Covenant Soulbinds

As you explore the new zones of Shadowlands, you will get acquainted with 4 factions, the Covenants, who rule these lands. As the story progresses, reaching the highest level, level 60, and choosing the Covenant that is more suitable for you, you can get bonuses and enhancements from them. Each character in Shadowlands binds their soul to one of the Covenants and gains access to the talents of Soulbinds and Conduits. There are three different characters for each Covenant, and you can choose one of them. Two of your three potential Soulbinds will be available to you as soon as you have joined your Covenant and for the third one you will need to complete the Covenant Campaign. When you will have three of them, no one forbids switching between these mediums, as you wish, just one can be active, it's like with the talents of the character class.

What is Soulbinds

Each of the Soulbinds has its own talent tree and additional story quests. New talents unlock as you level up your reputation with the Covenant. Each tree has strictly fixed skills that are common for all classes and empty cells - Conduits, both of which need to be activated in order to unlock the talents that follow them. Some of the talents are mutually exclusive - only one talent can be selected per line. But there are also Conduits, which represent a variety of items that you can get during adventures in Shadowlands or doing max level content, such as Dungeons, PvP, Raids, Reputations, World Quests, etc. It gives certain simple bonuses (not related to the talents of the Soulbind itself) and passive increase stamina, damage, healing, speed of character and so on, that are specific to your class or spec.  

In addition to the fact that some Conduits are unique for each class, they are also divided into three types:

Potency Conduits improve the power of your spells and are spec or Covenant specific. There are four for each DPS and Heals spec, two for Tank specs, and four Covenant specific Conduits.

Endurance Conduits provide your class with additional defensive value through damage mitigation or increased healing. There are three Endurance Conduits available to all specs and another two available only to Tanks.

Finesse conduits provide additional utility to your class. Each class has four Finesse Conduits which are usable by all specs.

To add Conduits to the collection, replace them and change the Soulbind's talents, you need to use the Forge of Bonds located near your Covenant. Resetting talents will require Anima Reservoirs. Moreover, you can only change the Conduits once a week. Once you have collected a Conduit, it remains in your collection and is not destroyed when replaced in your Soulbind. You can select it again when you need it. 

You can unlock new rows of power beyond the first two for your Soulbinds at various Renown levels:

The third row will be available at Renown Level 3.

The fourth row of Soulbind traits unlocks at Renown Level 7 and 9.

When you reach Renown Level 10 and 13 it will unlock the fourth row of Soulbind traits.

You will gain access to the sixth row of Soulbind traits at Renown Level 18 and 21.

The seventh row becomes available at Renown Level 25, 28, and 29.

The final row of traits for all of your Soulbinds unlocks at Renown Level 30, 31, and 34.
