On the first alpha build of The War Within, we were able to take a look at the pre-patch event for the first expansion of the Worldsoul Saga, Radiant Echos! This event will have you revisit old zones in Azeroth and face memories and enemies of the past. Check out all currently known details in this post!
DISCLAIMER: The event was only partially testable on the first War Within alpha build, so several details were missing such as the currency for the event. We're documenting what could be checked out during this build.
Radiant Echo Event Basics
Every 30 minutes, a Radiant Echo will spawn in a specific zone: Dustwallow Marsh, Searing Gorge or Dragonblight. This means that for the duration of the pre-patch event, there will always be a Radiant Echo event available. These are shown with the usual even horn vignette on the zone map.
For the first phase of the event, a Coalesced Memory boss will spawn in one of the zones. As this Coalesced Memory is DPS'd down, many NPCs reflecing past memories of Azeroth will spawn, but it can be easily killed with a few people.
Once this Coalesced Memory is defeated, a second phase of the event will begin. Six events will spawn through the zone the Radiant Echo is happening at, reflecting past memories seen through your adventures in Azeroth. These will reflect events that happened in that continent, ie. Dustwallow Marsh shows Kalimdor memories, Searing Gorge shows Eastern Kingdoms memories, and Dragonblight shows Northrend memories.
These events can include things like slay enemies of the past, help settle battles or even collect famous items from the past!
Once all six events are completed, a final boss of old will spawn — Onyxia in Dustwallow Marsh, Ragnaros in Searing Gorge and the Lich King in Dragonblight. Defeating each boss will complete the Radiant Echo!
Radiant Echo Rewards
There is a vendor in each of the event locations, but items on this vendor currently don't have any currency costs. We have screenshots of the vendor tabs below. We do know the currency for this event is called Residual Memories.
It is currently unknown if there are any rewards from the event besides the vendor stuff, as mobs in the event are currently not dropping anything. What this event has to offer from the vendors:
- A Lifeless Stone Ring, purpose currently unknown;
- A 32-slot Warband-bound bag;
- A 30-slot Warband-bound Reagent bag;
- 3 Battle Pets — A whelpling, ghoul and kobold with the same effect as the Radiant Echo NPCs;
- A full set of ilvl 489, 1/8 Champion Gear — Equivalent to Normal mode raid gear in Dragonflight Season 4. This gear has an appearance similar to that of the Void-Bound gear datamined a couple patches ago.
