How To Unlock The Wow Emote
The Wow emote is granted from the itemBallroom Etiquette - Ample Appreciation, purchased fromTrisassantinOld Sharlayan (X:12, Y:13.3)for9 Sil’dihn Potsherds, a special currency only obtained via the corresponding Variant Dungeon, theSil’dihn Subterrane. In order to gain access to this dungeon, players will first need to complete the Main Scenario Quest “Endwalker”, followed by the side quests “An Odd Job”, offered by Osmon in Old Sharlayan (X:12, Y:13.4), then “A Key to the Past” offered by Shallow Moor next to him.
The Sil’dihn Subterrane is a special type of dungeon known as a Variant Dungeon, offering a choose-your-own-adventure-styled experience by allowing players to select their own path through an instanced dungeon. Additionally, players will be able to enter with anywhere between one and four players, with the dungeon dynamically scaling in difficulty based on the number of players present. To accommodate this, players are able to choose a selection of abilities to help fill the role of potentially missing party members, such as Variant Rampart to increase the defense of a DPS or healer, or Variant Cure to bolster the healing capabilities of a tank or DPS.
As players progress through the dungeon, they’ll come across a variety of bosses and mini-bosses, and while the specific bosses and mechanics will change depending on the chosen route,the number of Sil’dihn Potsherds rewarded for defeating each boss or mini-boss is the same, allowing players to experiment with different dungeon routes without fear of missing out on potsherds. Each mini-boss defeated reveals a personal chest rewarding one Sil’dihn Potsherd, while each final boss defeated reveals a personal chest rewarding two Sil’dihn Potsherds. As a result, players will need to completea minimum of three runsin order to afford Ballroom Etiquette - Ample Appreciation and unlock the Wow emote.
