Wards will now be pieced together to form character-centric sigils, which are placed inside of the Tome of Knowledge instead of on the armor itself. These sigils are always active, no matter what armor you're wearing, eliminating the need to carry the right wards on the right parts. Prior players who are loaded with ward gear, do not fret! Your wards will combine together to form sigils right off of the bat, so you won't be outdated when the new system hits. Even if you don't have the right wards to get a sigil, you can now unlock "pieces" of the ward by completing achievement objectives, like defeating a boss that would give you that piece of ward armor X times. So even if it never drops for you, you'll still get it eventually.

Holy jumpin! Let me know if I'm reading this properly of not. Kill a boss X times and you will actually get the PIECE OF WARD ARMOUR? Or is it just the sigil?

If its the former, let me shout out a huge hallelujah! If it's the latter, I think I'm going to have a brain aneurysm out of frustration.
