The raid renown Dinar needs to be improved

First of all, 16 weeks to wait for one dinar is way too long.

We should receive a dinar roughly four weeks into the season.

And we should receive more than two dinar.

I would say minimum should be four

  1. Main hand weapon
  2. Trinket
  3. Trinket
  4. Rare item in raid

Not having the correct main hand or trinkets or rare item can strongly influence your character’s performance and such a large portion of the player power should not be left up to RNG.

Also I would like to note that giving players more dinar sooner doesn’t make their gear over powered because there will still be crest caps to timegate that.

(I believe crest time gating should be removed - but one step at a time here)

Giving people more dinar earlier just makes the gearing process less stressful.

I know that if the gearing process were less stressful then I would play multiple characters during the season.

I played 5 characters during dragonflight season 4 because gearing felt really good.

For the war within season one, I played one character and refused to attempt gearing for a second character since it was such a bad experience.

Mainly myth track gear is 13 ilvl above hero track gear, so your character doesn’t start earning any meaningful gear until you get myth track vaults.

And I simply didn’t have the energy to bring multiple characters up to mythic plus 10s early enough in the season so they could reasonably hope to achieve a solid ilvl by end of season.

My main has been filling all three vault slots with +10s since week one of the season and that character still doesn’t have the following:

  1. Main hand weapon with good stats at 639
  2. A neck with good stats at 639
  3. A ring with good stats at 639
  4. Never seen a belt at 639 in my vault.
  5. Missing trinket at 639.
  6. Never seen boots at 639.
  7. Never seen bracers at 639.
  8. Never seen a cloak at 639.

These are eight slots on my character’s gear set that are not yet BiS or max ilvl. There are fourteen slots total. I spent the entire season filling max slots in vault for mythic plus and still more than half of my gear isn’t max ilvl yet.

we are now roughly less than a month away from the end of the season.

Why would I want to do that on multiple characters?

Just another ham fisted “please play every week of the patch” system.

The whole track should complete by week 10.

Not only is the dinar too deep inside the renown track, I’m not a fan of having to clear about half of heroic or run alts every week to keep up when locked out on mythic boss prog.

4

That’s another good point: mythic raiders who extend lockouts have zero opportunity to finish the renown track unless they farm content they don’t need (heroic and normal raids).

5

There’s a somewhat easy solution for that. If you skip or lockout, say, heroic, then killing mugzee or gallywix should provide all the renown for the unkilled bosses preceding them.

Smashing heroic gally once a week and being caught up is a much nicer pill to swallow than having to stomp through half the raid.
