Shadowlands Preview: A Look at Covenant Systems

I have a question about the covenants and it mostly has to do with how the zones, quests, and rates will be handled. Ion said in the stream you can conduct the flow of anima to a certain area allowing you access to that area permanently which could contain rares or quests. Either one being able to drop toys, cosmetics, upgrades, mounts, etc… The question is are my friends or guildies who are not part of my covenant able to help in these endeavors and will they get rewarded for their aid?

If the zone quests worked more like WoD Garrisons where you could pick up quests from other garrisons if it didn’t spawn in yours allowing you and any friends you shared it with to go do the quests together and earn the rewards together.

Really just wanting to make sure choosing a covenant doesn’t limit the playtime with friends because we will all have our own quests and we can’t aid each other and gain no reward for it.

Spawned rares and rare elites are summoned by a Covenant member (within the Anima focused areas), but anyone can take part in killing them for loot.

Beyond that, daily quests, treasures, and the world quest you can get from conducting Anima to a specific area are only for you.

That said, this is only a small portion of the overall activities that are available to you and ultimately, you should choose to play in the Covenant you will enjoy most.
