Currencies
 | New Currency This page represents the new War Crest currency, introduced on 9 March 2022 |
The War Crest is Return of Reckoning's currency that unifies all PvP game-modes (Scenario, Realm vs Realm and Ranked) under one currency.
Introduction Patch
RvR and Scenario currencies have been unified into the War Crest currency. All the previous Scenario and RvR sets can be bought for this new currency.
To unlock buying a higher tier of armor sets you need to first acquire at least one of the sets in the previous tier. For example, to buy Obliterator armor, you must first get either the Braggart set or the Decimator set. Then the Obliterator set allows you to get the Duelist and Devastator sets and so on. Triumphant & Victorious counts as the same tier as Invader, so in that tier there's 3 possible sets, with Invader being the cheapest but also the lowest in term of item level.
Armor pieces no longer drop inside gold bags, but they contain a good amount of War Crests to buy the pieces you want.
Objectives of the Unified Currency
- Mainly it will create a smoother journey in the future, where you have one stable currency to purchase gear, potions, weapons, etc. without stacking up on lower tier currencies.
- You will no longer have your desired gears locked behind a specific content. You can play your favorite game modes, participate in your favorite activities in these game modes and get rewarded properly.
- The developers will be able to create new content, and add new equipment, without having to worry about currencies - neither will you have to worry about farming new currencies.
- We reached a point where all the currencies became mentally exhausting to current and newer players. The new currency will just make everything smoother, for the team and for the community.
Ranked Scenarios & Ranked Gear
Additionally the Triumphant Set and the Victorious Set can also be bought for War Crests as well as for Triumphant Emblems as they used to.
Ranked scenarios remain the fastest way to acquire these sets and are also required to get Triumphant Insignia for the ring. This means that Ranked Scenarios are still the key for the Ranked gear sets, but the War Crests can be used as an alternative but longer route.
Genesis Crests
Different genesis currencies are now unified into the Genesis Crest. Gold bags will drop 5 Genesis Crests, Purple bags will drop 4, Blue 3, and so on. You can now obtain specific Genesis accessories, as well as Subjugator Weapons, by spending your Genesis Crests. This change removes the previous RNG style of awarding these pieces, and allows players to save up and select the exact items they would like.
