• The graphic is no longer one large swirl. Instead, the swirl animation is only seen in the border of the circle.
• The rest of the circle is filled transparently to give a greater emphasis on where it is safe to stand.
• The border of the swirl is much brighter than the rest of the graphic.

• Nemesis Strongbox: Spawns in Delve level 4+, with rewards improving up to 4 ranks.
• Gilded Stash: Found in level 11 Delves, lootable 3 times per week for 7 Gilded Crest.

Goals of the Raid Renown System

1. Enhance storytelling and raid immersion.
2. Clearly communicate progression and its benefits.
3. Improve the overall raiding experience (e.g., reducing downtime).
4. Be accessible to players who start later in the season.

How is Renown Earned?

• Warband-wide progression, meaning it applies across all characters.
• Earned exclusively by participating in the raid, with no difficulty restrictions.
• A weekly cap of 1 Renown level, but latecomers can catch up quickly.
• The raid contains 5000 reputation points per week, obtained from defeating bosses and elite enemies.
• Catch-up system: players who fall behind will earn more reputation per kill to reach parity faster.
