With scheduled maintenance early on November 16, we will permanently change the time of the weekly reset from 08:00 CET to 05:00 CET. This will better align the moment that each week of endgame content ends with the time that realms become unavailable due to maintenance each week.
As a reminder, this is the time at which weekly activities such as raid lockouts are reset, and the Great Vault begins granting reward items based on your successes in the previous week. After 16 November, that time will always be 05:00 CET.
Thank you very much!

PvP Item Level Changes in War Mode
In Dragonflight, we made a change to our PvP gear that grants the maximum PvP item level of a piece of gear immediately at all ranks so that players are on a more even competitive footing within instanced PvP. Due to this change, we have removed the increased item level bonus from being active in War Mode situations, and players will notice the change to item tooltips starting in this week’s Beta build. Players can continue to spend Honor to upgrade Aspirant and Gladiator gear item level outside of PvP instances, but the item level in PvP instances will be unchanged.
