Heroic World Tier—coming to Showdown zones in Patch 12.0.7—has seen some updates on the most recent PTR build.
Following yesterday’s updates, Heroic World Tier now:
- Rewards more
Field Accolades - Rewards
Champion Dawncrests from World Quests - Rares now drop Champion Warbound gear
- World Boss drops one Hero track item/week, and one Myth track item after four kills
Heroic World Tier, however, does not increase 
Voidlight Marl earned.
Maren Silverwing will also offer specific slot Hero track items for 750 Field Accolades—a useful feature for upgrades you need to target specifically.
Heroic World Tier Difficulty
MrGM suggests that the difficulty of Heroic World Tier has stayed much the same, and still feels difficult even being in full Myth gear. This is raising questions over on X, over whether the reward is enough for the difficulty.
Warbound Hero track rewards would make Heroic World Tier a more viable option for gearing alts. However, the difficulty feels a little extreme for Champion Dawncrests, as at this point in the season, most players have outgrown the use of these. If the recommended item level for Heroic World Tier is already ilvl274, perhaps Blizzard should think about pulling the rewards a little more in line.
