Super helpful list of 9.1 ilvls by activity

h t t p s://www.worldofmoudi.com/patch-9-1-gear-item-levels-ilvl-in-shadowlands

Normal Dungeon loot (184 ilvl)

There are 9 dungeons in Shadowlands at the moment.
8 of them are available in normal mode.

Heroic dungeon loot in Shadowlands (197 ilvl)

There are 9 dungeons in Shadowlands at the moment.
8 of them are available in heroic mode.

Mythic 0 dungeon loot in Shadowlands (210 ilvl)

There are 9 dungeons in Shadowlands at the moment.
All 9 of them are available in mythic 0 mode.

New Dungeon - Tazavesh (226 ilvl)

A new dungeon called Tazavesh, the Veiled Market is available in Mythic mode only. NOT mythic plus (for now). This dungeon is a “mega-dungeon” with ´8 bosses and drops 226 ilvl gear.

New Dungeon - Tazavesh HARD MODE (233 ilvl)

The new dungeon Tazavesh, the Veiled Market will be available in Hard Mode, all 8 bosses.

Mythic plus dungeons (213-252)

There are 9 dungeons in Shadowlands at the moment.
You can do all dungeons except for the newest one, Tazavesh, the veiled Market. This dungeon will be available as mythic 0 and hard mode.

In mythic plus, you get loot from the chest after killing last boss (you don´t get loot from every boss).

The weekly chest is instead a “Great Vault” in Shadowlands, that lets you choose between several types of gear based on what weekly goals you have completed.

The ilvl jump from Season 1 to Season 2 is 26 ilvl from what we can see on the raid rewards. Based on how the loot increase has changed from Season 1 to Season 2 in Shadowlands, this is how it might look in 9.1.

+15 236 252

The Great Vault - Weekly Reward

In Legion and BFA, we had one weekly mythic plus objective, which was a reward based on the highest key you have done during that week.

In Shadowlands, there are major changes in weekly objective rewards.

There are 3 main categories for getting a piece of gear each week.

  • Raids
  • Mythic plus
  • PvP

Each main category has 3 objectives that you can complete during the week before next weekly reset.

That makes it up to 9 weekly objectives that you can do each week.

Completing all 9, well that will let you choose between loads of gear at the weekly reset.

But the reward is still only one item gear.

The ilvl rewards is based on what difficulty you completed the goal is.

For example, a Normal Raid drops 226 ilvl and if that is thie highest difficulty you complete a raid goal that week, then The Weekly Vault will reward 226 ilvl from the raid.

However, the more objectives you complete, the more choices of gear will be offered to choose from.

Raid (10 boss raid)
Defeat 3 Sanctum of Domination Raid Bosses
Defeat 6 Sanctum of Domination Raid Bosses
Defeat 9 Sanctum of Domination Raid Bosses

Mythic dungeons
Complete 1 Mythic Dungeon
Complete 4 Mythic Dungeons
Complete 10 Mythic Dungeons

PvP
Earn 1250 Conquest Points
Earn 2500 Conquest Points
Earn 6250 Conquest Points

Raid loot in Shadowlands (187-233 ilvl)

Sanctum of Domination

Raid Finder 213 ilvl
Last 2 bosses: 220 ilvl
Normal 226 ilvl
Last 2 bosses: 233 ilvl
Heroic 239 ilvl
Last 2 bosses: 246 ilvl
Mythic 252 ilvl
Last 2 bosses: 259 ilvl

PvP Vendor (184-259)

The change they have done is adding a bonus ilvl on your gear when doing that specific content the gear came from.

PvP gear is getting a +13 ilvl of the gear when doing PvP content.

“In an upcoming build of the Chains of Domination PTR, you will notice that all Season 2 PvP items have +13 item levels in PvP. This means that in PvP situations (such as battlegrounds, arenas, and war mode), the power of these items will increase by 13 item levels.”

For example, a baseline ilvl of a PvP gear is 246 ilvl.
When doing PvP, that ilvl will scale up to 259 (added with 13 ilvl).

The ilvl jump from Season 1 to Season 2 is 26 ilvl from what we can see on the raid rewards. Based on how the loot increase has changed from Season 1 to Season 2 in Shadowlands, this is how it might look in 9.1

Unrated Gear (Honor Gear)

If the 26 ilvl increase from Season 1 to Season 2 is applied on Unrated gear as well, then it would look like this.

Rank PvE PvP
1 177 190
2 184 197
3 190 203
4 197 210
5 203 216
6 210 223
7 216 229

Rated Gear (Conquest gear)

Rating PvE PvP
Unranked 220 233
Combatant (1400-1599) 226 239
Challenger (1600-1799) 233 246
Rival (1800-2099) 240 253
Duelist (2100) 246 259

Shadowlands Dungeon Event (226 ilvl)

The event quest giver is located next to the Great Vault in Oribos.

By completing the quest Emissary of War, completing 4 mythic dungeons, you will be rewarded with a 226 ilvl equipment.

Profession Crafting (111 - 230 ilvl)

Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Engineering

Each crafted armor can be upgraded with slots (Optional reagents).

Higher ilvl crafted items can be upgraded with even several slots.

By adding special items to the slots, you can change ilvl the crafter armor with Crafter´s mark. The higher gear crafted, the higher Crafter´s Mark can be added.

Crafter´s Mark enables specific character levels to be able to wear it and can change the ilvl of the gear. Patch 9.1 comes with 2 more Crafter´s Marks.

  • Novice Crater´s Mark
    Sets the ilvl to 87 and the required level to 50.
  • Crafter´s Mark I
    Sets the ilvl to 117 and requires minimum level 53 instead of level 60.
  • Crafter´s Mark II
    Sets the ilvl to 168 and required minimum level 57 instead of level 60.
  • Crafter´s Mark III
    Sets the ilvl to 200 and required minimum level 60.
  • Crafter´s Mark of the Chained Isle
    Sets the ilvl to 230 and required minimum level 60.
    BUT, you can only wear one of these per time.

Crafted Legendary (175-262 ilvl)

In 9.1, you will be able to upgrade Legendary gear two times:

  • 249 ilvl
  • 262 ilvl

There are now in total 6 ranks of upgrading legendary gear and when reaching the last two ranks, you will not use Soul Ash anymore for upgrading them.

Instead, you will use Soul Cinders a a currency for upgrading legendaries.

Korthian Gear (200-233 ilvl)

You get certain type of gear in 9.1 that you get from Korthia. There is no specific name of this gear, so I will call it Korthian gear.

Korthian gear has the ilvl 200 and can be upgraded all the way to 233 ilvl

This a good post. Thank you.

TYVM! Bookmarked!

So instead of 26 ilvl difference, it’s now a 30 ilvl difference.
GG unrated PvP.

That all seems right, but I just wanted to point out that Honor gear iLvl starts way too low. It starts out as a downgrade from 9.0 Honor gear and all other 9.1 gear!

Also, Korthia gear upgrades cost way too much Catalogued Research.

WoW devs really want to punish alts for not doing sweaty content by making them grind for months just to arrive at the end point of 9.0 or the starting point of 9.1. Covenant gear in 9.0 was actually better because it only requires Renown and a slight anima grind.

Thanks for the amazing and informative post, very helpful!

Did they really nerf the emissary of war to grant a piece of normal loot instead of a piece of heroic loot?

That was the only emissary I ever bothered with, and I tried to time alts to get to 60 just in time to get a piece of heroic loot.

Guess I don’t have to bother with any of the emissaries in 9.1 then, assuming this is correct.

9.1 is here but have these ilvl increases not taken effect yet? I noticed after it went live yesterday, there was no change to ilvl of items being dropped. I assumed it was due to the great vault bug but that was fixed in todays maintenance and yet the ilvls are still the same as 9.0… Any idea when the ilvl changes will take place?

Deleveling 9s and 13s since 2019 :wink:

Mythic 0s give 210 ilvl gear? I thought it was like 190 ilvl gear. time to get to spamming some mythic 0s then

You’re understanding that this post is discussing ilvl changes between seasons right? In season one a zero dropped 184… In season two it will drop 210. The changes haven’t taken effect yet though in spite of 9.1 being live.

I have been looking all over to see if we can do Mythic 0s this week for 210 loot? I haven’t been be able to locate that.

No, all loot changes start next week(outside of Korthian gear)

Sweet thanks for answering. I saw that listed no where.

Yep. This wasn’t actually the 9.1 launch. It’s the 9.1 pre-patch. Next week is when 9.1 actually drops.

I think that’s because the pvp gear gets its ilvl boosted in pvp.

That is obviously wrong. It’s currently still a 213 item and it’ll be a 239 item the next time we get it.

Something is wrong with the M+ gear list or there is something wrong with the vault. M8 is rewarding in the vault 236 and M4 is rewarding 226. Oh also M10 is 239.

Thanks for the info!

check the link, it is hopefully updated
