrakken Accord World Quests
These quests haven’t really changed since Legion expansion. You can repeat world quests on a daily basis, normal ones give you 100 and elite ones give 300 reputation.
DF Faction Contracts
There is a consumable item that can be used to enter into a contract with any faction. You can increase your reputation with a faction by 15 points every time you complete a world quest after entering contract with them. While doing wold quests, this is a very practical way to gain some reputation. Inscription has the ability of making these goods, and they can be sold at the Auction House. There are a total of four of them, one per faction.
DF Weekly Quest: Aiding the Accord
The weekly is unlocked upon completion of the main campaign of the Dragonflight. Head to the center of Valdrakken and interact with Therazal. Don't forget, that the weekly requires you to get 3000 renown points across all DF factions. It grants another 500 renown points upon completion.
