November 04, 2023 4 minutes

In the exciting announcement made during the WoW Deep Dive Panel at BlizzCon 2023, Blizzard unveiled some major changes coming to the Great Vault in the highly anticipated expansion, The War Within. This new update aims to provide a more rewarding and engaging experience for players, with significant adjustments to the PvP reward system and the introduction of world content progression.

Changes to the Great Vault

The biggest change in the Great Vault is the removal of the PvP reward row, which will be replaced by a new World Content row. This means that activities such as the new Delves and other world content will contribute to your progress in the Great Vault. This is an exciting development for players who enjoy exploring the vast world of Azeroth and engaging in various activities beyond PvP.

On the PvP front, players will now receive additional conquest instead of relying solely on the RNG-based gearing system. This change aims to give PvP enthusiasts more agency in their gearing process and reduce the frustrations that can arise from relying solely on luck.

  • World Content Progression

The introduction of the World Content row in the Great Vault opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for players. By engaging in various world activities, such as the thrilling Delves or other yet-to-be-revealed content, players will be able to progress in this row and earn rewards accordingly. This addition not only provides more diverse options for character progression but also encourages players to explore different aspects of the game.

  • Account-Wide Progression & Renown

Another exciting change coming with The War Within Expansion is the implementation of account-wide progression and renown. This means that your character's progress and renown will now be shared across your entire account, allowing you to enjoy a more streamlined and interconnected gameplay experience. Gone are the days of grinding reputation and renown on each individual character!

New Features and Additions

The War Within Expansion is bringing a plethora of new features and additions to the world of Warcraft. Let's take a closer look at some of the highlights:

  • New Zones and Dungeons

The War Within introduces four stunning new zones for players to explore. From lush forests to desolate wastelands, each zone offers its own unique atmosphere and challenges. Additionally, the expansion will include a total of eight new dungeons, offering exciting group content for players of all levels.

  • Nerub'ar Palace Raid

The first raid in The War Within, Nerub'ar Palace, promises to be an epic and challenging experience. Players will venture into the heart of the ancient Nerubian civilization, facing off against powerful bosses and unraveling the mysteries hidden within the palace's dark corridors. Gather your allies, sharpen your blades, and prepare for an unforgettable raiding experience.

  • Expand Class Fantasy with Hero Talents

The War Within introduces a new system called Hero Talents, which will allow players to further customize and enhance their characters' abilities. With a wide range of talents available for each class, players will have the opportunity to deepen their class fantasy and tailor their gameplay experience to their preferred playstyle.

  • Earthen Allied Race

Adding to the roster of Allied Races, The War Within introduces the Earthen Dwarfs for both the Alliance and Horde factions. These formidable and resilient beings bring their unique abilities and rich lore to the world of Azeroth, offering players a fresh and exciting option when creating new characters.
