The Kalimdor Cup will now end on September 4 (was August 28), to give players more time to experience the races.
Quests
Fixed an issue causing some players to be unable to see Merithra in the Ancient Bough to pick up the quest “Into the Azure” to begin the Azure Span storyline.
WoW Classic Hardcore
Fixed a bug that could prevent a player-character who died from being allowed to be deleted or transferred to another realm.
Brave Moonhorn will no longer attack passing Alliance players. He remains a friendly questgiver to the Horde and is now a neutral PvP target to Alliance players.
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.
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.
Adjusted Gold and Silver times for the Flashfrost Flyover Reverse Challenge race. These were inadvertently set too high.
Professions
Engineering
Engineers can now purchase Sprocket Containers from Hobart Grapplehammer in Legion Dalaran at a cost of 50 Leystone and 10 Felslate each.
Rewards
Fixed a bug that caused Zaqali Elders’ loot to drop at a lower item level than intended.
WoW Classic Era
[With Realm Restarts] Fixed a bug affecting bonus Honor awarded for Alterac Valley.
Completing “Fish in a Bucket” no longer rewards gold.
Developers’ notes: This change was originally made in patch 2.0.10 and works well in Classic Era/Hardcore, as the original quest provided an uncontested, single-faction, infinitely repeatable, low risk gold reward that does not comport with the nature of the rest of the game.
For some reason, it is not visible to every character.
My level 70 character, with 100/100 Legion Engineering with a fully completed engi questline cannot see nor purchase the container.
My level 42 character, with 1/100 Legion Engineering and 0 quests done can see and purchase the container from the vendor.
EDIT: Aaaand now I can see it on my level 70 as well. All I had to do was to find a fresh shard, where the vendor had refreshed inventory. I guess it will be available everywhere after the daily/weekly reset.
Player versus Player[with scheduled weekly maintenance]
Evoker
Disintegrate damage increased by 33% in PvP combat (was 20%).
Developers’ notes: Devastation’s killing power outside of cooldowns is lower than we’d like, so we’re increasing Disintegrate damage further to help Devastation in PvP. In future patches, we would like to further expand on this effort and move damage out of Dragonrage and into other areas.
Priest
Discipline
Penance healing is increased by 35% in PvP combat (was 15%).
Shaman
Elemental
Volcanic Surge now increases the damage of Lava Burst by 45% (was 55%) and Lightning Bolt / Chain Lightning by 50% (was 35%).
Restoration
Riptide healing is now increased by 25% in PvP Combat (was 10%).
Healing Stream Totem healing is now increased by 30% in PvP Combat (was 20%).
Warlock
Affliction
Unstable Affliction’s backlash damage increased by 35%.
Fixed a bug preventing the objective counter from increasing when survivors were rescued for “Refti Retribution”.
Fixed a bug that prevented some players from turning in the quest “The Nokhud Offensive: Founders Keepers”.
WoW Classic Era
The most-recent Alterac Valley bonus weekend has been extended. The bonus will end when the next bonus weekend (Warsong Gulch) begins on Friday, September 22.
Fixed an issue that caused the Unstoppable Growth talent to not function.
Events
Brewfest Hops no longer affect dragonriding mounts.
When dragonriding in Eastern Kingdoms Cup races, players will now be temporarily granted fully unlocked dragonriding, regardless of their current Dragonriding Talent Tree state.
WoW Classic Era
Fixed an issue that prevented Ouro from spawning after a post-wipe reset.
A number of creatures on Mechagon Island have been scaled down so that they are no longer lethal to lower-level players.
Bragdur Battlebrew again offers the Horde version of “Brew of the Month” Club Membership Form, as intended.
Lord Andestrasz has been found in Waking Shores, and should no longer be invisible to some players.
WoW Classic
Hardcore
On Hardcore realms, mind control spells can not be used during normal duels.
Developers’ notes: There should be no change to duels on non-Hardcore realms, and this should not prevent players from using mind control spells during Mak’gora duels to the death.
Added an identifier that will show you the player class and level on hover-over, when challenged to a duel to the death.
Wrath Classic
Fixed a bug that caused the Joyous Journeys bonus to unintentionally disappear.
Fixed an issue with the Airborne Recovery dragonriding talent that would cause Aerial Halt to not regenerate a Vigor when cast during Thrill of the Skies.
Items
Fixed a bug that could prevent Everlasting Horn of Lavaswimming from dropping as intended on completion of the Siege of Dragonbane Keep.
Fixed a bug that could cause a failure to receive a Warcraft Rumble toy reward. If you earned a toy, but did not receive the item, click on the Warcraft Rumble Machine again to be given the toy.
Fixed a bug that could cause Warcraft Rumble Foils to go missing. If you’re missing a Foil that should have been given to you, click on the Warcraft Rumble Machine to receive the Foil. Multiple clicks can produce multiple missing Foils, if applicable.
When you summon a Warcraft Rumble Toy that’s gained additional looks, you can now interact with that toy to cycle through its earned looks. Each time you change looks, there’s a 5-second cooldown until you can interact with it again.
