NEW ZONE: ZERETH MORTIS

Zereth Mortis was created by the First Ones as a workshop to create afterlives. Its denizens—the automa—have built all that exists in the Shadowlands. It is a strange, otherworldly location that defies all concepts of reality or physics. The Jailer intends to use the secrets of Zereth Mortis to reshape reality and bend it to his malevolent will.

Completing various activities throughout the zone, such as map exploration, collecting hidden treasures, and finishing quest storylines will earn you an achievement, Unlocking the Secrets, that allows you to ride flying mounts in Zereth Mortis. [LEARN MORE]

NEW FACTION: THE ENLIGHTENED

The Enlightened are brokers that arrived on Zereth Mortis a long time ago. They no longer see their world in a transactional manner, but instead they treat their dwelling as a sacred place, and hope to answer to a higher calling—the pursuit of knowledge. Find common ground with The Enlightened to succeed and defend Zereth Mortis.

---

DECODE THE CYPHER OF THE FIRST ONES

The automa of Zereth Mortis speak in a musical language that is incomprehensible to mortal races. Team up with a curious automa sidekick in this new progression system to learn the lost language of the Progenitors and delve deeper into the secrets of Zereth Mortis, unlocking an array of new zone activities, daily quests, events, and rewards.

---

PROTOFORM SYNTHESIS

The Forge of the Afterlives is a powerful instrument of creation, and all that remains of the First Ones. Just as it serves to create new realms for the Shadowlands, Synthesis Forges have been used to create the new entities that populate those realms. Now you’ll be able to use them to craft your own mounts and battle pets. [LEARN MORE]

---

NEW RAID: SEPULCHER OF THE FIRST ONES

Deep in the Sepulcher of the First Ones lies the key to unlock the Jailer's plans. Gather the power of the First Ones as you pursue Zovaal into the Sepulcher and fight through his forces—but first, you must face Anduin, and discover a way to resist the Jailer's terrifying Domination magic.

Sepulcher of the First Ones will open its doors March 1 on Normal and Heroic difficulties, and March 8 on Mythic and Raid Finder (Wing 1) difficulties. [LEARN MORE]

PROGENITOR CLASS ARMOR SET

Harness the power of the First Ones by collecting distinctive class armor sets via raids, PvP, or Mythic+ dungeons. The Progenitor armor set will grant your character new abilities based on your specialization, and includes a helm, shoulders, chest, gauntlets, and leggings with 2 set bonuses. The first set bonus is unlocked when two set pieces are equipped, and the second bonus is unlocked when four set pieces are equipped.

NEW BRAWL: SOLO SHUFFLE

The Solo Shuffle brawl pits six players (two healers, four damage dealers) against each other in exciting 3v3 Arena matches. As the name implies, you can only queue for this brawl solo. Play a series of short matches as teams are shuffled and earn rewards based on your performance. [LEARN MORE]

---

NEW ARENA: MALDRAXXUS COLISEUM

For eons, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus honed their craft at the Maldraxxus Coliseum in the Theater of Pain. Now the Arena is open to any would-be challengers—and there's no shortage of champions willing to test their mettle. Prove yourself worthy. Only the strong will survive.

SHADOWLANDS SEASON 3

Shadowlands Season 3 begins on March 1. With the new season, you'll see increased item levels for rewards and new seasonal rewards.

The new seasonal Mythic+ dungeon affix is Encrypted: Enemies throughout the dungeon possess relics of the First Ones. Destroy the relics to summon the First Ones' Automa and gain powerful bonuses, based on the order in which they were destroyed. New seasonal rewards for Mythic+ include the two new titles: "the Cryptic" and "the Cryptic Hero", and a new coloration of the Mythic+ Deathwalker mount.

NEW ATTRACTION: DARKMOON DANCE COMPETITION

The Darkmoon Faire returns on March with a brand-new attraction, the Darkmoon Dance Competition! Put on your dancing shoes and head to the dance party to compete head-to-head against a rival dancer.

ITEMS AND REWARDS

• COSMIC FLUX
  • A new currency for upgrading Runecarving legendaries, buying items off Enlightened brokers, and for using the new Creation Catalyst feature. Rewarded from a variety of activities in Shadowlands Season 3, such as defeating raid bosses, PvP, Mythic+, Torghast, Tower of the Damned, and Zereth Mortis activities.
• CREATION CATALYST
  • Once players fully uncover the secrets of the First Ones, the Creation Catalyst will become available. This will serve to help anyone who’s having bad luck on a particular armor slot, or to help alts quickly catch up later in the patch. The Creation Catalyst will use Cosmic Flux in combination with an appropriate non-set armor piece to create a Progenitor armor piece in that armor slot of the same item level. The armor you transform can be obtained from PvP, Mythic+, or other new Eternity’s End content.
    • For example: The Great Vault rewards an ilvl 265 non-set chest piece. Once the Creation Catalyst is unlocked and enough Cosmic Flux has been collected, this can be used to make an ilvl 265 Progenitor armor piece that activates the set bonus. Note: If you earn a non-set armor piece before the Creation Catalyst is unlocked, we recommend hanging on to it in case you want to convert it later.
• All conduits are now spread across all Shadowlands dungeons.
• Three new conduit upgrade items have been added:
  • Font of Ephemeral Power learns all Conduits and raises them to item level 226. Requires Friendly with The Enlightened.
