WoW Shadowlands Weekly Reset Shakes Up PVP

The WoW Shadowlands Weekly Reset is coming, and with it we expect a new patch, new world boss, and new raid lockouts to go along with another chance to crack open your Great Vault!

Let's go over everything players can expect in this week's Shadowlands Weekly Reset, including when servers will go down, and when you can get back into the game.

WoW Shadowlands Weekly Reset - Feb. 9

WoW Shadowlands is approaching a new weekly reset on Tuesday, 9 February.

Server Downtime

Great Vault

At the end of the day, every player knows the highlight of the Shadowlands Weekly Reset is waiting to crack open your Great Vault for the week!

Depending on what content you cleared last week, your Great Vault gear could be massively strong with high ilvl, and you'll have more options depending on how many milestones you completed.

Just keep in mind, though, that you still only can retrieve one item from your Great Vault each week - so be selective!
