Can someone explain how covenant swapping works in 9.1.5?

ok so i swapped one of my chars who’s renown 80 to another covenant to see how it works on ptr, but i was 20 something on that covenant?? wasn’t it that i instantly swap to renown 80??

also, when i tried going back to the renown 80 covenant, i still had to do “prove your worth” quest? i dont get it

No, you still need to build renown with a new covenant. It’s just when you’re 80 with one, you are now able to freely switch without cooldowns/restrictions and you’re able to use that covenant’s cosmetics even when you’re no longer its member.

i am renown 80 on ptr, and went kyrian renown 20 something, then decided to go back again on the 80 renown covenant and see what happens… it gave me a quest?!

There is supposedly a vendor somewhere around flight master in Oribos, selling renown level boost. I don’t know how this works since I don’t have the PTR installed atm, but it is supposed to give 20 or 40 renown levels. I am awaiting your response as I have a few chars lined up to swap.

ok so basically i swapped from necro “renown 80” to kyrian, which i had 20 something on, then swapped back to necro and asked me to do the quest… i dont udnerstand?

One should get all the renown back upon swapping. Really strange.

i have my renown, but it says i have to do the quest which is currently on retail. i thought the quest was completely removed?

No clue. You shouldn’t be getting that quest once you’ve unlocked one covenant to Renown 80. But no; they haven’t removed it. Anyone who doesn’t have renown 80 yet, still gets it.

Sounds like a bug honestly.

well what if i get renown 80 on 1 covenant, and then swap to another one, then go back again? if my other covenant isn’t 80 yet, do i have to do the quest?

It should work like:

  • starting covenant, let’s say Necro - renown 80
  • swap to Kyrian instantly - renown should be 0 or 1… idk, or higher if you went there in the past, basically your last renown there is saved, you said you were 20, so you must have been Kyrian at some point in the past
  • after switching, buy the - set my renown to 40 item -… which then sets it to 40, you then have to do “stuff” to get from 40 to 80 with that new one
  • if you switch back, it should be instant and the renown you have should be 80 now, as you left it

Having to get to 80 with your second covenant to be able to switch instantly again sounds like a bug… or oversight in their programming, which doesn’t surprise me :smiley:

thanks for taking the time to explain in details! : )

i do however think “prove your worth” is bugged, and shouldn’t exist.

12

That’s because it is a bug… or oversight… a gap in their programming logic that they didn’t account for.
And should be fixed ofc!

Make sure you bugreport it so they can look into that :slight_smile:

14

i have already bug reported it.

i hope they fix it before release :man_shrugging:

There better not be an expectation gap here.

It should be as simple as “Yo kyrian want to do a sanguine depths but we need you to be Venthyr for it”.
“Sure” >>>swaps instantly.

If its not this simple I’ve been lied to.

yes, you’ve been lied to.

you have to do from scratch your leveling… or rather… from 40 if you buy the “item”, as some people are claiming.

17

I imagine it a bug…problem is they’re so bad at fixing these things that it’ll probably go live.

18

ye well its not

you still have to farm renown :slight_smile:

have fun - amazing content coming there :slight_smile:
