The system is kind of confusing, so let me ask some examples…
My main is this druid, Night Fae. I haven’t played other covenants with her (yet).
I have a Necrolord Demon Hunter, done the 9.0 covenant campaign, not renown 80 yet.
I have a Kyrian Mage, done the 9.0 campaign, not renown 80 yet.
So… if I buy/get some reward with my Necro DH, can I use it on my druid, or will I be able to use it once the DH is at renown 80?
If I switch my druid to Necro and buy stuff there, can I use it after switching back to Night Fae? Or do I need renown 80? Or is it good if I have renown 80 with my demon hunter?
If I switch my druid to Kyrian, can I buy the leather stuff, including the covenant campaign sets? Or do I need to do the campaign again on a leather-wearing character?
What about the other, non-campaign unlocked Kyrian items? Can I use them on my druid if my MAGE has renown 80 at Kyrian?
Unlocking Covenant Cosmetics for Multiple Covenants
Cosmetic rewards for a specific covenant are only available for use cross-covenant once an individual character reaches 80 renown with that covenant. Reaching 80 renown with one covenant will not unlock the appearances for all covenants.
Example
Your paladin reached 80 renown with Venthyr. This unlocks the paladin’s ability to use Venthyr cosmetics while belonging to any other covenant. If your paladin wants to use Night Fae cosmetics in the same way, they’d first have to reach 80 renown with the Night Fae.
Unlocking Armor-Specific Covenant Cosmetic Sets
Some covenant cosmetic sets are unlocked by armor type. These can be unlocked as follows:
The covenant armor set must be the preferred armor type for the character that obtained it
Renown 80 for that covenant must be reached by the same character who obtained the armor set
This must be repeated for each armor type that you want to unlock
Example
Your priest unlocks the Necrolord campaign cloth appearances and earned 80 Necrolord renown. Your shaman would still have to unlock the Necrolord campaign mail set to make it available for other mail wearers on the account.
Basically you need to be renown 80 with each covenant. It can be on one char or multiple chars.
I have one char at 80 renown in each covenant (four total). Technically my main is now also 80 renown in two.
My understanding (which could be wrong as I’ve not tried switching and only have one character with a completed campaign and renown 80) is that you would need renown 80 in a covenant to access that covenant’s transmogs. You might need the campaign completed on a char (not necessarily the druid but you have done it so you should be fine).
So I think you would need to switch the druid, buy the token for renown 40 and earn 40 more from callings or dungeons etc.
It may be better to earn the renown 80 on the toons that have already started and this will open up access to those mogs.
The system is a bit too convoluted, they put in these artificial restrictions just to encourage more play but it often just discourages it as it’s confusing and tedious.
I did a few, but I do also check if it’s worth the “look”. Night Fae plate look, I personally think you can skip that e.g., but that’d be my choice ;).
Me personally I am renown 80 on this one and my priest on all covenants. After 9.2, it really didn’t take that long. Of course, buy the 40 renown thingie, do the covenant chapters (that’s what I did), and do dungeons, callings,… easy clap!
The ZM storyline also helped, I even changed covenant halfway, since renown was already 80 ;)!
The grateful offereings are a painful part for me.
I’m going to have to dedicate some time to getting the other two covenant looks done and their individual events. Necro and NF are quite straight forward but I despise the arena fighting thing we have to do for Kyrians. Every time I try I end up just closing the game.
I’ve collected everything from the Venthyr, I’ve done all the vendor purchases from the Kyrians bar the ones that require me to have done their special event. The Venthyr parties were very enjoyable but I hate the Kyrian variation.
I’ve not really made much of a dent into NF sets or Necro. I will do at some point, I do have an NF and Necro Paladin at 80 renown each. I just need to actually do all the necessary to farm on each. I’ll probably do it when I have a downtime period.
I’m also not remotely interested in Season 4 as I hate the concept. That stuff belongs in TW not as the main content the game has to offer IMO. If I’m still subbed I can do my farms then probably or at the end of this season. The spanner in the works will be if they announce there is a KSM mount for their recycling experimental dungeon event. In which case I’ll have to endure that first.
Only while part of Necrolord until you hit 80 with them on any toon.
Whew… good question. I don’t think the campaign restrictions are removed - however you no longer have to grind renown before completing it as a whole and none of them takes long with flight. I was told a full campaign is a couple hours.
If you mean the cosmetic items, those can be used indeed. You still have to unlock the covenant armor slots with a leather wearer since your mage cannot collect those looks. (That’s what I’ll have to do when my pally reaches 80 renown - I have every covenant armor set but Kyrian for cloth. I don’t have any Kyrian clothie that did the campaign.)
So in principle, whatever you unlocked on your main is also usable by your alt in question so long you hit 80 with the covenant in question.
An example, to make it clearer, is having a 2 handed mace unlock for Kyrian. With a rogue you’ll NEVER be able to use it as none of the specs can use 2 handed weapons.
You mean the exact same ‘problem’ that’s existed since transmog was introduced? If you want to wear a particular look, you first have to unlock it with a character that can equip it. Seems perfectly fair to me.
No they haven’t really done anything like this in the past. Covenants have made it horrendous in the quantity of farming that is required. It’s rather naive to pretend this is like any other expansion.
Even if you only do one armour type it’s a humongous undertaking to do all four. Add onto that, four different armour types and voila you have cosmetic farming from hell.
I’ve got multiple characters maxxed out on multiple covenants just through playing the game. If they weren’t all leather and mail, I’m sure I’d have unlocked everything passively by now.
