The new area in World of Warcraft is great, but one small detail is annoying. One that you see every 10 meters on the mini-map.
A new area in World of Warcraft is usually well received. After all, there are new quests, new enemies, and numerous fresh rewards, whether in the form of toys, mounts, housing decorations, or pets. However, the winding island has way too much of one thing, as the community finds: treasures. Because these treasures are seen incessantly, yet the rewards contained within are extremely minimal.
What is the problem with the treasures? The community is complaining about the numerous treasures that can be found on the winding island. The treasures are displayed on the mini-map with a treasure chest, but in most cases, they only contain an extremely small reward that is not even worth the time it takes to reach the treasure chest.
The treasures consist of small urns, treasure chests, or shells that you can find all over the winding island.
What do the treasures actually bring? Aside from the small mini-rewards in the form of a handful of Voidlight gravel and a small amount of healing potions, the treasures can contain additional rewards:
- Blue equipment at adventurer level that you can pass on to other characters or sell at the auction house.
- The weekly rewards for profession knowledge, which will help you improve in your chosen crafting professions.
In addition, the treasures can also be upgraded via the altar in Atal’Utek – that is, the underside of the winding island. If you expand the talent tree to the left side, you have a chance to find materials in the treasures that an NPC needs to give you further small rewards.
Not meant are the treasures in the vault of Atal’Utek. Here, the treasures also contain coins that are needed for numerous upgrades.
This is how the community discusses: In the WoW subreddit, the many small treasures are generally poorly received. Many find them annoying and distracting, especially since the actual reward does not even deserve the name “treasure”.
- “There is no greater anti-dopamine than seeing a treasure chest on the map every 3 meters, knowing that there isn’t even a chance to get something cool. I am so tired.” – zharkos
- “I strongly agree. I would prefer there to be 75% less of them, but for those to have a chance like the ‘Random Rare Spawns’, that they could actually contain something special. Maybe a cosmetic here and there.” – krind22
- “I now have 657 healing potions.” – NotSingleAnymore
However, some also note that the treasures are good for loot hunting, as they provide a lot of progress.
What is your opinion on the treasures on the winding island? Do you find them good because they refresh your healing potion supply? Or do they annoy you because they clutter your mini-map?
But you shouldn’t leave a treasure behind – but for that, you need a treasure map. Then loot with item level 305 awaits you, and that already today.
