Is Sanctum Superior Account Wide in World of Warcraft?
The short answer is no, sanctum upgrades and their associated benefits are not account-wide in World of Warcraft. While this might be disappointing to some, it’s a crucial aspect of character progression tied to each individual character’s journey within their chosen covenant. Understanding this distinction is key for managing expectations and planning how you engage with the covenant system across multiple characters. Let’s dive into the specifics of what is and isn’t account-wide and explore related aspects of the game.
Covenant Sanctum Upgrades: Character-Specific Progression
Understanding the Limitations
The core concept to grasp is that your Covenant Sanctum upgrades, including building enhancements and their associated benefits, are specific to the character that achieved them. This means that each character must independently progress through the sanctum upgrade achievements within their respective covenant. If you’ve painstakingly built up your Kyrian’s Path of Ascension on your main, don’t expect your new Venthyr alt to have it ready and waiting.
What This Means for Your Gameplay
This non-account-wide status has a significant impact on gameplay. If you enjoy the perks offered by certain sanctum upgrades (such as increased anima gains or specific travel options), each character will need to earn those upgrades from the ground up. It encourages you to fully experience each covenant on an individual character basis and consider each character’s goals when picking their covenant.
