Hotfixes

September 13, 2023
Player versus Player

Sarannis’ Mystic Sheen effectiveness reduced by 70% in PvP.

Secrets of Azeroth

On the secret day starting with “They Are Always Listening”, you should now get the quest “A Complete Inventory” from Fangli Hoot if you do not get it automatically by investigating all 6 notes.
Updated some of the quests to address issues where players could fail to receive a clue because secrets had been started on different characters.

WoW Classic Era and Hardcore

Fixed an issue where certain hunter pets could be dismissed and attack nearby players.

September 12, 2023
Achievements

Fixed an issue that was preventing players from being properly granted the baseline Challenger, Rival, and Duelist

WoW Classic

Fixed a bug that prevented the NPC Tyrion from turning back into a quest-giver at the conclusion of the quest “The Attack!”
Hardcore Realms

The Coarse Dynamite thrown by civilian dwarf NPCs at Dun Modr should no longer cause players to become PvP flagged.
Developers’ notes: These specific NPCs had a very small chance to hit you and flag you, so it may as well be zero chance. Nonetheless, we do not intend to make changes to the general behavior of enemy faction guards in Hardcore. Players who wish to avoid being flagged for PvP should avoid enemy faction settlements and quests labeled “PvP” in the Quest Log.

Dragonriding

The Loamm Roamm Reverse Challenge silver medal should again be rewarded correctly.

Quests

Chromie now offers “No Limits”, a questline delving into Eternus’s past, without requiring the Dawn of the Infinites dungeon to be completed.
When “Stepping into the Shadows”, Maiev Shadowsong should no longer point at invisible Felflame Braziers.
Moraidormi now stops disappearing and Nozdormu will enter stealth more appropriately during the quest “Not Today, Fate.”
Demon Hunters who previously could not interact with the Control Console can now return to The Fel Hammer continue with their Order Hall campaign.
Tinkmaster Overspark is visible, and “The Legend of Mechagon” is once again available to players above level 60.

WoW Classic Era

For each player-character’s current Rank, weekly PvP contribution calculations now only award up to the amount of contribution points missing in progress towards the next Rank threshold.

Developers’ note: In higher ranks, players have been intentionally earning dishonorable kills to lower themselves below their current rank threshold in order to gain credit for an additional Rank, thereby allowing them to gain progress more quickly than a player who is just above that next Rank threshold. You now first earn up to the amount you’re missing from the Rank you start in. There should no longer be a benefit from lowering one’s rank via dishonorable kills to earn progress more quickly.

Fixed an issue that caused the Honor reward for Alterac Valley marks turn-in quests to be unintentionally doubled.

September 6, 2023
Classes

Evoker

Preservation

Rescue will no longer cause Verdant Embrace to be placed on cooldown if used while Flow State is active.

Items

The Whirring Chainblade now has its appropriate minimum level required.
Engineering

Fixed a bug that caused Chromatically Calibrated engineering goggles to require level 58 to transmogrify.

Quests

The Legend of Mechagon can now be properly completed by all characters.

WoW Classic Hardcore

The String of Ears buff earned for Mak’gora kills now persists through death.
Developers’ notes: This will allow the new Classic API to report the correct Mak’gora kill count for deceased characters.

September 5, 2023
Events

Secrets of Azeroth

Fixed an issue that was causing the quest “Using the Idol” to not show up after you completed “An Idol in Hand.”
