Conquest of Azeroth Features
Conquest of Azeroth has many of the same Ascension systems and features that Classless WoW players enjoy: from the Hybrid Risk System to Mythic+ Dungeons, multiple Raid difficulties, and itemization changes, Heroes can look forward to many of their favorite Ascension features also being available in Conquest of Azeroth!
Hybrid Risk System
Conquest of Azeroth features the entire Hybrid Risk System so that Heroes of all playstyles can forge a community and friendships with all players on a single realm. Whether you’re a World PvP master, or prefer just exploring Azeroth, this feature ensures that everyone gets the playstyle they want without dividing the realm: anyone can pair up when they want, if they want, with everyone.
Hybrid Risk System Features
Just like on Ascension, Heroes will be prompted to select one of the following game modes:
- PvE Mode:
- A complete PvE mode, existing in the same phase as PvP mode. Heroes who select this option are completely untargetable for PvP, allowing them to play exactly like they were on a PvE realm while still enjoying the benefits of grouping, dungeons, raids, and battlegrounds with PvP players. While in the open world, you cannot be attacked unless you start something first: exactly like normal PvE mode.
- PvP Mode:
- A full PvP experience. Seek out enemies in the open world and take them down to prove your skill and forge your legacy. PvP mode functions just like a PvP server, with the bonus of existing within the same Open World Phase as PvE mode. This means you can find, group, quest, and trade with other Heroes in PvE. This helps everyone group up for quests, dungeons, and raids, without separating the realm.
- High Risk PvP:
- A separate phase and the ultimate PvP experience: slaying a Hero in High Risk lets you loot some of their items. When taking down another player in High Risk combat, they’ll drop a chest containing a few pieces of both equipped and inventory items. Additionally, while you’re out and about in the open world you’re considered a Treasure Hunter. This powerful buff lets you find Bloodforged versions of Dungeon and Raid gear off of monsters in the open world, meaning you can gear up for PvP entirely by engaging with the Open World. While leveling in High Risk, you can stumble on rare dungeon items without ever having to step inside their original dungeon. Best of all, it’s all non-soulbound, so you can buy, trade, and exchange this powerful gear however you like.
- Additionally, High Risk has a variety of features that Heroes can take advantage of, including rare materials, craftable items, and ways to get spoils.
