War Within and Season of Discovery Hotfixes: December 20th

Achievements

• Khaz Algar Safari now awards Waxwick as intended.
• Fixed an issue with They’re Both Footballs?. Using each toy will now count toward achievement progress.

Classes

• Increased the amount of threat that tanks generate to help smooth out initial snap threat issues and help tanks better keep up with some of the more-threatening damage specs.
• Hunter
  • Dark Ranger – Fixed an issue with Shadow Surge dealing less damage than intended.
• Mage
  • Frostfire – Fixed an issue with Excess Frost not reducing Comet Storm / Meteorite’s cooldown the intended amount.

Creatures and NPCs

• Zexel no longer hides in the barrel when surrounded by the snapdragons.

Dungeons

• Siege of Boralus
  • Addressed an issue where Singing Steel is inflicting more damage than intended.
• Lost City of the Tol’vir
  • Fixed a bug that was causing Augh to not drop his equipment drops in Timewalking.
  • Fixed a legacy Timewalking issue where Augh and High Prophet Barim had their loot swapped in Timewalking.
• Throne of the Tides
  • Fixed a bug where the new scaling in Timewalking would not allow low level players to interact with Neptulon’s Cache.

Items

• Fixed an issue where the Earthen tabards that can be bought with Flame-Blessed Iron weren’t learnable appearances.
• Added Titan Disc Fragments as a drop for the Siren Isle quest “Archives: Seeking History”. You should be able to find them by slaying rare spawns, event bosses, and looting chests.
• Cyrce’s Circlet
  • Fixed an issue where the Fathomdweller’s Runed Citrine wasn’t updating often.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Thunderlord’s Crackling Citrine’s damage to not be reduced in PvP combat.
  • All Singing Citrines are now available.
    • Developers’ notes: This allows players to acquire all of them in the current week. The gems belonging to the goblins, Arathi, and Earthen should come from doing events on the isle that are started at the Siren Isle Command Map. After getting them once, you’ll be able to buy them and store them in your Warbank for your alts as usual. The gems that belong to enemy factions should now be purchasable from Taljori, the Tortollan vendor sitting on the large rock behind Bargus.

Quests

• Fixed an issue causing “On a Paler Horse” to not function.
• Removed the extra action button from the quest “Rock n’ Stone Revival” to avoid unfortunate overlap with the Go-Pack. The quest still has the tool button attached to the quest objective for activating the stones.
• Horde players that have faction transferred from Alliance should now be able to complete the Andorhal experience in the Western Plaguelands.

WoW’s 20th Anniversary

• Players must now be level 30 to accept and turn-in the Celebration Crate quests. Alyxx will continue to be available to turn the crate quests in after the celebration ends in a year-round location.

Season of Discovery

• The Orgrimmar Commendation Officer in Orgrimmar and the Ironforge Commendation Officer in Ironforge now sell items for Commendation Signets. The items sold by other factions (Zandalar Tribe, Timbermaw Hold, Thorium Brotherhood, Steamweedle Cartel, Cenarion Circle, Hydraxian Waterlords, and Argent Dawn) can now be purchased from these two vendors.
• The new Flask recipes from Ahn’Qiraj can now be traded to others who were eligible to loot them, with a two-hour timer.
• Hunter
  • The 4-piece T2.5 ranged Hunter set will no longer launch additional Kill Shots against player targets. The cooldown reset will still occur. Its tooltip will be updated later.
• Paladin
  • Shock and Awe’s buff is now removed when talents or gear are changed.
• Priest
  • Fixed a bug where Circle of Healing from Priests with the 4-piece set bonus from the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj was healing more targets than intended.
• Shaman
  • The benefit of the Shaman tank 4-piece set from Ahn’Qiraj will now cancel if the Shaman unequips the set.
• Warlock
  • The T2.5 damage Warlock 2-piece set bonus will no longer incorrectly grant more than 30 stacks of Shadow Vulnerability when combined with Shadowflame.
