Summary
World of WarcraftPatch 11.1 is adding the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club, a new Renown faction associated with the Liberation of Undermine raid. Simply by beating raid bosses on any difficulty,World of Warcraftplayers can unlock convenience, cosmetics, and even buffs that work in the Liberation of Undermine.
Undermined, the first major patch ofThe War Within, is currently available on the Public Test Realm. This update brings fans to thesubterranean capital of the Goblins inWorld of Warcraft, where they will work with the Cartels of Undermine – a new Renown track similar to those players have seen inThe War WithinandDragonflight.
However,World of Warcraftis actually adding a second Renown track in Patch 11.1. The Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club is a new faction fans can gain reputation with purely through beating bosses and certain enemies in the Liberation of Undermine raid. The Renown faction has 20 levels, each of which unlocks various benefits, including raid convenience like vendors, teleports, and skips, buffs to damage, healing, and movement speed, and a self-resurrection. Players can even earn items and collectibles through this Renown track, including a robotic T. rex mount and pet, the High Roller title, and tokens that can be exchanged for both cosmetic and progression gear.
WoW Patch 11.1 Raid Renown System Explained
Each week, a new tier of the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club will open; Renown 1 is granted automatically upon entering the raid, and Renown 2 will be available during the first week. This means it will take 19 weeks in order for fans to earn every benefit from the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club, butWorld of Warcraftplayers who start the raidlate will be able to quickly progress through the previously unlocked tiers until they reach the current cap. Killing bosses and named lieutenants in Liberation of Undermine on any difficulty provides reputation – and with twice as much as a single level of Renown found in an instance of the raid, fans can complete a tier without a full clear.

Players might notice similarities between the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club and Nerub-ar Finery, a currency that drops frombosses in the Nerub-ar Palace raid inWorld of Warcraft: The War Within, which can be turned in for a stacking damage and healing buff in future runs of the raid.World of Warcrafthopes this new Renown track is a more easily telegraphed, accessible, and thematic form of Nerub-ar Finery – a popular, yet flawed system.
If the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club is well-received, there is a strong chanceWorld of Warcraft’s future raids will get Renown tracks of their own. That said, this in-development feature is subject to change, and Blizzard wants to hear whatWorld of Warcraftfans think about this Patch 11.1 feature, what the system should look like in future updates, and if it should be kept at all.
