Patch 9.0.1 Shadowlands Survival Guide
Patch 9.0.1 will go live on October 13th on NA realms and October 14th on EU realms. This expansion pre-patch marks the first step towards Shadowlands' launch, which was
delayed to later this year
. Until then, the Pre-Patch will contain the first ever
Level Squish
and Timewalking leveling experience with
Chromie Time
, in addition to another
Item Level Squish
. There are also
many class and spec changes
and
new Character Customization options
that can be used at the Barber Shop.
As with every Pre-Patch, many class changes have been implemented to give players a preview of what is to come with Shadowlands officially launches later this year. For the Shadowlands Pre-Patch this includes an
overall Level Squish
bringing the max-level down to Level 50 in the Pre-Patch, in addition to reducing health, mana and damage numbers. For classes, the
Corruption system has been removed
,
many old abilities have returned
,
burst cooldowns were taken off the GCD
, Blizzard implemented
new target caps for class abilities
and a
5 minute cooldown on Combat and Health Potions
.
Later in the Pre-patch, players will be able to participate in the
Scourge Event
which includes a new 2 week questline preparing you for the Shadowlands story, zombie invasions in capital cities, familiar bosses in Icecrown and the return of Nathanos Blightcaller.
Leveling has received a major overhaul in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch, through the Timewalking leveling experience in
Chromie Time
. While leveling, new
Relic of the Past items
can be used to upgrade the item level of any old item created by a Crafting Profession!
Patch 9.0.1 also contains many updates to cosmetics including
many new Character Customization options
which can all be applied at the updated Barber Shop and the removal of the
Exalted
requirement to unlock Allied Races. At the Barber Shop, you can now also
change your Character's Gender
and Druids can individually select which skin they want to use for each of their forms, including Artifact forms!
Artifact Weapons are now class-wide
and can be transmogged across all specs following regular transmog rules.

Blizzard has added a new leveling zone for character levels 1 - 10 called Exile's Reach. This zone will help players understand the basics of World of Warcraft.
New players will automatically go to Exile's Reach and receive tutorials from a dynamic help system, helping teach brand-new players the basics of the game.
Experienced players that are leveling alts will have the option to go to Exile's Reach without the help system or start in the traditional racial starting zone.
Death Knights and Demon Hunters will not be able to go to Exile's Reach and will participate in their own starting zone.
Exile's Reach Details
The purpose of Exile's Reach is to acquaint players new and old with the fundamentals of World of Warcraft, as well as introducing them to the essential abilities of their chosen class. Class abilities will be woven into the storyline and fabric of Exile's Reach through encounters with special NPCs and quests. In fact, each quest has a lesson to teach on common quest, class, spell, combat, and environmental mechanics.
Exile's Reach culminates in a two-boss mini dungeon that scales to your party size!
After reaching level 10, new players are sent to quest in Battle for Azeroth, while experienced players can enter Chromie Time! You can choose to level without Chromie time, but creatures and quests won't scale all the way from Level 10 through 50.
For players that already have a level 50+ character, when an alt reaches level 10, you can activate Chromie Time to quest to level 50 in any expansion of your choice!
Chromie can be found near each city's Embassy.
You can choose any expansion from Burning Crusade to Battle for Azeroth and level through the expansion.
The entire world will scale to your current level from level 10 to level 50 including creatures, quests and loot .
Once you reach level 50, you will automatically be pulled from Chromie Time after a minute but you can turn experience off if you want to finish the expansion.
Chromie Time Guide
The experience bonus from Heirlooms will be removed when Shadowlands Pre-Patch goes live. However, it's been replaced by unique Heirloom set bonuses which can be obtained from all Heirloom pieces except weapons and trinkets.
(2) Set: Rested experience consumed is reduced by 30%.
(3) Set: Increases your out-of-combat regeneration in the outdoors, normal dungeons and battlegrounds.
(4) Set: Gaining a level triggers Burst of Knowledge, dealing Holy damage to nearby enemies and granting you 40% primary stat for 2 minutes. Defeating additional enemies extends this effect, up to 2 additional minutes.
(6) Set: Rested experience consumed is reduced by an additional 30%.
Heirloom Changes in Shadowlands
Some other experience changes are coming in the Pre-Patch:
Monks' Peak of Serenity daily buff
启迪
will grant rested experience.
Insightful Rubellite is being renamed Nascent Rubellite and the 5% experience buff is being changed to a 5% swim speed buff.
远古知识药剂
.
敏捷思维药剂
, and
大瓶快速学习药水
will become Poor quality and no longer usable:
Despite all this, Shadowlands leveling should be about 60 to 70 percent faster when going from Level 1 to Level 50, when compared to the time it takes to currently go from Level 1 to Level 120. Due to the Level Squish, every new level you'll get something meaningful as well!
A new set of items are available for crafting professions in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch called
Relics of the Past
. These Relics can be crafted using materials from any expansion and are an optional crafting reagent.
Crafting Professions will now have a new
Optional Reagents
section where a Relic of the Past can be added. Doing so, will craft your item at a higher item level and increase the minimum required level. This is useful for crafting and upgrading a powerful crafted item as you level a character.
Relic of the Past I
- item level 23 and level 15
Relic of the Past II
- item level 33 and level 25
Relic of the Past III
- item level 43 and level 35
Relic of the Past IV
- item level 56 and level 45
Relic of the Past V
- item level 87 and level 50
Some interesting items to consider using a Relic of the Past on are
黑手
,
萨弗隆战锤
,
碎裂黑曜石盾牌
,
钢钳护手
or
免伤锁甲
.
The Newcomer Guide system allows veteran players to sign up to help new players. These guides will be assigned special identification icons and access to a channel to answer questions to new players.
The requirements are as follows:
Be Level 50
Complete the achievement
完成3000个任务
Complete at least two of the following achievements:
老兵三重唱
- Reach maximum level with three different classes
竞争者：“争霸艾泽拉斯”第4赛季
- Earn the rank of Rival during Battle for Azeroth Season 4.

Class Changes
All Corruption effects both beneficial and negative are being removed with the Shadowlands Pre-Patch.
MOTHER no longer sells Preserved Contaminants.
Corruption benefits on your current gear no longer function.
The negative effects of Corruption are also disabled. No more Corruption slow!
The Ny'alotha weapons have Corruption effects disabled.
In addition, the Azerite Trait
黑暗之心
now provides a flat secondary stat boost without any corruption requirements.
Corruption Removed in Shadowlands
Originally announced at Blizzcon 2019, Shadowlands
brings back many old abilities
that were pruned. Here are some of the highlights:
Certain spells that were made spec only have been returned to all specs such as
枯萎凋零
and
寒冰箭
.
Iconic abilities have returned such as
法力之潮图腾
,
镜像
,
旋风
and the old
星辰坠落
.
Popular talents and abilities have been made baseline such as
冰霜巨龙之怒
and
大法师之触
.
Shadowlands Unpruned Abilities
In Shadowlands, Area of Effect (AoE) damage spells are seeing a change to its basic philosophy. Currently in Battle for Azeroth, players can pull huge numbers of mobs with AoE abilities that will do damage to all of them. While this is rather efficient for players, Blizzard would like to see a return to a more strategic paradigm by adding hard target caps to certain AoE abilities.
To see if an ability is target capped, check the tooltip. Generally, if an ability is hard target capped, it will be listed on the tooltip.
If there is no target cap listed on the tooltip, the spell will more than likely be soft capped at 20 targets (for damaging spells) or 6 targets (for healing spells).
Find out what your class has target capped in our
Class Guides
AoE Target Caps in Shadowlands
Battle for Azeroth added many spells to the Global Cooldown (GCD). In Shadowlands, Blizzard have re-evaluated how these changes have effected the game and have removed many Burst Cooldowns from the GCD.
Burst cooldowns are defined as spells like
复仇之怒
and
奥术强化
which increase your throughput every couple minutes.
However, Blizzard agrees that Incurring a global cooldown to do nothing but enhance further button presses is unsatisfying.
Certain abilities like
恶魔变形
have a unique animation, visual effect and numerical payoff to warrant them being on the GCD.
For the full list of abilities taken off the GCD,
click here
.
Shadowlands GCD Changes
In Shadowlands, the cooldowns for Health and Combat Potions have been reworked.
Combat Potions
:
Combat Potions are no longer limited to one use per combat.
All combat potions share a 5 minute cooldown that starts immediately.
You won't need to worry about missing your Pre-Pot anymore with the changes.
On long encounters, you might be able to get 3 or 4 potions in!
Health Potions
:
Health Potions are also no longer limited to one use per combat.
All health potions (except for Healthstones) share a 5 minute cooldown that starts immediately. This cooldown is not shared with the Combat potion cooldown.
This also means that on long encounters, you could use multiple health potions.
Healthstones
:
Healthstones are unchanged and can still only be used once per combat.
They have a minute cooldown that starts once you drop combat.
Shadowlands Health Potion ChangesShadowlands Combat Potion Changes
With every expansion, Blizzard updates each spec by performing large reworks on base abilities and talents. The
9.0.1 Patch Notes
cover some of the details, but we've been keeping up to date notes of all the class changes which you can find below.

How to Play Your Spec in the Pre-Patch
which covers the biggest changes in the Pre-Patch, like AoE Target caps and new abilities. The page also includes updated Rotations, Talents, and Stats. Whether you're a new, returning, or experienced player, our Class Guides will help you get caught up quickly and get you ready for the Pre-Patch!

Updated Features
In Shadowlands, almost every part of the character customization process has been revamped. To start off, you may notice that the user interface is very different! The interface now has a more modern style, and higher quality icons for races, classes, genders and the buttons in general. Here's a quick summary of the changes:
Race, class and gender icons are higher quality and have a more modern look.
The class trial option has been moved to a checkbox in the bottom right hand corner.
You can now see if your name has been taken, prior to finalizing your character.
New dropdowns, allowing you to quickly cycle through customization options.
For existing characters, you can head to the
Barber Shop
to see what customization options are available now for your character for in-game gold! In addition to customization changes, you can now change your character's gender at the Barber Shop. There are new dropdown menus, making choosing different options for your character a lot more accessible. Some of the big improvements are:
Night Elves have a "Teldrassil" burn option as well as vine decorations for their hair and marking colors separated out from hair color.
Undead have pink hair options and the ability to hide bones.
Orcs have several layers of scars, tattoos, and war paint.
Draenei have different tail lengths and dozens of new jewelry colors.
Worgen can customize their human form separately from their worgen form.
Void Elves can access blue eyes and all the skin tones of Blood Elves, for a High Elf appearance.
Dwarves have numerous tattoo options, including Wildhammer appearances.
Tauren can wear flowers with their new hairstyles.
Humans have a large variety of facial features to represent the diversity in the real world.
Most races now have a bald option.
You can check out all new options in our customization guides and create your own character with the
Shadowlands Dressing Room
.
Wowhead Dressing Room
Blood ElfDraeneiDwarfGnomeGoblinHumanNight Elf
OrcPandarenTaurenTrollUndeadVoid ElfWorgenAllied Races
Druids can also visit the Barber Shop to customize each of their individual forms.
Forms are no longer tied directly to other customization options such as hair color.
Artifact Skins are included, so you can use the Feral Druid Artifact Form as a Restoration Druid in Cat Form as long as you've unlocked the skin.
Old Glyphs are also included such as Cheetah or Dolphin Form.
Druid Forms in Dressing Room
One of the big Transmog updates is the ability to use Legion Artifact Transmogs for all specs of your class barring regular Transmog restrictions.
You can transmog any Artifact appearance from your class, as long as it follows normal weapon transmog rules (i.e. 1-hand to 1-hand, 2-hand to 2-hand, etc).
You can mix and match the appearance of different Artifacts now, having your Main-Hand and Off-hand from different appearances, or from completely different Artifacts.
The Artifact transmog interface is being retained so you can still transmog your own spec Artifact weapons over whatever weapons you are using.
The other change is to Wands! They can now be transmogged to other main-hand weapons.
Mages and Warlocks can transmog wands to daggers and swords.
Priests can transmog wands to 1H maces and daggers.
All Allied Races will be easier to unlock in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch. The requirement to hit Exalted with the related faction has been removed, leaving the only requirement as a series of zone quests.
The requirements to unlock Allied Races in
Shadowlands
will be:
Void Elf:
