Mission table interaction with covenant change

Community General Discussion
1

Hello,

Does anyone happen to know the exact interaction that occurs with active missions when you change covenants? I was <100 soul ash away from another rank 4 legendary, so I’ve currently pushed off my Venthyr->Kyrian covenant change 24h. Knowing I’ll have to start over with all the covenant followers, I figured I should attempt the mission before switching to get the rank4 a week earlier.

If I change while it’s in progress instead of waiting, will I still get the rewards if it succeeds? Or do the followers just poof? Or would I get the rewards when I swap back to Venthyr later this expansion?

Thanks for any information; I haven’t been able to find specific comments on this yet.

I tried to find something specific, but the closest I could find is regarding upgraded command tables.

I haven’t personally switched any of my covenants so I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I would recommend holding off until that mission completes.

Basically, leaving one covenant and starting a new one wipes things clean with the new covenant. Any upgrades to the command table would also be lost which leads me to believe that you’d have to unlock it again with the new covenant.

Here’s the link I found:

The covenant stays the same once you leave it, so I assume if you change while the mission is in progress you would have to switch back to complete it. I hope they make the follower levels switch over when changing, ive been doing them since the launch and am only level 40, and now all those followers will just be sitting doing nothing.

As someone else said, your old covenant remains the same, however I would doubt that the mission will remain active once you leave. There are some cross covenant mission table followers if I remember correctly, so it would make sense that you cannot have those followers in two places at the same time.

Do what the MvP says, wait until the mission ends.

I believe the missions are canceled. I had one that still had a few hours left, switched Covenants, and Croman was available as soon as the table was built even though the mission shouldn’t have been done.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond.

Waiting is definitely the safe bet, so I’ll go with that and make the best of it.

I was curious about this, but there still wasn’t a specific or definitive enough answer (at least for me).

I started as many missions I could with one of my alts, switched covenants, then rejoined. All the missions had, in fact, been cancelled :frowning: additionally, it looks like the anima used to start the missions was not refunded.

I also went ahead and started the research for the first portal system, and curiously, that kept going despite the change.

Hope that helps!

Ah I’m glad I haven’t unlocked the mission table for any of the 4 covenants. Not going down that phone game gatcha hell like in bfa.

Only the Night Fae one is actually worth doing. Great alt activity though.

I mostly use it for the rep tokens and gold at this point. I found an addon that automatically starts and completes the missions for me and it’s been super helpful ever since.

I’m sure that the information was useful to others too. Thank you for your helpful post!
