With so much to keep your eye on in the World of Warcraft universe, we know it’s not easy to catch every social post or forum reply. To help you stay on top of it all, we wanted to take time to share a quick summary of the latest news and the developments we’re focused on for both Shadowlands and Classic WoW.

The team is currently most looking forward to two approaching updates: the Overlords of Outland content update for Burning Crusade Classic, and the 9.1.5 update for Shadowlands.

On September 15, Overlords of Outland will go live worldwide at 4:30 p.m. PDT, bringing back some of your favorite quests and raids from The Burning Crusade.

Meanwhile, in Shadowlands, we’ve rolled out a number of hotfixes as we prepare for the 9.1.5 update, including a change to give you more Conduit Energy daily, along with much more.

On the 9.1.5 PTR, a wide array of changes and quality-of-life improvements are being added and tweaked in real-time, more will...

There are various collectibles available to be discovered in World of Warcraft and many ways to lay claim to these mounts, pets, and toys.  Whether it's from delving into the Sanctum of Domination, perusing the wares in Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, or venturing deep into Korthia, the City of Secrets, you're sure to expand your store of treasures in the Shadowlands.

Currencies

There are many kinds of currencies used in Shadowlands. Here are just some of the types that you'll want to make sure you have at hand.

  • Gold
  • Reservoir Anima: A measure of the Anima your Covenant has at its disposal.

Hello everyone!

We hope that you’re enjoying the new customization options that are now available on the 9.1.5 PTR for Nightborne, Lightforged Draenei, and Void Elves. We’re loving all the screenshots of the new looks that have been shared so far and we appreciate all your feedback.

We want to add some more excitement to your day. Remember when we said that we’ve set our sights on Highmountain Tauren next? Well… those new customization options for Highmountain Tauren are currently targeted to be implemented in time for 9.1.5! Here’s a sneak peek at some of those options. :blush:

Hello everyone! Here are today’s hotfixes:

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021

Covenants

  • Conduit Energy now refills at a rate of 10 per day (was 1 per day).
    • Developers’ note: We are entirely removing Conduit Energy as a system in the upcoming 9.1.5 patch, but in the meantime, we wanted to hotfix in a stopgap measure that should effectively remove it as a meaningful constraint.

Items and Rewards

  • The Trueheart Spear debuff can no longer be applied more than once on a target.

Hello.

It’s confirmed that a hotfix was deployed that made Conduit energy refill at the rate of 10 per day. It was previously 1 per day.

It looks like the hotfix needed realm restarts to take effect, so now that all realms in this region have been restarted with maintenance, everyone should be seeing the results.

Please note that the tooltip has not been updated. Nonetheless, all Conduit energy should refill each day with the daily reset.
