Shadowlands PvP Vendors, Rewards, & Gear

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 550 per 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 (Rated 2v2 Arena) – 200 Honor
• First Win of The Day (Rated 3v3 Arena) – 250 Honor
• First Win of The Day (Random Battleground) – 300 Honor
• Random Epic Battleground Victory – 450 Honor
• First Win of The Day (Rated Battleground) – 850 Honor

Honor Achievements

Earning Honor also increases your Honor Level, which grants you achievements at certain thresholds, and while in War mode, changes your character badge to match your highest achievement icon :

Earning this achievement will grant you the <Rank One> title, as well as the Sinful Gladiator’s Soul Eater mount.

PvP Mount Rewards
