In World of Warcraft, with Patch 7.2, the order halls can be further expanded. However, this comes at a hefty price.
Patch 7.2 is currently active on the World of Warcraft test server and already shows some changes, even though not all features are accessible yet. As promised, the next major update will allow further improvements to the artifact weapon – but also to the order hall.
And here comes the bad news for all players who have neglected to gather order hall resources in recent weeks and months: For the order halls, there will be two new upgrade levels for each class, each coming with a pretty hefty price. The first update (Tier 7) costs 20,000 resources and the second (Tier 8) even a whopping 30,000 resources – a total of 50,000 order hall resources!
This is what happens to the order halls in WoW Patch 7.2
These upgrades are not optional improvements but important enhancements that significantly impact the character – at least in the case of the “Tier 8” upgrade.
- Tier 7 – Choice 1: A new troop type that randomly counters an effect (minions, spells, obstacles) and has a 30% success chance.
- Tier 7 – Choice 2: Increases the number of champions you can actively own by 1.
- Tier 8 – Choice 1 (only option): All relics can now grant a rank bonus to a second artifact weapon ability.
Especially the last bonus is crucial, as it allows unlocking new bonuses with each relic in the artifact weapon, making the weapon even more powerful. Raiders and anyone looking to get the most out of their character will want to explore the bonus as quickly as possible – even if the research takes 14 days.
Cortyn says: While I appreciate that the order halls can be expanded further and offer new bonuses, I find it a bit boring and unimaginative that all classes have the same upgrades. Yes, the unit types have different names, but their effects are completely identical.
That is quite a pity from my perspective, as the previous bonuses – such as the wells for priests or the boss fights for demon hunters – gave the order halls a sense of individuality. Now that all new bonuses are identical, it is simply boring.
