9.2 is now less than a week away, and Blizzard has released their patch Survival Guide, compiling information on much of the new content. If you’re looking for a nice preview of the patch, check it out here.
The video goes over the majority of new features coming in the patch, from Zereth Mortis, the Sepulcher of the First Ones Raid, the return of tier sets, the new Cypher reputation, and even the ability to equip two Legendaries.
This new Progenitor tier set is able to be earned from the Raid, as well as the other Great Vault activities such as Mythic+ and PvP, as well as a couple other methods to be unlocked during the patch. It features five pieces, with a 2-set and 4-set bonus that will grant more power to your character. The Progenitor set will even eventually have a way to later help gear your alternate characters.
The new Mythic+ Season brings the Encrypted affix, and players that achieve Season 3 Keystone Master are rewarded the Wastewarped Deathwalker mount. There are no new dungeons in 9.2, but Tazavesh, The Veiled Market, will be split into two dungeons for Mythic+ content.
PvP is also getting some love this patch, with an all new brawl and arena. The Brawl is a solo-queue only 3v3 battle featuring 2 healers and 4 DPS players that are randomly shuffled over several quick matches. The season rewards for 9.2 are the Vicious Warstalker, Vicious War Croaker, and Cosmic Gladiator’s Soul Eater.
The fight against the Jailer and his forces continues in this last chapter of the ongoing saga. Prepare to face Zovaal before he rewrites the very rules of reality.Â
Step into a strange new land—Zereth Mortis—an otherworldly location that defies all concepts of reality or physics. Meet new allies, delve into a new and lyrical language, and engage in the campaign to push back against the Jailer and his malevolent will before he reaches his end goal.
Check out the latest Survival Guide for a peek at some of the new content, features, and changes coming with Eternity’s End—the final act in the Shadowlands saga. We’ll offer a deeper look into a whole new zone, an exciting new raid, the return of Class sets, and much more!
New PvP 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. Queue for Solo Shuffle beginning February 22, and unlike other Brawls, Solo Shuffle will be permanently available and not on a rotating schedule.
Shadowlands Season 3
Lots of updates are coming to Mythic+ in Shadowlands when Season 3 arrives on March 1, including a brand-new Affix called Encrypted, and the Wastewarped Deathwalker mount for those able to earn the Season 3 Keystone Master achievement. And in PvP, you’ll be able to earn the Vicious Warstalker, Vicious War Croaker, and Cosmic Gladiator’s Soul Eater.
A new arena beckons would-be champions to test their mettle! For eons, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus honed their craft at the Maldraxxus Coliseum. Now the Arena is open to any challengers.
Also, Tazavesh, The Veiled Market Heroic Difficulty will be available in Season 3. Gather your party and discover exotic wares and strange creatures as you face off against dastardly assassins, four-armed broker guards, an infinite pirate dragon, and other enemies.
Progenitor Tier Set
Earn the new Progenitor Tier Set with two set bonuses to grant your character new abilities based on your specialization. This set includes five pieces—a helm, shoulders, chest piece, gauntlets, and leggings. The first set bonus is unlocked when two set pieces are equipped, and the second bonus is unlocked when four set pieces are equipped. Build your set by defeating bosses in the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, through all Great Vault activities, or other methods.
