Soulbinds

World of Warcraft has embraced Borrowed Power systems repeatedly since 2016's Legion expansion, to the point where both Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands have had multiple such systems within them.

We've received many a gear upgrade from the ancient automa and dastardly forces of the Jailer in World of Warcraft patch 9.2, but the new Zereth Mortis zone has more than just new things to kill.

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

The Chains of Domination story campaign is finished, but that doesn't mean Renown isn't still important.

Do you lack the proper tools to hit things with -- in the grand virtual World of Warcraft, I mean?

If you've been keeping up with the Shadowlands expansion -- and trying to understand all of its systems -- you might be finding yourself slightly overwhelmed.

If you're having a tough time keeping every new system coming to the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Shadowlands, it may help to think of Conduits as similar to Relics from Legion -- just as Relics modified the Artifact, Conduits modify your Soulbinds and let you customize them to a degree.

Covenants are the major story focus of World of Warcraft's upcoming Shaodowlands expansion.

A brand-new expansion means a brand-new collection of interweaving systems for end-game progression.

In Shadowlands, Conduits are a bit like gems: we'll slot them in our Soulbind trees to give ourselves buffs and abilities.
