What Are Warbands?

• The Warbands system encompasses all characters on your Battle.net account, along with their items, collections, and progression.
• Your Warband is limited to characters within a single region (Americas, Europe, Korea, Taiwan) but spans every realm and faction within that region.
• Previously shared aspects like pets, mounts, transmogs, and heirlooms are part of your Warband.
• New features include Warband-wide reputations, Renown tracks, and a Warband bank for item storage and sharing.

Goals of the Warband System

• Make playing alternate characters easier and more enjoyable.
• Allow seamless switching between characters without falling behind in progression.
• Celebrate accomplishments within your Warband, not just on individual characters.
• Clarify account-wide versus character-specific aspects in the UI.

Warband Conversions

The automatic conversion process ensures smoother progression across all your characters, regardless of faction or realm. When you log in after the pre-expansion patch, any character-specific aspects—such as reputations, Renown tracks, and item appearances—will be seamlessly converted to apply to your entire Warband. This means that your alts can benefit from the same achievements and progress as your main character, making alt play more enjoyable and efficient. Whether you’re exploring Azeroth, battling foes, or collecting rare mounts, your Warband will be there to support you!
