Every week in World of Warcraft: The War Within, players forge a Pact with one of three members of the Severed Threads to earn renown and rewards. This guide covers the advantages of assisting the Weaver, General, or Vizier to help you decide which head of the Thread to represent.
Should you choose to aid the Weaver, General, or Vizier in WoW: TWW?
At the beginning of each week, visit Lady Vinazian in The Weaver’s Lair to forge a Pact with the Weaver, General, or Vizier.This Pact influences which of the Severed Thread leaders you earn Renown withby completing activities in Azj-Kahet during the current week.
Earning Renown with a specific Severed Thread leader unlocks exclusive quests and rewards, such as different colored mounts and various benefits in the open world.The leader you should choose to form a Pact with depends on which of these rewards appeal to you. To help you make a choice, check out all the benefits and rewards for the Weaver, General, and Vizier below.
Don’t worry if, like me, you’re a WoW completionist.you may eventually max out the Renown of every leaderand unlock all Severed Thread rewards. Mixing and matching who you side with grants you access to simultaneous rewards, aside from their respective World Buffs and Abilities.
The Weaver benefits and rewards
If you’re a fan of gold making, then the Weaver is the best leader to form a Pact with because of her exclusive World Buff. This buff passivelyincreases your Crafting and Gathering speed by either 15% or 30%, depending on your Renown level, making professions like mining considerably faster.
The General benefits and rewards
For adventurers who find themself dying a little too often, a Pact with The General may be the choice for you.His World Buff prevents you from dyingin the open world, granting an absorb shield and damage immunity for a short time before a would-be killing blow. He also grants you explosions. I like explosions.
The Vizier benefits and rewards
If you’re low on Kej, the currency of Azj-Kahet, and want to stock up on as many rewards as possible, then choose to forge a pact with The Vizier. His World Buffincreases Kej gainsby 10% or 20%, depending on your current standing. The Vizier is typically thebest Leader to start withif you aren’t hunting down a specific reward for this reason.
To start a Pact with a Severed Thread leader, you need to talk to Lady Vinazian in The Weaver’s Lair in Azj-Kahet.This Pact lasts until the next weekly resetand applies to every character on your account. Sorry, there’s no triple-dipping for alts — as convenient as that would be.
To unlock Pacts, you must complete the quest “Of Pacts and Patrons,” available for players who completeThe War Within Campaignon one character. Once the Weekly reset occurs on Tuesday in The Americas * Oceania and Wednesday in the EU, your Pact will unravel, allowing you to choose a new one or renew your previous choice.
While you choose your Pact for the week, don’t forget that thelost Hallowfall momentos questsalso reset weekly. If you need a bag for all your Azj-Kahet treasures, we also have a guide on how to earn afree 34-slot bagin The Ringing Deeps.
