Puzzling Cartel Chips Guide
This guide covers everything we currently know about Puzzling Cartel Chips—how they work, when they will be available, and where to spend them.
Introduction
Puzzling Cartel Chips, also referred to as 'dinars', are a special currency
introduced in Patch 11.1.5. They are designed as a catch-up mechanic and bad luck protection for gear,
essentially tokens that let players buy specific Liberation of Undermine raid pieces and Mythic+ trinkets directly from a vendor,
instead of relying on RNG and drops.
When Will Puzzling Cartel Chips Be Available?
The first 3 Puzzling Cartel Chips will become available to players on May 13 (in North America) and May 14 in Europe.
How to Earn Puzzling Cartel Chips?
Puzzling Cartel Chips are obtained from a new weekly quest that requires players to defeat 4 raid bosses
from Liberation of Undermine or complete 4 Mythic+ dungeons. As mentioned above, the quest will not be available on live servers before
May 13.
How Many Puzzling Cartel Chips Can You Earn Per Week?
The first completion of the quest will grant you 3 chips, and 1 chip per week for subsequent weeks, with a maximum of 9 Puzzling Cartel chips earnable for each character.
