Where to Buy Covenant Renown in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, while you can’t directly “buy” Covenant Renown in the traditional sense with real-world money, you can acquire an item called the Broker Mark of Distinction that significantly boosts your Renown level. This item acts as a shortcut to catch up on Renown, particularly beneficial for alt characters. Here’s the key takeaway:
The Broker Mark of Distinction can be purchased from Au’Dara the Heirloom Broker located in Oribos, next to the Flight Master, at coordinates (59.6, 71.0) on the upper floor. It costs 500 Gold. This item increases the Renown of your currently active Covenant to 60. To purchase this item, you must reach 80 Renown with at least one character, unlocking it account-wide.
Renown is a vital system in Shadowlands, dictating your character’s power and unlocking various rewards, including cosmetic items, mounts, and powerful abilities. The Broker Mark of Distinction makes progressing through Renown much faster.
