WoW Dev Chimes, has chimed in on the matter of how the Worldsoul Memory event is currently functioning in The War Within. We have a Worldsoul Memory Event Guide available if you want to know how to unlock it, how to get to it, and any other information you may need on the event. That said, this post is mainly detailing how your score impacts how many key fragments you’re getting and that there are not-so-obvious breakpoints to strive for during the timed event to maximize your rewards.
Read on for the full post, below.
With the launch of Season 2, many players are returning to the Worldsoul Memories to help Azeroth deal with those long-ago events and earn rewards in the process!
We’d like to talk about how those rewards are given out, because there’s been some confusion about how things are awarded.
At a high level, as you defeat enemies within the Worldsoul Memory, you increase your Worldsoul Memory Score (found at the top of your screen during a Memory). When the event ends, your Worldsoul Memory Score directly translates to the level of your reward with no variability. That is, scoring 100 points in a Worldsoul Memory always gives the same level of reward.
However, not every point is the same. The first points you earn in a Worldsoul Memory are significantly more important to your score than later points. Increasing your score from 10 to 20 increases your reward much more than increasing your score from 200 to 210. There are several breakpoints, but the most significant are at 100 and 400 points. While Worldsoul Memory Score can go very high – rewards stop increasing only at 5000! – once you hit 100 points you’ve already earned more than half the total possible rewards, and at 400 points you’ve just over three-quarters of the possible rewards.
And of course, if you used the “Many Radiant Echoes” option to join the event, your rewards are multiplied by 5. The breakpoints are all the same. If you did five Worldsoul Memory events with a single Radiant Echo and earned exactly 100 points in each of them, you would earn exactly the same reward as doing a single Worldsoul Memory event using Many Radiant Echoes.
It’s worth discussing why things are set up this way. Why are the early points worth more than the later points? The reason is simple: we want players to feel like it’s okay to play how they want while still rewarding group play. Players who join Worldsoul Memories solo or in small groups will naturally earn fewer points than those who join in a full synchronized raid group. However, because these breakpoints exist, and the earlier points are worth more, the players in the small group aren’t missing out on as many rewards as they would if the rewards scaled with score completely linearly.
We hope this helps you understand how Worldsoul Memories work, and good luck collecting those Valorstones and Coffer Key Shards!
