WoW The War Within: How to unlock and upgrade Reshii Wraps

WoW The War Within’s patch 11.2 introduces the Reshii Wraps, an artifact cloak granted to you by the Ethereals. Over the course of the patch, you can upgrade it - increasing its powers - and through this, you can also access the Phase Diving content, should you unlock it afterward. It’s going to take some time to unlock, but it’s well worth the effort.

A baseline 694 cloak that can be customized with specific secondary stats and also grants you incredible powers in combat. You can unlock this in just a few hours of gameplay with enough focus. Here’s what you need to know about WoW’s Reshii Wraps artifact cloak.

How to unlock the Reshii Wraps in WoW The War Within

To unlock the Reshii Wraps in WoW The War Within, you need to complete the first three storylines for K’aresh (The Knife’s Edge): A Shadowy Invitation, Void Alliance, and then Desert Power. I won’t spoil any of the story, but if you just focus on the main story quests and come back to the side quests later, you can get this done in just a few hours.

Once you complete The Tabiqa quest, you’ll unlock the Reshii Wraps in WoW, your first threads to upgrade the cloak, and three Ethereal Strands - the key to unlocking Reshii Wraps’ power. It’s worth noting that there are epic versions of the Fibers as well. They can be crafted by a Tailor with Renown 5 with the K’aresh Trust faction, but you will need to put in a work order to get them.

For your alts, once you’ve reached a certain point, you can use the campaign skip, but you won’t immediately be granted the Reshii Wraps. You need to complete the Phase Diving introductory quests on your main character, and receive the achievement Become a Hero, Become a Phasediver!.

Take your alt to the new content in WoW and complete the second campaign quest, Return to the Veiled Market, to use the skip. Then, fly to Hashim at (/way 50.34 36.33), and say “I need new Reshii Wraps.”

This will also allow you to upgrade your Reshii Wraps without doing the Phase Diving quests. It's worth noting that you will also have access to your current amount of Ethereal Strands, so it appears they're shared across the Warband.

You need more Ethereal Strands to upgrade your Reshii Wraps in WoW. You’ll get three simply from completing the quest that unlocks the cloak, but to get more, you need to complete specific activities in the world. Every three Ethereal Strands you unlock will grant you the ability to upgrade your Reshii Wraps to get another power, and increase the level:

• Boon of the Reshii (694 - 701): Unlock the Ethereal Power of the Reshii Wraps, giving the cloak its Ethereal ability and allowing for Phase Diving.
• Secrets of the Depths (701 - 707): You may now access secret rooms in Delves. You may now find Phase Orbs that increase your Primary Stat by 5% for 20 minutes while Phase Diving, and these Orbs have a chance of granting you a Phase-Lost item.
• Orbs of Power (707 - 714): Enemies killed while Phase Diving now have a chance to create Phase Orbs as well. In addition, you’re now allowed to mount while Phase Diving, being granted a Phase-Lost Slateback when mounting in such a situation.
• What Lies Beyond (714 - 720): You can now see Phase-Lost Exchequer treasure chests in the world while Phase Diving.
• Regalia of the Reshii (720 - 730): Unlocks Power of the Reshii achievement, and the appearance of the Reshii Hood/Reshii Mantle.

However, there’s a catch - you cannot get more than one power a week! It’s currently time-gated and a “rolling cap,” though. So, if you wait on a character for five weeks, you can get all the powers at once, provided you have the threads.

You can get Ethereal Threads for your Reshii Wraps from the following activities:

• Completing Warrant quests in K’aresh
• Raid Bosses in Manaforge Omega
• From bosses in the War Within Season 3 dungeons
• Winning PVP matches in The War Within Season 3
• From chests at the end of Delves

When you’re ready, just head to Overlook Zo’Shuul in K’aresh and speak to Hashim (/way 50.34 36.33). He will let you upgrade. You can also see how many Ethereal Threads you have here as well. If you’re at the cap, you can’t farm anymore for that week. Hashim will also sell you the other Fibers (Rare quality, not Epic).
