Shadowlands

The First Ones used Zereth Mortis as their staging ground to order and create the Shadowlands -- perhaps a bit like a programmer might create a new zone -- so it makes sense that the newest affix would be Encrypted in more ways than one.

With the opening of Shadowlands patch 9.2 raid the Sepulcher of the First Ones, a new World Boss has spawned in Zereth Mortis for players to kill -- and more importantly, loot.

The latest patch for World of Warcraft has almost arrived, and Shadowlands patch 9.2 is taking us to Zereth Mortis, the primal workshop for all of the Shadowlands.

I mean, there's no objective winner here -- for some folks, it will be the return of tier sets, while for others, it will be getting to explore the story and lore of Zereth Mortis, and for still others it will be the new legendaries that you can wear alongside an older one, giving you twice the legendaries.

The World of Warcraft Shadowlands patch 9.2 hype train started rolling on November 5th when news an encrypted 9.2 build was placed on Blizzard's vendor content delivery network (CDN).

Skinners, and by connection Leatherworkers, have a gainful source of income in Shadowlands -- the Legendary -- and to make these, a lot of Callous Hide is needed.

A recurring stat-boosting item that appeared in every expansion from Mists of Pandaria and Legion will make its return in Shadowlands patch 9.2.

Shadowlands heads towards its denouement, as does the current story arc, which started with Legion, five-and-a-half years ago.

You may not really have paid a lot of attention to Pelagos when you first arrived in Bastion.

I find myself wondering what WoW will even look like after patch 9.2, much less what patch 10 will bring.
