Adjusted the minimum deposit amount to 1 copper (was 1 silver).
Fixed a bug causing unread mail to incorrectly read as from ‘Stormwind Auction House’ for all players.
Fixed a bug that was causing some mail to be delivered in about 2 minutes, rather than the intended 60-minute delivery time.
Classes
Druid
Fixed an issue where Omen of Clarity could not activate after swapping specializations.
Restoration
Nature’s Swiftness now also makes Wild Growth instant.
Hunter
Fixed a bug where Pets erroneously had 150% of their normal health. This is now corrected to 115% of their normal health.
Arcane Shot mana cost changed to 11% of base Mana for all ranks of Arcane Shot.
Developers’ notes: This means the Mana cost on all ranks will always be the same and rise gradually with level. Overall Mana cost at levels 6 and 60 are nearly identical to before this change, and slightly lower for levels in-between.
Beast Mastery
Summon Hawk Mana cost changed to 11% of base Mana for all ranks of Summon Hawk, same as Arcane Shot.
Melee damage dealt by the Hawk pet increased by about 80%.
Paladin
Redoubt can now be tracked in the Cooldown Manager.
Priest
Fixed an issue where the Revelation enchant was activated by Vampiric Embrace healing.
Holy
Fixed an issue where Holy Nova was not correctly unlearend when untalenting from the spell.
Shaman
Maelstrom Weapon can now be tracked in the Cooldown Manager.
Weapon imbues and Weapon totems can now be used at the same time.
Developers’ notes: For example, this means the Shaman can benefit from Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem at the same time, granting their attacks a chance to activate both.
Enhancement
Stormstrike damage reduced to 100% weapon damage (was 150%), and cooldown increased to 8 seconds (was 6 seconds).
Mental Dexterity: Intellect to Attack Power conversion ratio reduced to 33/66/100% (was 50/100/150%).
Maelstrom Weapon now grants 20% reduced cast time and Mana cost per application at all ranks (was 4/8/12/16/20% reduced cast time and Mana cost), and chance to activate now increases with rank and activates 6/7/8/9/10 times per minute (was 20 times per minute regardless of rank).
Maelstrom Weapon tooltip updated to display the Shaman’s % chance to activate it based on their Main Hand Weapon’s speed. For example, if the Shaman has the 5 points into Maelstrom Weapon and has a 3.6 speed weapon it will display a 60% chance to activate on swing, compared to if the Shaman is wielding a 2.0 speed weapon it will display a 33% chance to activate on swing.
Developers’ notes: Beta changes to Enhancement Shaman, alongside the Shock and Lightning Bolt changes aimed at Elemental Shaman, caused Enhancement to favor Spell Power and Intellect gear too heavily. While that gearing direction is not inherently a problem, it also pushed Enhancement away from Windfury, which we believe should remain at the heart of the specialization’s fantasy and gameplay. We want to make this adjustment now because it has significant implications for gearing in the upcoming raid. Addressing it before the raid opens will help prevent players from pursuing and winning highly contested items that could become much less valuable after a later change. With that in mind, many of these changes reverse the Beta adjustments aimed specifically at Enhancement and move the specialization in a more Windfury-friendly direction. We believe this better serves both Enhancement’s core fantasy and its intended gearing.
Warlock
Fixed a bug causing the Succubus whip sound to play much too often.
Imp base damage of the first 4 Ranks of Imp’s Firebolt increased, and base Imp Health increased by ~15%.
Voidwalker base Health increased by ~15%.
Incubus base Health increased by ~15%.
Succubus base Health increased by ~15%.
Affliction
Soul Siphon now grants increased effect to your Drain Life, Drain Soul, and Wrack spells by 4/8/12% per each of your Corruption, Siphon Life, and Bane of Agony spells active on the target, up to a maximum of 36% (was any Affliction spell).
Wrack damage reduced by 30%.
Wrack no longer increases the damage of the Warlock’s periodic effects on the target.
Wrack tears the target apart from within for 6 seconds, inflicting Shadow damage every 1 second. While channeling, your Siphon Life, Corruption, and Bane of Agony effects on the target deal their periodic damage 100% faster.
Developers’ notes: Wrack speeds up how often your periodic effects deal damage, not how long they last. Bane of Agony still lasts its full 24 seconds, but while Wrack is channeled on the target, it deals damage twice as often. Why this change? Besides being unique, interesting, and more viscerally satisfying to see numbers pop up more often as Affliction – it fixes an issue that the previous design of Wrack had. Previously, Wrack increased periodic damage by a percentage, so if you stopped channeling just before a periodic effect dealt damage, that effect gained 0 benefit from the Wrack you just ended. Now Wrack speeds up your periodic effects while channeled, and the time it skips is kept after Wrack’s channel ends or is interrupted. For example, if you channel Wrack for 1 second during a 3-second Corruption tick, Corruption advances 2 seconds instead of 1, so its next tick lands 1 second later instead of 2, even if you stopped channeling Wrack.
Destruction
Bane of Havoc – fixed a bug where this ability was not incurring a global cooldown.
Warrior
Arms
Sweeping Strikes no longer loses charges if no second target is hit.
Enemies and NPCs
Shatterspear Trolls no longer grant XP on kill. They’re dancers, not fighters!
Innkeepers now provide better responses when asked “Tell me about the dungeons I can explore”.
Items
All racial vendor mounts are now Bind-on-Pickup.
Sparklance Wand now does Arcane damage (was Nature damage).
Rage of the Storm (Shaman quest reward) now has 16 Strength (was 16 Intellect), and weapon speed decreased to 3.6 (was 3.2 seconds).
Reduced the price vendors pay for some crafted armor items from Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Blacksmithing.
Developers’ notes: The adjusted items were all bind-on-pickup items that a player was intended to craft only once for themselves.
Professions
Alchemy
Minor Arcane Elixir sell value reduced to 5 copper (was 25 copper).
Corrected the name of “Recipe: Elixir of Greater Firepower” to “Recipe: Elixir of Holy Power”, and the elixir’s aura is now called “Holy Power”.
Blacksmithing
Coarse Grinding Stone now provides skill-ups to 90 (was 75).
Cooking
Journeyman Campfire Kit now requires Cooking 90 to place, matching its recipe skill requirement (was Cooking 140).
Enchanting
Arcane Salvager now requires the Runed Golden Rod tool to craft (was Runed Truesilver Rod).
Arcane Salvager now correctly applies its disenchanting bonus to lower-level enchanters.
Enchant Boots – Lesser Spirit and Enchant Bracer – Lesser Spirit now correctly give their stated bonus to Spirit (was Resist All).
Engineering
Iron Grenades vendor price reduced to 1 silver 25 copper (was 5 silver).
Swiftstrike Shot and Swiftfeather Arrow are no longer Bind-on-Pickup.
Developers’ notes: These are not available until raids unlock, but we want to make sure this change is known, because it may influence profession choice. These were not intended to be Bind-on-Pickup.
Fishing
Fixed a condition mismatch that sometimes caused Fishing Racks to fail to provide lures to eligible players.
Developers’ notes: We are aware there are other ongoing issues with the Fishing Rack, including other situations that result in “There is no loot” errors.
Quests
Most quests level 48 and higher now additionally reward gold.
Developers’ notes: WoW Forever does not include the XP-to-gold conversion for level 60 quests that was added to original WoW just before the release of the original Burning Crusade. We felt that it would be inappropriate for WoW: Forever players to be compelled to save up quests as they approach level 60 and then not turn them in until they transformed into a great profit. This change brings high-level quests in-line with the rest of questing in WoW: Forever, with the goal of giving players a good reason to complete those quests while leveling up to 60 and thereafter. Quests that were not affected by this change include those that already reward valuable items, repeatable quests, and those that don’t provide significant rewards because they’re quick, easy, or trivial to complete.
Fixed an issue for the “Call of Water” quests where the events of the final quests would not play out properly consistently.
Fixed an issue where Sovik would not offer the quest “Chief Engineer Scooty” after selecting his gossip option.
Fixed multiple issues with the quest “Helping Hands.”
Zephras Isle – “Camping 101: Herbalism” now completes in Shen’dar Village instead of Valanaar.

Fixed an issue where Murloc Tideskimmers would not drop the Saltwater Murloc Eyes for the quest “A Taste of the Sea”. Mmmmm, murloc eyes.
World
Fixed issues causing players to be sent to an incorrect graveyard when they died.
Fixed an issue where the denizens of Pyrewood Village would not spawn around Dawn and Dusk for periods of time. Probably nothing to worry about; the villagers seem fine and love howling at night.

Idol of Ferocity no longer lists Mangle as an ability it discounts.
Feral
Fixed an issue where Feral Charge (Cat) was not putting the Druid in combat right away.

Mage
Flamestirke’s ticks on the ground no longer incorrectly consume clearcasting.

Lightning Overload now deals the correct amount of damage for Lightning Bolt.
Fixed an issue causing Improved Ghost Wolf to not hold the Night Watchman’s Torch in its mouth.
Warlock
Completing “Summon Felsteed” will correctly grant the player the appropriate riding skill.
Developers’ notes: If a player completed the quest before this hotfix, summoning the Felsteed once will grant them the apprentice riding skill, allowing them to ride other mounts if desired.
Fixed an issue allowing Incinerate to be available to non-Destruction specializations.
Warrior
Thunderclap no longer tracks its duration on the target via Cooldown Manager and now only shows its cooldown.
Dungeons
Experience rewarded for all enemy kills in dungeons increased by 50%.
Alcaz Prison
Defeating Zarla Ober will now drop loot.
Blackfathom Deeps
Fixed an issue that could cause players to become unable to release after dying in Blackfathom Deeps.
Blackrock Depths
Fixed an issue that prevented the throne room doors from opening if the party wiped while fighting Emperor Thaurissan.
Heart of the Mountain can now be looted more than once.
The Drowned City
Fixed an issue that was causing creatures inside the Drowned City to do about 30% more damage than intended.

Fixed a bug causing Nifty Stopwatch to share a cooldown with Dash, Blink, Sprint, and other movement abilities.
Zephrali Greatstaff and Fallen Dragon’s Scepter now appear correctly oriented when sheathed on the player’s back.
Gloves of Holy Might now work as intended.
Player versus Player
Removed an invisible wall that was incorrectly blocking the roof of the Alliance base in Warsong Gulch. Please be careful up there.

Races
Tauren

World
Lowered the population of players in various zones where there was significant congestion.
Developers’ notes: We’ve made this an even bigger change on the PvP ruleset, following feedback from players that they felt overcrowded in several places. We will continue to monitor how zones feel and make further adjustments as necessary.
Resolved an issue where the flight path from Camp Taurajo to Thunder Bluff could unintentionally go through objects.
It’s vitally important that the PvP rulesets in WoW: Forever have balanced factions where both factions vie for supremacy, creating memories of epic victories and stunning defeats that we all remember for years to come. While even the most extreme case in a region is currently at roughly a 55/45 split, that is not as close as we want it to be.
To better set the stage for the neck-and-neck conflicts we all want, we’ve adjusted the character creation system to better recognize the overall state of faction balance in each region’s PvP rulesets, rather than what may feel like snapshots of points in time. Our goal is to bring things as close to a 50/50 faction balance as possible.
In the short term, that means that it will become increasingly difficult to create characters on the more populous faction in each region – currently Horde on North American PvP rulesets or Alliance in EU Roleplay-PvP. As everyone settles and shifts, these may flip to the other side. We recognize that while restrictions are in place, it can be frustrating to not be able to start playing a specific faction in that moment, but this is a necessary trade-off for the long-term health of the ruleset, especially early on when guilds are being established and rivalries developed.
World of Warcraft: Forever’s PvP is at its best when the Alliance and Horde are on equal footing, and we are dedicated to helping maintain that balance so that we can all witness battles at the epic scale that has made WoW Forever PvP so memorable thus far.

Druid
Bloom will now correctly heal the target.
Fixed a bug where the tooltip of Bear Form claimed an incorrect health value increase. The functionality was correct, but the wrong value was reported.
The tooltip for Ravage reported an incorrect value for its damage, and the tooltip has been corrected. There was no change made to damage done.
Fixed the tooltip for Swiftmend to no longer incorrectly mention consuming the effect.
Mage
Fixed an issue where Mages were still learning the Research spell and then losing it upon relogging. This spell should not exist, and you should only have the Study spell after completing the relevant quest.
Fixed an issue with Arcane Blast where its duration was not properly 18 seconds.
Rogue
Shank will now display Rank 1 and Rank 2 in the tooltips.
While Boot Knife is talented, Shank will now correctly display the number of Combo Points it grants.

Searing Dagger is now only activated by spells that have a damaging component.
Professions
Leatherworking
Tanning Rack skill requirement lowered to 125 (was 140). This prevents it from being an obstacle to crafting various Leatherworking patterns that require 125 skill. Tanning Rack skill-ups lowered by 15 skill points to account for this.
Quests
Resolved an issue with the quest “Vorsha the Lasher” rudely lashing everyone in the zone.
Brewed a fresh pot of Darnassus’s finest coffee for Kerlonian Evershade so he falls asleep less often during “The Sleeper Has Awakened”. Players now also start with the Horn of Awakening item to wake him up when needed.

Additionally, Shadow Resistance requirements have been adjusted slightly to allow broader team compositions without sacrificing the iconic thematic encounter flow.

Please provide clear steps to reproduce your issue.
If possible, please provide links to videos, screenshots, or some other explanatory details. This saves a great deal of time.
Please do not ask for a Blizzard/Blue response in your posts.
Not getting a Blizzard/Blue reply does not mean that your issue is or is not a bug, and it does not mean that your post has been ignored. We read every single post in this forum. We cannot reply to all (or even most) threads.
Please keep these guidelines in mind before making a post in this forum. We intend to strictly remove unproductive posts.
How to Report Bugs:
Start with a brief summary of the issue you are reporting. Try to keep this to one sentence if possible.
Provide detailed, numbered steps listing out the actions required to reproduce the issue you encountered.
