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 :
PvP Titles, Elite Gear, Special Mount Rewards
By participating in Rated PvP, you are able to gain (or lose) Rating. By increasing your Rating to certain levels, you will unlock both Titles and pieces of Elite Gear, and if you really play well, even more:
- Unrated (0-1399) – No Rewards

- Gladiator (50 wins while 2400+) – <Gladiator> title and achievement, season mount
- Rank One Sinful Gladiator (top .01% of 3v3 ladder) – The achievement
Sinful Gladiator: Shadowlands Season 1 requires that you successfully end Shadowlands PvP Season 1 in the top 0.1% of the 3v3 Arena ladder, and have 150 games won on your current faction in Season 1. Earning this achievement will grant you the <Rank One> title, as well as the
Sinful Gladiator’s Soul Eater mount.
PvP Mount Rewards
Participating in PvP during Shadowlands Season 1 will earn you progress towards the seasonal mount, the /
Vicious War Spider. Once you’ve obtained the season mount, filling the progress bar again will grant a
Vicious Saddle. The Vicious Saddle can be redeemed for any Vicious mount added in previous seasons, from any expansion. All of the Shadowlands Vicious Mounts will also be obtainable at the end of the expansion.
War Mode Rewards – Deathbringer Title and Mount
As in Battle for Azeroth, you can turn on War Mode in Shadowlands and participate in PvP with the enemy faction in the open world. In addition to gaining additional experience and currency, participating in War Mode allows you to complete achievements; by completing specific Tour of Duty achievements, World Quest, and PvP achievements you will be granted the title <Deathbringer> and the Deathbringer’s Flayedwing mount.
