HOTFIXES
October 25, 2024
Classes
- Death Knight
Resolved an issue causing Pillar of Frost’s follow up node, Frostwhelp’s Aid, to hit enemies out of line of sight.
Evoker
- Fixed an issue where Permeating Chill was not triggering from all blue spells. It will now display in the Spellbook.
Paladin
Priest
- Fixed an issue causing Sustained Potency to have its affected cooldown end early if its duration was extended while paused.
Rogue
Outlaw
- Slice and Dice, Blade Flurry, and Roll the Bones effects are now removed when a Mythic+ Keystone is activated.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Adrenaline Rush to break Stealth in unintended circumstances.
- Fixed an issue that prevented Between the Eyes from benefitting from Supercharger’s bonus while under the effects of Crackshot.
Subtlety
- Fixed an issue that prevented Dispatch and Eviscerate from dealing bonus damage when consuming a supercharged combo point from the Supercharger talent.
Shaman
Enhancement
- Resolved an issue causing Flowing Spirits to reduce the duration of Crackling Surge applied from Rolling Thunder.
Dungeons and Raids
Professions
- Jewelcrafting
Fixed a bug that prevented the Prospecting 40/40 specialization perk from providing Ambivalent Ambers as a byproduct.
- Byproducts, such as Glittering Glass and Handful of Pebbles, now drop from every Prospecting action (was a chance of Byproducts or gems).
- Slightly reduced the drop rates of gems and chance for maximum yield of Byproducts.
Developers’ notes: We’ve been closely evaluating Prospecting data and player feedback over the past few weeks. The prices for Glittering Glass, Handful of Pebbles, and their respective crafts have been significantly higher than intended, with the price of gems lower. The goal of these changes is to provide a better balance of Byproduct supply relative to their demand, without significantly impacting the value of a prospecting action.
Quests
- “The Dragon Isles Await” should, once again, be offered to players upon reaching level 10+ or by speaking to Chromie and selecting Dragonflight for your Timewalking Campaign.
WoW’s 20th Anniversary
Fixed an issue causing inconsistencies in the objectives of Dire Maul West.
Reduced the damage of Azuregos’s abilities.
Adjusted the number of maximum tanks and healers for The Codex of Chromie to allow for more damage dealers. The new values are: 2 tanks maximum, 3 healers maximum, and 15 damage maximum. At a minimum, 1 tank, 1 healer, and 8 damage dealers are required.
The Dornagal Worldsoul, Archive, and Delve quests should now always provide 2 tokens.
- Developers’ notes: These quests stick around for up to 3 weeks. Some characters would have seen 3 this week and some would see only 1 new quest for characters keeping up each week. Those with 2 or 3 saw 2 tokens on each, but after completing one of the quests, the other quests no longer showed tokens. We did this to keep things more fair, but it resulted in confusion. This change makes it per-quest across the account. Everyone should now be able to pick up the tokens from these on alts if their first Warband character completed it already, but did not get the tokens.
Blackrock Depths
- Fixed an issue that was causing leveling players to not receive gold drops from some bosses.
Items
- Fixed an issue where players playing multiple accounts could receive two Coldflame Tempest mounts. The second mount can now be deleted.
- Fixing a bug where the Mindtap Talisman had double Intellect stats and Use effects. The passive stat has been changed to Versatility.
The Guest Relations achievement formerly titled I Saved the Party and All I Got Was This Lousy Hat now rewards two lousy hats.
