Warband Leader's Mark

All players who lead Warbands can earn Leader's Marks.

Main article: Warband Leader's Mark

Warband Leader's Marks are earned by:

• Leading warbands in RvR combat, with additional Marks given to players who lead public warbands.

Warband Leader's Marks are spent to purchase a variety of things, including special Warband Leader Crown colors (which appear above your head and on the map when you lead a warband), cosmetic capes, renown potions, 30-day Exotic Mount Tokens, and exclusive titles.

War Crests

War Crests can be spent on PvP-focused armor sets and weapons.

War Crests are used to purchase PvP weapons, accessories, and armor. The general War Crest route covers those items, while some RvR weapons and accessory sets also require Genesis Crests, and Scenario weapons use War Emblems alongside War Crests. The former Ranked system is not planned to return as it was; any future version would be different. See the Scenario Guide for current status. War Crests are marked by a distinctly red color.

You can start earning War Crests at level 1. You can earn them by:

• Killing enemy players in RvR
• Playing scenarios
• Locking zones and fortresses

You can also earn bonus War Crests from Zone Lock bags in Open RvR from level 16+, with higher color bags awarding the most War Crests.

Note: You'll get bonus War Crests if you lock a Zone or Fortress from your Racial pairing. For example, a High Elf or Dark Elf locking the High Elf zone "Caledor" will get extra War Crest payouts, up to a maximum of 30.

War Emblems

Main article: War Emblem

War Emblems are earned by fighting in scenarios, and by progressing the weekly scenario event.

• The War Emblem payout from scenarios is equal to half the number of War Crests gained.
• The Weekly Scenario event grants 20, 40, and 60 War Emblems.

War Emblems are used to buy:

• Scenario weapons, which are purchased with a combination of War Crests and War Emblems.
• Potion crates, containing level-appropriate potions.

War Tokens

War Tokens are earned via Public Quests.

War Tokens are the unified PvE currency.

War Tokens are colored blue to clearly distinguish them from War Crests, and can be used for:

• Purchasing PvE armor sets
• Purchasing health and AP potions from vendors
• Purchasing crafting items (like Talisman fragments, Containers, etc.)

The higher the bag color you earn in the Public Quest, and the higher level the Public Quest, the more War Tokens you'll find within.

Genesis Crests

Main article: Genesis Crest

You'll find Genesis Crests within Zone Lock bags at level 16+.

Genesis Crests are earned from:

• Keep Conquest bags in Tier 2+ RvR. You'll get one Genesis Crest in a white bag, two Crests in a green bag, and so on, up to five Crests in a gold bag.
• Trading in a Guild Coin in either Sigmar's Hammer or The Viper Pit for 2 Genesis Crests.

Genesis Crests are used to purchase:

• Besieger and Subjugator weapons are purchased with a combination of War Crests and Genesis Crests.
• Equipping a Subjugator Weapon unlocks access to Fortress Weapons, which are also purchased for War Crests and Genesis Crests.
• The four Genesis accessory/cloak sets, which are then upgraded to Forebearer's and later Progenitor's sets by spending more Generis Crests.

Spending your War Crests, War Tokens, and Genesis Crests

Players of both factions can spend their War Crests and Genesis Crests in the southern parts of both Altdorf and The Inevitable City.

• Order players should head to the War Quarters in Southwest Altdorf.
• Destruction players should head to the Undercroft in South Inevitable City.

In Tier 1, both factions can also spend these War Crests in the Warcamps located just outside each RvR pairing.

30-Day Mount Voucher

You will be able to obtain a single Mount Voucher after reaching Renown rank 80.

This single-use Mount Voucher will let you purchase a 30-day race-specific Guild Mount from Speciality Mount Wrangler located in Altdorf's War Quarters or The Inevitable City's Stables.

To obtain this voucher, you first need to reach Renown Rank 80 with your character, after which you will be able to buy a letter from the Records Keeper located in Altdorf's Library, The Inevitable City's Library, Karaz-a-Karak's Empire Headquarters or Karak Eight Peaks's Chaos Headquarters.

After completing a short quest, you will be rewarded with multiple items, including the 30-Day Mount Voucher.

The new Ward System

Alongside the change that unified all Old Currencies, a new Ward System was introduced.

Players can now use either PvP or PvE Gear to unlock the Wards required to equip more powerful gear, allowing players to use PvE content as a way to save their War Crests for more expensive purchases down the road.

Please see the Wards Page for more information on this system.

Why was currency Unified?

• To simplify and condense many different currencies into something both new and veteran players will find straightforward and easy-to-understand.
• To allow players to play the kind of content they enjoy most while still progressing and empowering their characters - be it Scenarios, Open RvR, Dungeons, or more!
• To allow the developers to create new content, and add new equipment, without having to worry about additional currencies.

Changes

As part of the new unified currency of the March 2022 patch, Return of Reckoning now features unified PvP and PvE currencies, which can be earned by any character at all levels within the game.

• In PvP, your character will earn War Crests.
• In Scenarios and Scenario Weeklies, your character can earn War Emblems.
• In PvE Public Quests, your character will earn War Tokens.
• Subjugator Weapons require both Genesis Crests and War Crests; see the linked page for current costs. Genesis items are purchased with Genesis Crests.
