WoW Patch 11.1 Updates: Changes to New Raid Renown System

Overview of Changes in World of Warcraft Patch 11.1

The Puzzling Cartel Chips have been eliminated from Renown ranks 17 and 19.
Fixer-Upper Repair Stations are being removed from Rank 5 due to sufficient repair options available in the raid.
The Raid Skip feature has been upgraded from Rank 8 to Rank 5, with new mounts introduced to replace the removed rewards.

World of Warcraft is implementing significant adjustments to the raid Renown system in the upcoming Patch 11.1. Among the changes are the elimination of gear redemption tokens and repair stations, which will be substituted with new mounts and an expedited access feature to skip raids. Players can anticipate the official launch of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club on March 4, coinciding with the opening of the Liberation of Undermine raid.

Puzzling Cartel Chips removed from ranks 17 and 19.
Fixer-Upper Repair Stations eliminated from Rank 5.
Raid Skip moved from Rank 8 to Rank 5.
Thunderdrum Misfire mount introduced at Rank 8.
Darkfuse Chompactor mount introduced at Rank 17.

While the Puzzling Cartel Chips, used similarly to previous World of Warcraft redemption tokens, will be phased out, Blizzard has indicated plans to reinvigorate those rewards in future updates. The removal of Fixer-Upper Repair Stations is due to the myriad alternative repair solutions available, which renders the stations unnecessary. This restructuring aims to ensure that the launch of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club remains intuitive for seasoned raiders, aligning its functionality with familiar systems from earlier expansions.

Revised Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club Renown Structure

The changes in the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club align with the impending raid opening, which will officially take flight with Season 2. Players will see an opportunity to earn a variety of rewards, including cosmetics and boosts, as they participate in the raid content across multiple difficulty levels.

1	Access to Profession Tables and Crafting Order Specialists within the raid
2	Food consumption increased to 100% faster, access to the Busted Rune Dispenser with a chance to obtain an Augment Rune

The eagerly awaited Patch 11.1, titled Undermined, is slated for release on February 25. The new raid featuring the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club will officially launch on March 4, coinciding with the start of Season 2. Following the release, additional content will roll out, including a Story Mode and the second wing of the Raid Finder, progressively unlocking over the subsequent weeks. Players can accumulate Renown through the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club regardless of the difficulty level, creating ample opportunities to secure the newest perks and visual enhancements.
