War Within And Cataclysm Classic Hotfixes: September 5th

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We have a new batch of hotfixes today for retail and Cata Classic.

There’s a whole lot to check out, from class changes to Delve adjustments, quest improvements, the Earthen food changes, and more. All dungeons are now also available for leveling after the campaign has been completed on at least one character! There’s also a very specific change where the spirit mount in Draenor ghostform doesn’t have skyriding anymore!

    • Sigil of Doom now overrides Sigil of Flame while Precise Sigils is talented.

      • Fixed an issue where Empowered Legion Strike would persist through death and resummon.

Delves

  • Reduced the size of Brann’s click area, so that you can more easily click on other things Brann might be standing next to.

  • The Dawnbreaker
    • Druids can now use flight form in The Dawnbreaker dungeon while in combat.

Flying

  • Fixed an issue where flying on the Beledar’s Spawn mount could cause framerate to drop.
  • If you die in Draenor, your temporary spectral mount will no longer use skyriding.

Items

  • Lowered the rarity of the Lamplighter Supply Satchel from Epic to Uncommon to better reflect its contents, which have not changed.
  • Hanna’s Locket toy now has a longer cooldown and cannot be used in combat or dungeons.

Player versus Player

  • Paladin
    • Retribution
      • Ultimate Retribution has been removed as a PvP talent option.

Quests

  • Vanishing Stalkers now spawn much more reliably for “Lynx Rescue”.
  • “A Tide Needing Turned” should now properly show the starting location on the Dornogal map.
  • World Quests should now award Spark of War for the “Sparks of War” weekly quests.
  • Fixed an issue where, after the weekly reset, players were unable to choose a different Severed Threads Pact.

  • All “Delver’s Call” quests can now be picked up in their respective Delves and can now be acquired in Adventure Mode.
  • New “Delver’s Call” quests have been added for Earthcrawl Mines, the Waterworks, Nightfall Sanctum, and the Underkeep.

Races

  • Increased the effect of the Earthen Well Fed secondary stat bonus.
  • Belga’s gems are now edible to Earthen, with improved quality and greatly reduced costs.

Cataclysm Classic

  • Fixed issue with Guild Herald and Guild Page not being able to be learned by multiple characters of the same faction on a given account. Players affected by this bug can now buy these pets from a Guild Vendor at a discounted price. Players who were unaffected will still pay full price.
