The Highlights of the 9.0.5 Update that You Should Know
On the official website of "World of Warcraft," the 9.0.5 update notes indicated that the update will be centered on system improvements and rewards, bug fixes, as well as Covenant and Legendary turning.
Furthermore, the California-based video game developer of "Overwatch" said that "WoW" players can now earn Valor Points through the Mythic Keystone dungeons. If you want to upgrade the Mythic Keystone gear rewards, you will need Valor in that case.
Last week, Blizzard said that a player can still earn 5,000 Valor in the first week, while for the succeeding weeks, they could earn 750. The good news is a player will not be limited anymore to 1,500 Valor per character.
Finding the Mythic Keystone dungeon is now possible before the reset, given that you have finished it. The next week, you will be allowed to access the Great Vault, which requires a same-level Keystone.

Moreover, the Veteran Stoneguard has received a 10% health reduction on Mythic difficulty and 10% melee damage reduction in all difficulties. Additionally, the Sintouched Blade attack will now cast less frequently on all tiers as well, PCGamesN reported.
Furthermore, players can have the freedom to use the Covenant of their preference. This could be in the form of their sought narrative, aesthetic, or other options so they could enjoy using their character according to their playstyle.
