Patch 9.0.5 is the first medium patch for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.

The patch is "focused on improving systems, rewards, Covenant and Legendary tuning, and bug fixes. Valor Points are now earnable in Mythic Keystone dungeons, and Valor can be used to upgrade new Mythic Keystone gear rewards. Changes to Covenants and Legendaries are intended to provide more gameplay options for crafting and utilizing Legendary items in specific situations, and to make sure that more players feel that the Covenant that suits their aesthetic, narrative, or other preferences for their character also feels more viable for their preferred playstyle."[1]

Updated March 8 – 6:00 p.m. PST

Adventures[]

  • Kyrian Covenant Companions
    • Kyrian Phalanx health increased by 16%.

  • Venthyr Covenant Companions
    • Venthyr Nightblade attack increased by 25%.
      • Developers' note: We're generally happy with how the changes to Venthyr in the 9.0.2 landed, but wanted to offer some additional help for players using Nightblades to fill out their compositions.
