Everyone needs Redeemed Souls in WoW: Shadowlands. We will tell you how to obtain them and what they are actually good for.
At the launch of WoW: Shadowlands, there is still some confusion about the many new resources introduced with the expansion. In addition to Anima, Stygia, and Soul Ash, there are also Redeemed Souls – a particularly valuable currency. But what are Redeemed Souls and how do you actually get them?
What are Redeemed Souls? The Redeemed Souls in World of Warcraft Shadowlands are a new currency necessary for advancing your Covenant Sanctum. In addition to Anima, you will also always need a certain amount of Redeemed Souls to use and upgrade new features of your Sanctum.
Can you specifically farm Redeemed Souls? No, that is not possible, at least not in the traditional sense. Redeemed Souls can only be obtained through a weekly quest. For this, you need to travel to the Maw and free souls. However, there is no such quest in the first week. Instead, you receive a one-time reward of 5 Redeemed Souls during your Covenant joining. Only with the start of the next WoW week (December 2, 2020) will there be new Redeemed Souls again.
In the second week, you can also collect 5 souls.
What are the souls needed for? This fundamentally depends on your chosen Covenant, even though many features are similar. In your Sanctum, you have different options to expand various features. For example, you can unlock the Adventure Table (essentially the new follower missions) or activate a teleportation network within your area.
All features have additional upgrade levels that require even more souls – up to 70 of them. Unlocking everything will therefore take several months and is likely to keep many players occupied until patch 9.1.
Your special Covenant feature costs 6 souls, which is why it cannot be unlocked in the first week. Therefore, this should be your focus in week 2.
What do you think about your Covenant Sanctum and the system with the souls? Is it a cool thing to look forward to or an annoying time-gating?
