==New Content==

===New Zone: Korthia, City of Secrets===
  +
As part of his ongoing schemes, the Jailer has located a long-lost domain of the Shadowlandsā€”Korthia, the City of Secretsā€”and dragged it from the hidden byways of the In-Between into the Maw. In this new area, youā€™ll team up with the covenants under a unified banner to fight against the endless forces of the Jailer, and work to uncover what obscurities he seeks in this forgotten realm.
  +
  +
Unlock the secrets that Korthia has to offer:
  +
  +
*Return to the Maw and discover Korthia with the restored strength of the kyrian, necrolords, night fae, and venthyr and together strike back at the Jailer in Covenant Assaults.
  +
*Complete quests offered by daily visitors from the covenants and earn reputation for the new Deathā€™s Advance faction and reputation from visitor's associated covenant.
  +
*Recover the relic fragments scattered across Korthia in the wake of the mawsworn invasion and return them to Archivist Roh-Suir for The Archivist's Codex faction reputation and new currency, Catalogued Research. You can exchange Catalogued Research for a variety of rewards including Conduit and equipment upgrades, a flying mount, and a cosmetic appearance for your cloak.
  +
*Kel'Thuzad will occasionally dispatch Tormentors of Torghast throughout the Maw and Korthia. Defeating a Tormenter will reward you with a Tormentor's Cache brimming with Soul Cinders and can also contain powerful equipment as well as a Bahmethra Chain Link to collect and bind together to summon the eerie hand mount, the Hand of Bahmethra.
  +
*Discover new rares and treasures in Korthia and Desmotaeron.
  +
  +
===Sanctum of Domination===
  +
For eons the Jailer was bound within The Maw. Now, his endless armies gather as he prepares to enact the final stage of his grand design. In the face of annihilation, Bolvar marshals his last remaining allies to charge into the heart of Torghast and confront the Jailer where he is most powerful.
  +
  +
Breach the Sanctum of Domination and slay the formidable servants of Sylvanas and the Banished One in the epic new raid opening with Season 2.
  +
  +
===Tazavesh, the Veiled Market Mega-Dungeon===
  +
Gather your party and discover exotic wares and strange creatures in the new eight-boss Mythic difficulty mega-dungeon: Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. Set in a bazaar of the mysterious brokers, youā€™ll face off against dastardly assassins, four-armed broker guards, an infinite pirate dragon, and other enemies as you chase down a wayward broker before she can unleash the might of a stolen artifact to realize her own designs.
  +
  +
This Mythic-only instance can reward players with loot coveted by broker societyā€”including a dazzling assortment of weaponry, otherworldly pets, and a mount.
  +
  +
To gain access to Tazavesh, the Veiled Market youā€™ll complete a short series of quests beginning with the Innkeeper, Host Taā€™rela, in The Idyllia section of Oribos. In ā€œThe Allā€™ey Cat of Oribosā€ youā€™ll be asked to meet up with a mysterious contact named Alā€™dalil who will introduce you to the world of the cartels, their complicated relationships, and their propensity for ingenious wordplay. Heā€™ll act as your guide from time to time as you make your way through the dungeon.
  +
  +
===Mythic+ Rating===
  +
With this content update, players can take charge of their own progress and see how well they're performing in Mythic+ dungeons by viewing their personal Mythic+ rating in the Group Finder(I) UI under the Mythic+ Dungeons tab.
  +
  +
Your Rating increases each time you run a dungeon you haven't completed before or when you beat your own best time in a dungeon you've already completed. Completing a key provides a rating based on three factors: the level of the key, the Affixes in the key, and the run's time compared to the dungeon's timer. Now, the availability and item level of upgrades purchased with Valor are based on your character's Mythic+ Rating. With each Season, Mythic+ Ratings will be reset in the display.
  +
  +
===Flying in Shadowlands===
  +
Earn your wings and a special covenant-themed mount! Instead of challenging you with a Pathfinder achievement like in previous expansions, youā€™ll instead earn flying in Shadowlands early on within the newest chapters of your covenant campaign.
  +
  +
Upon completing a quest contained within the "The Last Sigil" storyline, youā€™ll be rewarded with Memories of Sunless Skies. This consumable item allows all characters on your account with Expert Riding Skill to fly in Bastion, Maldraxxus, Ardenweald, and Revendreth!
  +
  +
===Shadowlands Season 2===
  +
Shadowlands Season 2 begins on July 6. With the new season, you'll see increased item levels for rewards, new seasonal rewards for PvP include a new Arena title: Unchained Gladiator, a new weapon illusion, new coloration of the Gladiator mount, and new Vicious mountsā€”Alliance and Horde-themed Gorm.
  +
  +
The new seasonal Mythic+ dungeon affix is Tormented: Servants of the Jailer can be found throughout the dungeon and grant powerful boons when defeated. If a servant is not dealt with, they empower the final boss. New seasonal rewards for Mythic+ include a new title: the Tormented and a new coloration of the Mythic+ Deathwalker mount.
  +
  +
Additionally, Layer 10 in Torghast, Tower of the Damned, Tazavesh, the Veiled Market mega-dungeon and Sanctum of Domination on Normal and Heroic difficulties will all become available. On July 13, Sanctum of Domination on Mythic and Raid Finder Wing 1 difficulties will become available.

Patch 9.1.0: Chains of Domination is the first upcoming major content patch of Shadowlands, announced at BlizzConline on February 19, 2021.

It was pushed to the Public Test Realm on April 13, 2021.

Description

February 19, 2021

The traitorous Sire Denathrius has been defeated, but the power of the Maw still grows. In Chains of Domination, the upcoming major content update for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, players will delve into new depths of the Jailer's hopeless domain, seeking to understand the true nature of his malignant plans. Backed by the renewed might of the four Covenants, the champions of the Horde and the Alliance will take the fight for the Shadowlands to the seat of the Jailer's power. But the Banished One has a terrible new champion in his serviceā€”a cruel instrument of despair conscripted by Sylvanas Windrunner, capable of instilling dread into the hearts of Azeroth's heroes like no creature of the Shadowlands.

New Content

New Zone: Korthia, City of Secrets

As part of his ongoing schemes, the Jailer has located a long-lost domain of the Shadowlandsā€”Korthia, the City of Secretsā€”and dragged it from the hidden byways of the In-Between into the Maw. In this new area, youā€™ll team up with the covenants under a unified banner to fight against the endless forces of the Jailer, and work to uncover what obscurities he seeks in this forgotten realm.

Unlock the secrets that Korthia has to offer:

  • Return to the Maw and discover Korthia with the restored strength of the kyrian, necrolords, night fae, and venthyr and together strike back at the Jailer in Covenant Assaults.
  • Complete quests offered by daily visitors from the covenants and earn reputation for the new Deathā€™s Advance faction and reputation from visitor's associated covenant.
  • Recover the relic fragments scattered across Korthia in the wake of the mawsworn invasion and return them to Archivist Roh-Suir for The Archivist's Codex faction reputation and new currency, Catalogued Research. You can exchange Catalogued Research for a variety of rewards including Conduit and equipment upgrades, a flying mount, and a cosmetic appearance for your cloak.
  • Kel'Thuzad will occasionally dispatch Tormentors of Torghast throughout the Maw and Korthia. Defeating a Tormenter will reward you with a Tormentor's Cache brimming with Soul Cinders and can also contain powerful equipment as well as a Bahmethra Chain Link to collect and bind together to summon the eerie hand mount, the Hand of Bahmethra.
  • Discover new rares and treasures in Korthia and Desmotaeron.

Sanctum of Domination

For eons the Jailer was bound within The Maw. Now, his endless armies gather as he prepares to enact the final stage of his grand design. In the face of annihilation, Bolvar marshals his last remaining allies to charge into the heart of Torghast and confront the Jailer where he is most powerful.

Breach the Sanctum of Domination and slay the formidable servants of Sylvanas and the Banished One in the epic new raid opening with Season 2.

Tazavesh, the Veiled Market Mega-Dungeon

Gather your party and discover exotic wares and strange creatures in the new eight-boss Mythic difficulty mega-dungeon: Tazavesh, the Veiled Market. Set in a bazaar of the mysterious brokers, youā€™ll face off against dastardly assassins, four-armed broker guards, an infinite pirate dragon, and other enemies as you chase down a wayward broker before she can unleash the might of a stolen artifact to realize her own designs.

This Mythic-only instance can reward players with loot coveted by broker societyā€”including a dazzling assortment of weaponry, otherworldly pets, and a mount.

To gain access to Tazavesh, the Veiled Market youā€™ll complete a short series of quests beginning with the Innkeeper, Host Taā€™rela, in The Idyllia section of Oribos. In ā€œThe Allā€™ey Cat of Oribosā€ youā€™ll be asked to meet up with a mysterious contact named Alā€™dalil who will introduce you to the world of the cartels, their complicated relationships, and their propensity for ingenious wordplay. Heā€™ll act as your guide from time to time as you make your way through the dungeon.

Mythic+ Rating

With this content update, players can take charge of their own progress and see how well they're performing in Mythic+ dungeons by viewing their personal Mythic+ rating in the Group Finder(I) UI under the Mythic+ Dungeons tab.

Your Rating increases each time you run a dungeon you haven't completed before or when you beat your own best time in a dungeon you've already completed. Completing a key provides a rating based on three factors: the level of the key, the Affixes in the key, and the run's time compared to the dungeon's timer. Now, the availability and item level of upgrades purchased with Valor are based on your character's Mythic+ Rating. With each Season, Mythic+ Ratings will be reset in the display.

Flying in Shadowlands

Earn your wings and a special covenant-themed mount! Instead of challenging you with a Pathfinder achievement like in previous expansions, youā€™ll instead earn flying in Shadowlands early on within the newest chapters of your covenant campaign.

Upon completing a quest contained within the "The Last Sigil" storyline, youā€™ll be rewarded with Memories of Sunless Skies. This consumable item allows all characters on your account with Expert Riding Skill to fly in Bastion, Maldraxxus, Ardenweald, and Revendreth!

Shadowlands Season 2

Shadowlands Season 2 begins on July 6. With the new season, you'll see increased item levels for rewards, new seasonal rewards for PvP include a new Arena title: Unchained Gladiator, a new weapon illusion, new coloration of the Gladiator mount, and new Vicious mountsā€”Alliance and Horde-themed Gorm.

The new seasonal Mythic+ dungeon affix is Tormented: Servants of the Jailer can be found throughout the dungeon and grant powerful boons when defeated. If a servant is not dealt with, they empower the final boss. New seasonal rewards for Mythic+ include a new title: the Tormented and a new coloration of the Mythic+ Deathwalker mount.

Additionally, Layer 10 in Torghast, Tower of the Damned, Tazavesh, the Veiled Market mega-dungeon and Sanctum of Domination on Normal and Heroic difficulties will all become available. On July 13, Sanctum of Domination on Mythic and Raid Finder Wing 1 difficulties will become available.

At the end of the run, your score will be ranked and you will be awarded with Tower Knowledge, which can be spent at The Box of Many Things to acquire permanent **Perks and grow stronger, which will allow you to acquire permanent Perks and grow stronger in Torghast.
    • Play efficiently to become Anima Empowered, earning bonus score for how long you were Empowered during your run and a bonus to your movement speed and Haste.

    • Four new and more challenging Layers have been introduced, Layers 9ā€“12.

    • Save souls and defeat the Jailerā€™s forces to become Anima Empowered, allowing you to more effectively crush your foes through a variety of combat and score bonuses.
      • Developersā€™ note: We want to thank everyone for taking the time to provide feedback on the updates to Torghast. The team has been reading through and iterating the design based on your feedback. A specific change that weā€™ve made focuses around the common feedback that the Empowered Bar creates a feeling of time pressure that was negatively impacting the playstyle of Torghast. Weā€™ve addressed this by changing the mechanic and weā€™d love to hear your thoughts after trying out these changes:
        • The Empowered Bar is now more like a ā€œSpecialā€ meter than a ā€œStreakā€ or ā€œOn Fireā€ bar and is filled by performing actions that earn score and no longer decays over time or with deaths.
        • Once you meet a certain threshold on the Empowered Bar, an extra action button appears that you can use to become Empowered. You will remain Empowered for a duration based on the amount of bar that was filled.
        • Empowered provides a number of combat bonuses that can be increased or added at the Box of Many Things. Also, all actions while Empowered contribute to a score bonus at the end of the run.
  • New Bonus Floor: Adamant Vaults
    • Brave adventurers who make their way through Layers 9ā€“12 efficiently will now be given the option to enter the Adamant Vaults, a new floor in Torghast. There they will be challenged against the new creatures and traps that lie within for a chance at even greater rewards.
  • Torments
    • Starting at Layer 4, Torments are applied to increase the challenge of the run.
    • Torments are displayed on the HUD and provide an additional challenge to overcome.
    • Torments are selected per wing per day.
    • The existing Torments are no longer applied.
  • Blessings
    • Through Tower Knowledge, you can unlock Blessings that will provide bonuses to your run.
    • Like Torments, Blessings are selected per wing per day.
  • Soul Ash
    • Players that have unlocked Layer 9 of Torghast will now be able to transfer Soul Ash at a slight loss to another character on their account by seeking out Bonesmith Heirmir in Korthia.
    • The amount of Soul Ash that is awarded for the first completed run of the week for any given Torghast Wing and Layer has been increased.
    • Repeat runs of previously completed Torghast Wings and Layers will now award partial Soul Ash.
