Working with my Covenant, I get a set of tasks to complete each week: Progress some story missions, grind out some currency, and adventure through an endgame zone.Īs I complete these activities over a couple of hours, my standing with the Kyrians goes up, and they let me borrow a bit more power.
And at max level, I get to dedicate myself to one Covenant for the rest of the expansion and borrow some of its power.Īfter testing out each Covenant’s unique abilities as I level, I decide to join the Kyrians of Bastion on my Paladin. In the Shadowlands, I meet four different Covenants - afterlife clubs designed to service different kinds of souls.

Talk to any veteran WoW players, and you’ll hear about real addiction problems or feeling completely unable to play because of their adult commitments.

I wanted to raid and I couldn’t wait to see the fights, but I wasn’t going to lose all of my free time to World of Warcraft to do it. It was at that moment that I realized I wouldn’t be joining a guild during World of Warcraft: Legion. But by the end of the meeting, I had some homework: I needed to spend 30-plus hours running the same dungeon 80 times if I wanted to level up my weapon and join for the guild’s next run. The Nighthold raid had debuted a few weeks earlier, and I was hoping to get on a team before the next raid, Tomb of Sargeras, opened to the public. Almost four years ago, I sat in a meeting with a potential new World of Warcraft guild.
