WoW World Boss Rotation: A Guide to the Legendary Drops and Locations



Four world bosses have been added in Patch 9.0.2. We refer to them as "old"because they were available when Shadowlands launched and two new bosses havebeen added since. The old world bosses rotate on a weekly schedule, meaning adifferent boss is available each week.

World bosses drop loot on par with Normal difficulty Castle Nathria,meaning Item Level 207. They also drop Legendary Power recipesand many Conduits that we do not list to not clutter this hub.You can find out more information about the specific powers and Conduits in ourguides.


Four world bosses will be available at Dragonflight launch anddrop Item Level 395 loot. They started spawning on December 13, 2022,when Vault of the Incarnates opened.


The only boss that hasn't spawned yet is Valinor. It will spawn next week in Bastion. The rotation will repeat itself after that, starting with the week of January 5. You can find more details and loot tables, including Legendary Power you can unlock for your class, in our world boss guide. Here are the world bosses that will spawn in the coming months:

In this guide, we will highlight all World Bosses available in Shadowlands, with their locations, loot lists, and abilities. Notable loot from World Bosses include ilvl200 Conduits to all your Covenant abilities, as well as exclusive Legendary memories.The Shadowlands are the lands beyond the mortal realm of Azeroth, where the souls of the dead travel to upon passing. The Arbiter, a being of great power, once guided these souls to one of many different afterlives. Now, all souls are being sent to the Maw, a place of eternal torment. The denizens of the Shadowlands, from the peaceful Kyrians of Bastion and the Night Fae of Ardenweald to the cunning Venthyr of Revendreth and warlike Necrolords of Maldraxxus, must now come together to stem the flow of souls.World Bosses in Season 4World bosses are also being upgraded and empowered, becoming more deadly and dropping increased item level rewards while their associated raid is empowered.While a raid is Fated, the rewards from the world boss linked to that raid will have their item levels increased.Mortanis, Oranomonos, Nurgash, and Valinor are linked to Castle Nathria, Mor'geth is linked to Sanctum of Domination, and Antros is linked to Sepulcher of the First Ones.When are World Bosses available?World bosses spawn in Shadowlands every week, during the weekly reset.
