11.2 World Quests Just Got Insane! TWW - Ghost of Karesh

World Quest Changes in Patch 11.2: What’s New and How It Works

 

Phasing vs. Non-Phasing World Quests

  • All World Quests Now Visible:
    In previous builds, you could only see world quests relevant to your current phase (phasing or non-phasing). Now, all world quests are shown on your map, but you’ll need to mouse over each to see if it’s phasing or non-phasing. For example, a quest labeled “phase diving” can only be completed while in that phase. If you’re not in the correct phase, you can’t do the quest, even though it’s visible.

  • Personal Preference:
    Some players preferred the old system where only relevant quests were shown, as it was less cluttered and less confusing.

World Quest Rotation and Frequency

  • Number and Reset:
    There are 11 world quests in Kesh, and they reset twice a week (every 3.5 days). When the reset happens, most old quests disappear and new ones appear.

  • Special Assignments:
    There are also special assignment quests in Kesh with unique rewards.

Weekly Rewards Overview (Kesh Example)

For one character, in a typical week of Kesh world quests, you can expect:

  • 750 reputation for Kesh

  • 4 pieces of adventure gear

  • ~200 Valor Stones

  • ~6,000 gold

  • 20–25 Coffee Key Shards

Note:

  • The “Force of Imitation” reward is account-wide, so alts will get Resonance Crystals instead.

  • The gold rewards are particularly high compared to previous patches.

Gear Rewards and Upgrades

  • Kesh World Quests:

    • Adventure Gear (item level 655–678)

    • Upgrade path: Valor Stones up to 665, then Valor Stones + Weather Quests to 678

  • Outside Kesh:

    • Only Explorer Gear (item level 642–665)

    • Upgraded with Valor Stones only

    • Rest of War Within zones only offer Explorer Gear as world quest rewards

Coffee Key Shards and Gold

  • Across All War Within World Quests (per week):

    • 100+ Coffee Key Shards (enough for an extra key weekly)

    • ~10,000 gold if you focus only on gold-rewarding world quests

Valor Stones: How Much and Where

  • Kesh Phase Diving Quests:

    • These can reward 80–150 Valor Stones per quest—much higher than non-phasing quests.

  • Non-Phasing Quests:

    • Typically reward 25–45 Valor Stones.

  • Luck Factor:

    • The best Valor Stone rewards are tied to phase diving quests, but not all phase diving quests give Valor Stones; some give gold, gear, or Coffee Key Shards instead. If you’re farming Valor Stones, you’ll want to prioritize phase diving quests that specifically reward them.

PvP Bonus

  • War Mode On:

    • If you toggle PvP (War Mode), you get 10% more gold and Resonance Crystals from world quests.

    • No bonus to gear, reputation, or Valor Stones.

World Quest Variety and Fun

  • New and Returning Quest Types:

    • Some world quests involve unique mechanics, like jumping into a ball and rolling over creatures, or collecting orbs to speed up.

    • Early weeks: You can’t mount in phase diving, and speed potions aren’t available, so some quests may take longer.

    • Some world quests are reminiscent of older expansions (Legion, BFA), including jumping and flying puzzles, and memory games.

Summary

Patch 11.2 bringssignificant changes and improvements to world quests:

  • All quests are visible regardless of phase, but you must check which phase is required.

  • Rewards are much better, especially in Kesh: more gold, better gear, and more upgrade materials.

  • PvP toggling gives a gold bonus.

  • World quests are more varied and engaging, with some fun mechanics and puzzles making a return.

Overall:
World quests in 11.2 are more rewarding and interesting than before, making them a worthwhile activity for both gearing and gold farming!
