Blizzard Blue Post:
- Players who reach 80 Renown with any Covenant will be able to freely switch among any of the four Covenants without cooldown or restriction. In addition, cosmetic rewards that have been earned from a Covenant with which the player has reached 80 Renown may be used even if that character is currently a member of a different one. Both the Covenant switching and the use of cosmetic rewards will also apply to alts once the Renown threshold is reached on any character. Example: A player with a Night Fae Druid at Renown 80 can use appropriate Night Fae cosmetics on their Rogue, even if the Rogue is a member of the Necrolords.
- Conduit Energy has been removed and Conduits can now be freely swappable without any restrictions.
- Reaching 80 Renown no longer requires completing the Shadowlands Covenant Campaign.
- Unlocking your third Soulbind on any character allows alternate characters joining that same Covenant to start a quest that will immediately unlock their second and third Soulbind.
- New Covenant toys to discover.
- NIGHT FAE
- New Soulshapes to collect.
- New Crittershapes – Due to their tiny appearances, they are only usable in rested areas.
- Option to Soulshape and Crittershape into randomly collected appearances.
- SANCTUMS
- ADVENTURES
- Maw missions unlocked by maximum adventurer level appear more often and are gated by fewer requirements.
- ANIMA CONDUCTOR
- Enhancement buffs now persist past daily reset and work as a buff within all non-instance zones in Shadowlands.
- Players who have built and upgraded their covenant's Anima Conductors will now receive Grateful Offerings from all covenant Callings, based on the highest level of Anima Conductor they've upgraded.
- Anima can now be channeled to all unlocked locations each day (was one each day).
- REDEEMED SOULS
- All players will now have the 20 Redeemed Souls version of the weekly quest "Return Lost Souls" regardless of Renown level.
- Added a repeatable quest to gather 20 additional Redeemed Souls for players looking to progress their Covenant Sanctum faster.
- Rescuing Souls within Torghast, Tower of the Damned now earn credit for "Return Lost Souls."
- KYRIAN: PATH OF ASCENSION
- There is no longer a cost to enter the Path of Ascension. Medallions of Service are now only used in Ascension Crafting.
- A baseline 20% buff, Progressive Power, has been activated for all soulbinds in Path of Ascension. This buff is active by default, but can be turned off via the Brazier of Progressive Power in the arena.
- Drop rates for all Path of Ascension crafting components have been increased by 10%.
- Soul Mirror Shards now have a chance to drop from Mawsworn Kyrian in the Maw.
- NIGHT FAE: QUEENS CONSERVATORY
- All seeds now stack to 200 (was 20).
- All previous locations that award uncommon quality seeds now award rare quality seeds.
- VENTHYR: EMBER COURT
- Players can now use their influence with guests to help their friends or alternate characters.
- Once you’ve completed the Best Friend quest for a Guest, that Guest will offer a quest inside your Ember Court scenario to all other players who visit.
- These “Friend of a Friend” quests unlock a permanent 30% increase to friendship gains with that Guest, so invite a player or two to your next Ember Court and start the introductions to help them make friends faster.
- Alternate characters on your account will also be offered these quests inside their own Ember Court scenario. Word travels quickly around the court!
- Temel now sells a new favor item: The Party Herald’s Party Hat.
- This bind-on-account item can be sent to alternate characters, and permanently increases reputation gains with the Ember Court by 30% for any character that uses it.
- This item also gives Temel a new, fancier party hat and gives you an option to ask Temel to put the hat on you inside the scenario.
- You will now receive a confirmation prompt when you queue for the scenario if one of your current Guests has not RSVPed (and therefore would not attend if you start the scenario).
- SOULBINDS
- VENTHYR
- Battlefield Presence (General Draven) no longer counts nearby Stealth enemies.
