Eternity’s End – World of Warcraft Version 9.2 PTR

RAIDS AND DUNGEONS

The Sepulcher of the First Ones is a new raid.
- The key to unlocking the Jailer’s plans is hidden deep inside the Sepulcher of the First Ones. As you chase Zovaal into the Sepulcher and battle through his armies, gather the might of the First Ones—but first, you must confront Anduin and find a method to withstand the Jailer’s deadly Domination spell.
The Veiled Market, Tazavesh
- The dungeon has been split into two halves and added to the Mythic+ dungeon rotation.

REWARDS AND ITEMS

Set of Progenitor Armor

  - Setzertauren may be located in the middle ring of Oribos to acquire the armor sets for testing the set benefits once the PTR is online.

BATTLES OF PETS

In Zereth Mortis, there are new wild pets to collect.

PLAYER VS PLAYER is a game in which two players compete against each other.

Solo Shuffle is a new brawl.

MORTIS, ZERETH The First Ones established Zereth Mortis as a workshop for the creation of afterlives. All that exists in the Shadowlands was constructed by its inhabitants, the automa. It’s an odd, unearthly place that defies all notions of reality and physics. The Jailer seeks to remake reality and bend it to his malicious will by using Zereth Mortis’ secrets.

The Enlightened Have a New Reputation
- The Enlightened are traders that have been on Zereth Mortis for quite some time. They no longer see their surroundings as commercial, but rather as hallowed spaces where they expect to fulfill a greater calling—the quest of knowledge. To succeed and protect Zereth Mortis, find common ground with The Enlightened.
The First Ones’ Cypher
- The automa of Zereth Mortis talk in a musical language that mortal races cannot understand. In this new progression system, team up with a curious automa sidekick to study the Progenitors’ forgotten language and dive deeper into the mysteries of Zereth Mortis, unlocking a slew of new zone activities, daily tasks, events, and prizes.
  - Note from the developers: Because this feature is still under development, any elements described may change.
