Are Covenants Still a Thing in Dragonflight?
The question on every Dragonflight player’s mind is: are covenants still a thing in Dragonflight? The answer is yes, but with some limitations. In this article, we’ll explore the state of covenants in Dragonflight and provide an overview of how they work.
Can I still join covenants?
Yes, you can still join covenants in Dragonflight, but only in Shadowlands content. Covenant abilities will be disabled outside of Shadowlands, so you won’t be able to use them in non-Shadowlands content like Ny’alotha, Castle Nathria, and Castle Perfection. This means you won’t be able to take advantage of covenant abilities while playing in other content besides Shadowlands.
Are covenant unlocks account-wide?
Yes, regardless of your current covenant affiliation, you can use cosmetic rewards that you earned on a covenant you reached renown 80 with. This benefit is account-wide, which means you can use rewards earned on one covenant account-wide, regardless of your current covenant affiliation.
Can I reverse a covenant?
If you find that you’re unhappy with the covenant you joined or want to switch to another covenant, you can submit an application to remove the restrictive covenant. The process typically takes between 18 and 24 months and may require negotiation with the covenant you’re currently associated with.
Can I use covenant power with both Dragonflight and Shadowlands?
No, you won’t be able to use covenant power in Dragonflight. Covenant powers will only be available in Shadowlands content. You will still be able to upgrade your covenant armor in the Shadowlands, but covenant powers will not be active outside of Shadowlands content.
How do I upgrade my covenant armor in Dragonflight?
There are two options for upgrading your covenant armor: (1) General upgrade NPCs, and (2) Covenant Sanctums. Check the relevant NPCs and areas to find the necessary equipment for upgrading your armor. Remember to reach renown 80 for each covenant armor you want to unlock account-wide.
Unlocking Covenant Sets
Here are the steps to unlock Covenant Sets:
| Covenant Sets | Unlocking Conditions |
|---|---|
| Preferred armor | Reach renown 80 |
| Repeat for each set |
Cosmetic rewards for covenant sets
Regarding cosmetic rewards for covenant sets:
- Cosmetic rewards that you earned on a Covenant you reached renown 80 with are account-wide usable.
- You can switch to a different covenant but retain the cosmetic rewards.
- You can upgrade armor but cosmetic rewards won’t be affected.
Why is it important to unlock Covenant Sets?
It’s essential to unlock covenant sets to gain cosmetic rewards that are account-wide. Additionally, having the capability to switch between covenants while retaining your progress provides more flexibility in playing your game.
In summary, covenants are still a thing in Dragonflight, but with the added complexity of covenant sets. To make the most of this feature, take the time to learn the necessary steps to unlock account-wide cosmetic rewards, manage your covenant progression, and stay informed about any covenant updates.
