World quests will be a major component of the endgame of World of Warcraft: Legion. We have the details for you.
Something to do every day – everywhere in the world
With the upcoming expansion “Legion,” the endgame content of World of Warcraft aims to be significantly more diverse than it was with Warlords of Draenor. The latest patch of the Alpha of Legion allows players to climb up to level 110. Thus, the first real endgame content will also be unlocked. One of these new features will be the “world quests,” which will be available to all players at max level.
What exactly are world quests?
The times of daily missions are over. To participate in world quests, you simply need to open the world map and see different tasks at various locations on the shattered islands. The tasks are supposed to be quite varied and appeal to as many player types as possible. Those who want can simply kill mobs and collect objects in the usual manner. If that becomes too monotonous, they can complete various PvP objectives, engage in certain pet battles, or hunt rare mobs.
Important: These missions do not rotate daily but have different cooldowns. Particularly extensive assignments remain for a week, while smaller tasks may be exchanged after just a few hours. The goal is to create a “constantly evolving map” where players always have something to do after a short time.
Envoys in the class halls
Additionally, each day an envoy visits the character’s class hall and has a specific request.
You do not have to fulfill the envoy’s tasks immediately – up to 3 envoys can “gather” in the class hall, so if you want to take them all, you only need to check the map once every 3 days. To complete these tasks, 4 world quests related to the envoy must be completed. Each time, the reward is a chest with substantial loot.
In general, the loot from world quests should not be trivial, but rather an important component of character development that remains relevant throughout the expansion. In addition to pure “power items” like armor and trinkets, there are also toys and pet battles – there is something for everyone.
Mein-MMO says: On paper, world quests sound quite good, but they also strongly remind of the events from Guild Wars 2 or the “bonus missions” that were already introduced in Warlords of Draenor. Since the activities are intended to differentiate more here and include everything from PvE to PvP to pet battles, the feature will likely appeal to more players than just mindlessly farming Apex crystals. However, it remains to be seen whether the rewards will truly remain worthwhile for a long time and that this does not just become a replacement for daily quests.
