Soulkeeper WoW Shadowlands: What is it?

The Soulkeeper is part of the upgradable aspects within the sanctum of the player’s chosen Covenant. It controls the amount of Redeemed Souls the player can earn per week, adding to the total with each implemented upgrade. Soulkeeper upgrades are available at Renown levels 15, 24, and 32.

This is what makes the Soulkeeper so important. Players are only allowed to earn a fixed amount of Redeemed Souls once per week. Redeemed Souls are the primary currency for upgrading fixtures around the sanctum. Therefore, obtaining as many as possible to unlock the base’s full potential is crucial.

Players can increase their Renown by completing additionally weekly quests that grant one full rank-up per quest—up to rank 40.
