The most difficult adventures in World of Warcraft have finally been made easier. You can now obtain soul ash more easily.
Instead of the table missions from Battle for Azeroth, there are adventure missions in your covenant sanctum in WoW: Shadowlands. This is a new type of mission where you need to tactically place your followers (“adventurers”) to succeed against enemies. It rewards you with gold, reputation, anima, and occasionally even equipment. Especially desirable is soul ash, as it is needed to craft legendary items. These missions were almost impossible until now – Blizzard has now toned them down.
What were these missions? Since the introduction of the feature, players have been offered missions that grant around 100 soul ash. This is an important resource for crafting legendary items. However, the missions were so difficult that only a few players have completed them successfully. Particularly frustrating: When a mission expired, it appeared again, but at a higher level. Therefore, it was virtually impossible to complete the mission with a team of strong adventurers, as the mission simply continued to increase in level.
What has Blizzard changed? The missions for soul ash now have a fixed level at which they appear. Players receive the first mission fixed at level 20 of their adventure. The mission stays at this level until the player has successfully completed it with adventurers. Only then is there a more difficult mission.
However, it should be noted that some covenants find the missions easier than others. Currently, the covenant of the Necrolords is quite effective in these missions and can handle them more easily. The hardest for Kyrians and Venthyr, who mainly lack effective healers to withstand the large amounts of damage.
So if you still need a bit of soul ash, check out your adventure mission table. There might now be 100 soul ash that you can easily grab.
Will the missions become easier? Over time, yes. This is mainly because players do not yet have all the adventurers, as some are unlocked through Torghast and the covenant campaign. Only when all players have all companions should the missions be about equally difficult in each covenant. The advantage of the Necrolords and the disadvantage of the Kyrians and Venthyr should then disappear by themselves.
Have you completed the soul ash mission before the nerf? Or was it way too difficult for you?
