With the upcoming patch, catching up with secondary characters in WoW will be easier – reputation requirements will be dropped.
Although there are plenty of things in World of Warcraft that are account-wide – such as achievements or the wardrobe – some things are indeed bound to specific characters. Among them is primarily quest progress and thus the reputation levels that can be achieved with various factions.
These reputation levels are required for some endgame content – the two mythical Suramar instances (The Arcway and Court of Stars) require significantly advanced reputation with the Nightborne. Additionally, unlocking world quests is done through gaining reputation. While the first character meets the requirements quite easily, this is often not the case with twinks.
Exactly this is why with Patch 7.1 the restrictions for the two instances and the unlocking of world quests will be applied account-wide. If one of your characters already has access to this content, twinks at level 110 will also gain access to it. They still need to speak briefly with Khadgar to receive the whistle.
Cortyn says: Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that Blizzard is taking this step now. After all, they’ve always emphasized in previous interviews that character progression is directly tied to a character. Furthermore, I think (personally) that the requirements for world quests and the two dungeons are actually quite lenient – from my perspective, there was no need to loosen them. But now, everyone should be satisfied, especially those for whom the quests are “totally annoying” and who find the one-time questing in the areas to be a burden.
