World of Warcraft: The War Within Season 2 Turbo Boost Details
There is also a new weekly quest that will help players get raid gear. By defeating four bosses from Liberation of Undermine, fans can earn a Puzzling Cartel Chip. Turning three of them into Wrexxle in Dornogal near the Great Vault allows one to purchase any piece of raid gear, though buying Heroic or Mythic gear requires players to have defeated the boss at least once on that difficulty. Each character can earn six Puzzling Cartel Chips, meaning they will be able to buy a total of two pieces of gear.
While fans are happy to see these improvements being made, they are surprised to see them made so early in the season. Additionally, the Heroic and Mythic gear restrictions for Puzzling Cartel Chips have disappointed many, especially when comparing the system to similar ones from the past, such as Puzzling Cartel Dinars fromShadowlandsorAntique Bronze Bullions fromWoW: Dragonflight.
Puzzlingly, this update marks yet another aspect ofWorld of WarcraftPatch 11.1.5 that didn’t arrive on launch day. With many of the update’s features unavailable for several weeks, content that did arrive being riddled with bugs, and concerns about Turbo Boost, many players have not been satisfied with Patch 11.1.5 so far. Hopefully,World of Warcraftcan continue to make improvements to correct that in future updates.
