Dragonflight is a new chapter for World of Warcraft that starting with the pre-patch on Oct. 25, brought numerous changes to the game. Revamped talent trees, profession overhaul, Renown remake, and quality-of-life changes, just to name a few. Designed as a progression system back in Shadowlands, Renown would award you with special bonuses, gear, and Soul Binds. In Dragonflight, Renown replaced the standard reputation practices and allowed players to gather cosmetics and profession recipes.
One of the main four factions in Dragonflight is Dragonscale Expedition, and it’s located in the Waking Shores. Each faction has its own unique rewards and ways of progressing through Renown. For Dragonscale Expedition, the main method of farming reputation, or Renown, is via Dragon Isles Artefacts.
