Greetings everyone

Our characters in game are a virtual representation of who we are in Azeroth and having more character customization options to design our characters helps us feel closer to them. Shadowlands brought a whole array of new customization options to the player races in World of Warcraft, but there were a few of the Allied Races that didn’t get as much attention as the rest.

Back at BlizzConline in February, we stated that we had no plans to add additional customization options until after Shadowlands, but after hearing the passionate feedback around the issue, we looked into whether we could implement more options sooner. We’re pleased to announce that 9.1.5 will introduce new character customization options for Nightborne and Lightforged Draenei which include: new hair styles, hair colors, facial hair, skin colors, accessories, horns, tail length, tattoos, and more!

In addition to new customization options for Lightforged Draenei and Nightborne, 9.1.5 will also introduce other cosmetics such as:

• Ear Size options for Void Elves
• New Travel Forms for Druids
• New Soulshapes for Night Fae
  
  • New Crittershapes to unlock: Soulshape into an adorable squirrel or other small critters. Note: Due to their tiny appearances, they are only usable in rested areas.
  • Option to Soulshape and Crittershape into randomly collected appearances.
• New Toys

We’ll be continuing to expand our character customization in the future, with our sights set on Highmountain Tauren next.

Stay tuned for more information.

Classes

• Warlock
  
  • The Demonic Momentum conduit will now grant the correct amount of movement speed at item level 252.
    

Dungeons and Raids

• Characters must now be level 60 to list Group Finder groups for Mythic+ dungeons or Shadowlands raids.
  
• Sanctum of Domination
  
  • Fatescribe Roh-Kalo
    
    • Fixed an issue where players who have Forgeborne Reveries (Bonesmith Heirmir Soulbind) could be targeted for Grim Portent and Runic Affinity.
      
• Sanguine Depths
  
  • Fixed an issue that unintentionally allowed players to leave the dungeon with the Sinfall Boon aura.
    

Items and Rewards

• The Soultwining Crescent and Death-Bound Shard should now grant conduits by your current specialization instead of by your class.
  
  • Developers’ note: Players will need to switch their specialization to get conduits for the other specs, just changing your Loot Specialization will not work.
    
• The Death-Bound Shard is more likely to appear on completion of the Adamant Vaults in Torghast, Tower of the Damned.
  
• The Chronicle of Lost Memories item is now also available for 2000 Cataloged Research from Archivist Roh-Suir when you have Tier 3 Research with The Archivists' Codex.
  
  • Developers’ note: Thank you for all of your feedback on alts and how difficult it can be to acquire some legendary patterns, especially from Castle Nathria now that Sanctum of Domination is out. We hope that this change can give players a new way to acquire their last few legendaries by engaging with the newer Korthia content.
    
• Increased the amount of Korthite Crystals rewarded in the Maw Assault box, Korthia weekly box, and Broker daily quests.
  
• Shards of Domination
  
  • Shard of Zed is now affected by the caster's Versatility, rather than the target’s Versatility.
    
  • Fixed an issue where Shard of Zed could deal more damage than intended when applied to specific pets.
    

Quests

• Resolved an issue with gromits during the “Think of the Critters” quest in Korthia. Hungry Gromits now anxiously await your delicious treats!
