In World of Warcraft: The War Within Patch 11.2, players can unlock the Manaforge Vandals renown after completing the Ghosts of K’aresh campaign Chapter 4: Shadow En Garde. This Manaforge Vandals renown is the equivalent of the Liberation of Undermine (Raid): Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club Renown — but for the Manaforge Omega raid.
There is quite a difference between both renown tracks:
- The Manaforge Vandals are outside the Manaforge Omega raid in the open world
- The Manaforge Vandals renown can be accessed from the Renown UI.
It is very convenient to be able to check the Manaforge Vandals renown tracks within the UI at any time. I never understood the Gallagio Loyalty Rewards Club renown track being accessible only when you are inside the Raid. One goes to the Raid to do Raid-y things like pew-pew. It’s a bit annoying to have to fight trash mobs or even a boss while your tank or your healer is busy browsing through the Gallagio’s Renown tracks, reading stuff.
