The start of Shadowlands PvP Season 1 in December of 2020 brought the return of PvP vendors, rewards, and gear, as well as a vendor for upgrading PvP-specific gear. In this guide, we’ll cover how the PvP rewards work, and show you how to get to the two new vendors.
PvP Vendors
The PvP vendors for Shadowlands are located in Oribos in the Enclave at 35,57. There are two PvP vendors: Purveyor Zo’kuul <Assessor of Conflict> and Zo’sorg <Master of Conflict>. There is also a PvP item upgrader, Agressor Zo´dash <Facilitator of Conflict>.
Shadowlands PvP Rewards
PvP Currencies
The two PvP Reward currencies in Shadowlands are:
Honor, which is earned from all activities and can be collected with a 15,000 cap. 
Conquest is only earned in Rated PvP matches, and is capped at 800 the first week. Note that the cap increases by 550 each week, and includes all Conquest points you have previously earned (even if you have spent them).
To farm Honor, try to get all your daily wins, and then participate in skirmishes. For Conquest, focus on winning a RBG, an Epic RGB, and a Brawl every day, and you should hit the 550 cap within 4-5 days.
Earning Honor
PvP activities in Shadowlands all award honor. Here’s how much Honor you can earn from the various PvP battles:
- Random Arena Skirmish Victory – 75 Honor
- Random Battleground Victory – 150 Honor
- Rated 2v2 and 3v3 Arena Victory – 150 Honor
- Rated Battleground Victory – 150 Honor
- First Win of The Day (Arena Skirmish) – 160 Honor

- First Win of The Day (Random Battleground) – 300 Honor
