Dragonflight in World of Warcraft makes it easier for alts to catch up

With the introduction of the Evoker in Dragonflight, it seems to reason that individuals would want to level a Dracthyr character at some point throughout the expansion. However, the Evoker will also need to keep up with their primary character’s gear, Renown level, and reputation. Shadowlands was particularly known for hindering one’s alt’s Renown level advancement at launch, and happily, it seems like Dragonflight will not follow suit.

On paper, a Renown catch-up mechanism that seems functional and beautiful in its simplicity was one of the final adjustments made to the release version of Dragonflight’s beta. The approach preserves the hierarchy of primary and alternate characters while allowing players to invest in an account-wide unlock that doubles reputation growth for other characters of lesser Renown level.
