According to a post from Wowhead, thePatch 9.1.5 update forWorld of Warcraftwill not be adding the feature to skip the 9.0 Covenant Campaign storyline in the game. The post states that the feature was not testable on the PTR, and that the Covenant storyline skip won’t be added into the patch this upcoming Tuesday, November 2. It does add that players can still skip Chapters 1 and 2 of 9.0 to start Korthia and other 9.1 content, however.
However, not being able to skipthe 9.0 Covenant campaignwill lock players' characters out of certain things. This includes the campaign transmog sets that are typically received after completing certain chapters, as well as the ability for player characters to progress past Chapter 3 in the 9.1 Covenant storyline. However, in place of the Covenant storyline skip, the patch will be adding a Soulbind skip instead.
This will allow players to obtain all three available Soulbinds for theirchosen Covenant in the gameas long as they have completed the Covenant storyline for their specific covenant at least once on their account. to enable the Soulbind skip, players must join a new covenant and either complete or skip Chapter 1 of the 9.0 Covenant storyline. When they finish the questline binding them to the first Soulbind, the other two Soulbinds will show up by the Forge of Bonds with their respective binding quests as well.
To enable the Soulbind skip, players will need to log in at least once on a character that has already completed the 9.0 Covenant storyline and unlocked all three Soulbinds. According to the post, players will still need to complete the full 9.0 storyline for that character to enable the Patch 9.1 Covenant storyline for Chapter 4 and more. However, the post adds that players do not need to complete the entire storyline to attain maximum Renown, and says that all players will require is some anima and one of the 9.0 transmog sets for the long-term.
