Hey! I’m going to faction change my main after a long break in wow. Originally my main was Horde (the character is Alliance atm) and 99% of my time in wow was played on this character so there are many achievements that are in progress (100 BG wins, unfinished storylines for loremaster, exploration achieves, etc). Is the progress in these achievements going to reset after the faction change? If I have 72/100 wins in “Silvershard mines Veteran” after the faction change will it be 0/100? I would be very grateful if someone provides accurate info about this.
PS When I did the Horde>Alliance switch (back in WoD) on my main nothing was lost. I checked the statistics and for example “Isle of Conquest Veteran” shows 30/100 wins and character statistics shows 70 IoCs played and 30 won.
All I’ve found is this
Achievements
- Completed achievements which are both faction and character specific will convert to their cross-faction equivalent. If the achievement is not yet completed, any partial progress will reset. For example, Nemesis achievements.
- All Argent Tournament achievements (whether in-progress or completed) will reset.
- Other achievements are account-wide and remain unaffected.
Any idea if it was always like that? I’ve even checked my Argent Tournament achievements which I have completed when the character was Horde and they didn’t reset after I faction changed him to Alliance in 2015.
I faction changed a warrior a couple months back and the achievments for argent tournament didn’t reset but i had to do the intro and unlock each faction again.
The Argent Tournament used to cause lots of issues when race changing so I don’t know if that is a later change. This char went human for WoD (pretty garrisons) and then back again at the end and I had to have a GM take over my account both times to fix it. However it equally could work the same as before, I just don’t know. I’ve not done a faction change in years.
So it’s possible you may lose some of it and you’ll have to decided if it’s a risk you want to take. Judging by Heist’s post it might be a risk worth taking. Worst case scenario you have to do the dailies again.
I don’t really care about Argent Tournament, tbh. I’ve bought all the items and I also have it done on my old main. Loosing all progress in unfinished achieves would be a total RIP for me.
