Never got how those extra fearures really worked back in shadowlands. The partys, the garden or custom creature. It was so confusing and not fun at all.

[@darwinxavier3516]

A few tips to mention to maximize your cosmetic and achievement farming. The Nathria weapons share the same color for lfr through heroic, only mythic is different. You will have to switch covenants to collect every mog from the Nathria weapon tokens. There are items for the covenant features like abomination factory and path of ascension which will only drop while you are in that covenant. If you are still missing wild shapes, you should find out what they are and be Night Fae when you do that content, like the dragon from beating heroic Danathrius. Same goes for certain abom factory costume pieces which will count toawrd the shadowlands "do everything" meta. Be night fae when you turn in Maw dailies so you can get seeds for the queens conservatory. Check what Korthia dailies give you pieces for the covenant sets and switch covenants accordingly. Since you're going to be collecting anima anyway, you can complete the weekly collect 1k anima quest for some gold, and it can be done on each covenant. If you haven't already, start on the abom factory and night fae transport network rep as both of those are fairly time gated.

[@Memmnoc]

started this last week! forgot about the anima from zereth though. thanks for the reminder.

[@ginch6448]

Thanks for the breakdown

[@Onimusouka]

Good stuff. I might start to farm again in my downtime after this new season 4 patch

[@frenchbassguy]

I’m really looking forward to these changes, but I take issue with the fact that there are appearances that are locked behind covenant rep. Which is something they said (before SL) they weren’t going to do anymore. And ion just said covenant rep WON’T be account-wide. VERY frustrating …

[@naajilyons2872]

I didn't wait. I have 16 toons farming shadowlands mog, 4 toons of every armor type in all 4 covenants.

[@charlayned]

I have some stuff I can do there, a couple of toons who have enough to get things done. I have All The Things, and thanks for the other addon, that's a new one. I'm a transmogaholic and love collecting everything, mounts, pets, mog and toys. My husband thinks i'm nuts but I love it. Since I don't do raid/dungeons much, if at all, having other ways to get some things helps. I do run them solo well after the current content has moved along, though. :)

[@tenerifecats6652]

I unlocked the covenant appearances on 4 different characters and really just didn’t want to have to do them again. But woaw!! I may need to check in with the covenants…and yeah I have tons of currency on my alts.

[@BearPawSwipe]

I am in the same boat...the thought of having to do it for the rest of the sets was not appealing at all.

[@13samfootball]

Great analysis

[@mirandelf]

The approach I took in SL was to collect the covenant campaign variant for every armour type. So I ran each covenant campaign 4 times per covenant. This is very doable and maybe a single campaign run through would unlock all 4 armour types now. The other collectable armours that require a lot more time and effort grinding currency or maxing each covenant system are just colour variations of these and some are very similar. I’m not inclined to go back to that grind with so much else to do in current WOW.

[@torc7424]

Also, if you have your adventure table maxed, especially if you have a character in each covenant, you can log in once or twice a day to farm anima and pet currency (if you choose). There are a couple of addons that make that a couple of clicks per character.

[@paolo5297]

You can handle those via Armory App too

[@Rural-ds4ut]

Venture Plan was the one I used back in shadowlands for the adventure table, I think

[@iamthesayyadina]

Excellent use of the Wilhelm Scream.

[@zushiba]

I noticed that the Shadowlands Umbral armor and it's equivalents are now selectable in the transmog list as a set on the transmog vendor now.

[@magenpie_4009]

Nice use of the "Wilhelm Scream". :)

[@ralph4370]

Once you get to level 80 in covenants, it is easier for other alts to level up as well. On an alt you can buy a token that will bring your level to 60 and do some quests and get it to 80 and bam get the transmog gear and make some coin along the way. done it with 2 toons slowly working on it for the rest eventually

[@dragonicelv]

Wait... token that levels you up? Do you mean renown?

[@fluffnugget1812]

@@dragonicelv yes the token that levels your renown is sold by the vendor next to the flight master in oribos

[@duanefalk219]

You should be the official harbinger…of good news! Thanks for the very informative videos. This is great.

[@pyq27]

Thanks for the guide! But I'm still confused and having Shadowlands ptsd, guess I'll come back to that expansion in about 10 years.🤣

[@bigbear450]

LOL love your show..makes me smile

[@user-kl9bi4jt4t]

Pretty sure you can already trade anima with the account bound items near the flight master in Oribos.

[@Ryquard1]

Esxactly! Thats how i unlocked 16 times the special events on my alts. 4 alts for the tmogs sets each one unlocking the 4 covenants, the really anoying part was to rescue souls from the maw. And i had to wait untill Dragonflight lvl 70 so that the path on asention dis not destroyed my self worth and sanity. Path of asention is a breeze at max level

[@04nimmot]

Legion was my favourite, but Shadowlands is second. Going in I didn’t think I’d like the theme but thoroughly enjoyed it, except Korthia, of course. Castle Nathria was a fantastic raiding experience personally: my first curve (been playing since mop), first mythic raiding, raid leading, became assistant gm, scouted into top server guild (until blizz had their pr mare and it fell apart, thanks blizz), most importantly it was so fun!

[@Xarou]

So this might be a very noob question but I didn't follow SL much in the latter part of the expansion and after. If I am a Night Fae and switch to Necrolord, if I go back to Night Fae do I start at level 1 or does it keep a snapshot of where I was before I switched? From what he said in the video it is the latter. When they first introduced the covenant switching I thought there was some sort of penalty round where you have to do menial tasks until you can get to where you start out at level 1. I could be completely wrong though. But regardless, do you start out at level 1 in the covenant you are switching to? I'm a big collector and my misconceptions around the covenants in SL have always kept me away from doing them all.

[@kimdeuel]

I did 16 armor sets during Shadowlands (every covenant times all four armor types) but didn't do any of the quartermaster's transmog stuff because I never had any extra anima. Didn't feel like grinding it so I never capped out on anybody. Didn't care for mission tables so didn't get it from those either. I might try later for those rep sets, but right now is still too soon.

[@keblin86]

I've been trying to complete SL whenever I play the game again and it's so damn painful lol, I absolutely hate it but I will eventually do it

[@Sergeantsqueakers]

just a heads up for anyone who wants to know you will still need 1 of each armor type for things like the reven mirrors and mald construct sets

[@starshinewindlord2716]

I'm still gonna have to do that Bastion spearchucker/mirror arena-as-vehicle quest thing :/

[@torc7424]

@@starshinewindlord2716 If you mean the path of ascension, your gear level affects your damage. It's an utter cakewalk now.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

gggoooddddssssareyoukiddingmeeeeeeeee????? Construct set needs to be gathered FOUR TIMES WTTTTFFFFFF!!! All the work you need to do just to build the Unity construct - and the time that you must wait to research upgrades and for the resource gathering quests to reset. And then the ridiculous grind doing world quests to maybe MAYBE have the tiniest sliver of a chance to have a gear piece appearance to drop. Such an insult. (I haven't even gotten ONE appearance to drop btw, much less four complete sets... Uhngk!)

[@IkarioFTW]

So if i unlock some ravendreth items will my bastion characters use the transmog? Or are transmogs still locked to being of a specific covenant?

[@DrDrystal]

one thing i gotta ask Since when are you able to join multiple covenants at once? Wasn't it that you had to choose one and stick by it? If you ever leave let's say Revendreth, you loose every perk and Anima Conducter Progress and overall Covenan Access to this Covenant. That is why i maxed out one for Bastion, one for Ardenweald, one for Revendreth and one for Maldraxxus (4 characters) Is it true that my tauren Shaman could have done all four..and not get penalized for leaving their previous covenant to join a new one?

[@ffsnickavailable]

I love you

[@solahara960]

Didnt payed attention to Cosmetic farming in the begining of SL, but once i figured out i could get more than 13k anima per day, for a while it became my daily-ish cofee drinking activity. Covenants have quite a buch of nice appearances to get. And in the end, i consider the SL grind for appearances far more ludic than DF's one that could be bought in AH or just farmed on trash mobs.

[@justtrolin]

will it apply to the thorghast sets? some of those xmogs are f'n sweet!!!

[@ragnar1174]

I just boost a Character 70 Where do I start the dragonfly quest? Do I have to complete The Guardian of the dream?

[@Itsyourboyben1]

I thought SL story was well streamlined and easy to understand. The end game was a grind but that was to be expected. I LOVED how you could pick up entry faction gear that any character could wear regardless of class

[@jonathanjones270]

I’ve tried. I really have. But I can just feel my life shrivelling away whenever I go near that expansion.

[@Sticklemako]

Most of us don't have this much time. But we will do it slowly for like ever 🤣

[@timgersh6787]

a geared alt in s4 can do a mythic solo easy so its good raw gold and anima, the mission table can do quite a bit just set it and go idk to the gym than 3 hours later bam

[@RexVenge95]

Can't wait for Sanctum to become legacy. I've yet to collect all armor types other than plate, lmao like you I only focused on one character in SL (my DK).

[@Rural-ds4ut]

You can buy the mythic sanctum appearances from the auction house if you didnt want to wait for SL raids to become legacy. They share the same appearances with the shadowlands legendary base white items.

[@gelipterzg]

i've unlocked all the appereances back in shadowlands for all the classes. yes i literally have no life outside wow, except my wife, but she's a pretty tolerant lady :D

[@GenjiShimada.]

You lucky man in world!

[@BearPawSwipe]

Dang. That is intense.

[@richiem6682]

I still don’t get it. If you unlocked the leather Transmog for say path of ascension Kiryan will that now mean that the plate, cloth and mail ones are now unlocked? Or is it that all leather transmogs for all the different covenants now available so you don’t have to to another covenant. All characters already have access to transmogs that have been unlocked if they are the same type eg leather currently

[@SoulSoBreezy]

Regarding PoA ensembles, those have entirely different names on the vendor. There is no general "path of ascension ensemble" that would apply to all armor types and need to be earned separately.

[@richiem6682]

@@SoulSoBreezy thanks sorry that was a bad example. Are we just unlocking renown transmog for all characters? If so I don’t understand as that’s already account wide

[@jraffy8148]

Shadowlands... I think it gave me PTSD and I still refuse to set foot back in the Maw... shudders... but I have gone back to work the covenants a little and it's not as traumatic as I remember it.

[@JamesStreetStation]

I love the TMog sets from Shadowlands, but that's one expansion/content I'll NEVER revisit. That's got to be the most grindy, brow beating, hope demolishing expansion ever released.

[@joshuawoodard6998]

How much anima and g.o. per set?

[@harkenrebirth]

You can basicly make it into a weekly thing. Because you still earn gold from the weekly coventant sanctum for geting 1000 anima. Also. Did, Soul. Did you see the funny thing this season? That you CAN upgrade the season 2 gear... YOU CAN UPGRADE SEASON 2 gear.. But you cant upgrade season 3 stuff.. Its a very nice thing . Since we got fcked over the 4 weeks of geting heroic gear from timewalking

[@thatoneguythatalwayswatche9128]

I shudder to think of going back to the Shadowlands. But.... As long as its not the Korthia grind... I am cool with it I guess lol.

[@dmeep]

you didnt have one character in each armour class in each coveneant already?

[@typhon78]

I think it's to be noted that on live you only get 1 Grateful Offering from those quests, not 18 as shown in the video. For those who think about starting the grind now

That screenshot is in fact from live turn-ins of covenant callings

[@Dopeamiine]

Glade i had 3 haracters i maxed out 1 covnant each

[@ranger-du7gk]

I still have not stepped foot inside of Shadowlands and never plan to unless things get nerfed/reworked. There is so much else to play around in that I refuse to strap myself into a misery grind.

[@wolfshanze5980]

Well a lot of it is extremely nerfed simply because your character(s) are much more powerful now. Torghast is a fine example... something that was once nail-biting and time consuming is now just a walk through the park on even the highest difficulties (and of course completely soloable).

[@TheBlessedone37]

Old news, already started, polishing up Ardenweald covenant this week. Then I'm done. Grinding Anima & grateful offerings is easy

[@trousersnake1486]

Shadowlands was worth it just because of Revendreth zone

[@Jaaj2009]

Sadly flying around Zerith Mortis opening chests is defo the best for anima

[@Yoliision]

Testet it many times, flying through zereth Mortis with a druid, collecting treasures an killing rares, gives you 10k anima per hour. No other covenant investment needed.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

You need a Scrooge McDuck's moneybin's worth of "grateful offerings" as well (tho I think of them more like spits in the face, to be honest) - just anima won't cut it. Which is...well, a genuine spit in the face to all players, the way these "offerings" (which they take right back again) are doled out piecemeal with a big ole timegate attached to them. Horrific, insulting game design. Total spit in the face. There are many many more spits in the face like the above by the way - like the abomination factory stuff for example. Shadowlands was just mercilessly designed to kill a player's time completely if they wanted the rewards being "offered". Disgusting. Total focus on "player engagement" metric, to the detriment of everything else.

[@robertross922]

Just listening to the high view recap of SL gave me agita 😅

[@SkyClears]

They can do all sorts of unlocks for shadowlands but unless they increase the anima drop rate heavily, then I will not go back to it. It was awful as a collector. I probably only collected 5% of what is available. That is how much I hated it.

[@ChangesOfTomorrow]

"Hope this helped or at least didn't traumatize you too much" 😅😂 No, not too traumatizing, only a little bit, lol! I've wanted the cloth sets for a while but hated the idea of going back. Might be time, huh

Dear lord... Can we please get a fast travel or covenant heartstone toy? For a unloved expansion its a pita to travel to it.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

I still don't even have 300/750 Anima-Touched Weapon Fragments for Necrolord weapons several years later. The drop rates are so atrocious you get like 30 per hour and that's too damn low to keep doing it. It's so fcking BORING to farm them!

[@matthewtaylor4436]

I’ll never understand why they just didn’t make anima and offerings an account wide currency…

[@nietovall6]

I never played shadowlands, and WoW is doing a great keeping new players and comeback players to keep them away from shadowlands. I left back when Legion was about to end. When I came back this past February, they pushed me to stay on BFA. And all of my new characters, chromie, keep shadowlands really hidden. Althouhg I saw really cool pets foe my hunter sooooo... 🙄

I hope those Mogs are worth it. If it's super long dresses or full plated shoulders, then 🤮 I like the pants the druids got with the dreamwardens. But the skirt is puffy, if we could get a shorter skirt or just the pants, those great. Half classy mog half slutmog 😅

[@minoxiis3419]

Ok but isn't there incentive to have multiple characters farming offerings???

There is, but you gotta consider the work towards setting other characters up to farm said offerings. Time-wise it might be faster, but it's double the work that I could be spent doing something else.
