With the constant bugs and glitches that exist in Path of Ascension, most people have exploited Mad Mortimer specifically to finish this achievement for the armor set. Even as it stands, while I consider Thran and Echtra fair bosses, the amount of difficulty and effort needed to be invested here already goes far beyond what was stated for the previous Covenants.Įven here I had to use a bug to do this, by spawning the slime in the pillar which causes Mad Mort to not enrage appropriately.Ĭovenants are the very definition of casual content, and while I strongly support the idea of another Mage Tower, that was actually designed in a way that was not only fair, but didn’t require you to farm for hours to be able to do the content and have consumables (seeing as the entry fee was a complete non issue and you could buy consumables via the AH). However, currently Mad Mortimer is quite possibly the worst designed boss out of all them and requires strong nerfs. Ecthra and Thran’iok being some of the most difficult but still remaining fair challenges to overcome. A lot of the fights are doable and many of them can be quite fun and some even feel challenging in a fair way. It likely was capped at renown 40 if it even worked as intended at all. You are also supposed to grow stronger from your renown, however, my testing of that so far has shown that to not be the case. ![]() Alternatively, you can buy a small chunk of the above mats (15-22 of each) for 5 Medallions of Service, but as you need them for the attempts anyway. These are absolutely mandatory for some bosses. This would result in about 6 attempts worth of charms. Nightforged Steel from Revendreth - 44 in 22 minutesĬalloused Bone from Maldraxxus - 78 in 22 minutes Mad Mortimer for example sometimes requiring a significant number of medallions for the RNG to line up in your favor (some have taken 150+).Īlongside this you must also farm materials from each major area:Įlysian Feathers from Bastion - 105 in 22 minutesĬhampion's Pelt from Ardenweald - 104 in 23 minutes Some bosses are notoriously difficult or incredibly glitchy. A single medallion will allow you to battle once. You must earn Medallions of Service which can come from rares and treasures that are only in Bastion. The other is earned by beating every boss with every soulbind. One set is simply earned by beating all bosses on humility. You have 3 different soulbinds that you can battle with (vehicle combat) and to earn the transmog armor you must do it on the hardest difficulty. This mini game is designed as a series of battles that increase in difficulty from easy to hard, "loyalty" to "humility". Once rank 5 you can just buy the armor for 15k anima. Use catalysts and seeds to get mounts and stuff with your garden. Takes about a month to hit exalted, then you spend 12.5k Anima for the armor set. While farming Grateful Offerings you earn reputation from doing Anima conductor related quests. ![]() A discord was made to save people time with this system which you can find here. You can also build a special abomination called Unity, and hidden WQs requirements would reward you with an armor piece if you completed it with Unity out. ![]() This took approximately 5 months of RNG, but you only had to log in once a week. You build an army of abominations which have a chance to give you a transmog related piece. ![]() Takes about 2 months from start to finish (rank 1 Cov to rank 5) Engaging with this content every day for 3 weeks will result in the full set.Ī really fun and well designed mini game where you attend to various guests and earn reputation that allows you to buy the transmog at rank 5 and exalted. Opens up random portals that you have to locate which you can loot once a day that change each week. As someone who loves transmog I have done the max Covenant sanctum mini game for all 4, as well as the other transmog, so I want to take a look at what the other Covenants have to offer before diving into the Kyrian. Path of Ascension is one of the most problematic pieces of content I have engaged with in my 17 year history with WoW in nearly every category, from casual to cutting edge raiding. Spoiler alert: he really isn't a fan of what the Kyrian have to offer (meaning the path is flawed? Sorry I had to.) So, let's get straight to it, as DesMephisto takes over! The focus here is both on the quality and difficulty of the content, but also on how long it takes to get it done in order to get all the available transmog, and we see Des compare it to the other Covenants' activities as well. We have a little bit of a guest-editorial today, as well-known speed runner and autism-awareness champion DesMephisto really wanted to talk about the Kyrian Covenant's signature activity, the Path of Ascension.
