Ascension Changelog

[Pending Restart] - Added a description to the Badge of Justice indicating its purpose and where to spend these Badges.

[Pending Restart] - Items bought from Geras or Edrim Skysong (Mythic 0 Coin Vendor) will now also abide by the refund rule that tier token vendors and Romus the Redeemer have. You may now sell back any item purchased from Geras or Edrim Skysong up to 2 hours after the purchase, enchanting this item or applying a mystic enchantment onto these items will void the refundability.

[Pending Restart] - Ever accidentally recycled an item when trying to upgrade an item at Edrim Skysong (Mythic Coin Vendor)? Fear not, Ameer Greatluck will now be able to recover accidentally recycled M+ items for 50 Mythic Coins.

[Pending Restart] - Removed the following daily quests from pooling on the callboard such as but not limited to: The Arms Race: "Ragesteel Shoulders, Learning The Ropes: Crown of the Sea Witch" whose price to craft was not reasonable for a daily craft. Most quests removed required VERY timegated materials that could take potential weeks to craft or the crafting price was upwards of 1,500 gold or more to craft. Similar quests that are not as expensive nor as timegated will soon be moved to a weekly quest pool and have a much greater reward.

[Pending Restart] - Geras will now offer Runed Fungalcap and Wrathtide Longbow.

[Pending Restart] - Prestigious Caches will now always reward gear from Tier 4.

[Pending Restart] - Callboard Caches have been reworked and make their return to level 70! This callboard cache intends to serve as a catchup mechanic and as an alternative way to progress your character and earn gear while simultaneously providing more value to daily and weekly quests. The following quest types will reward Callboard Caches: Profession Quests, Hero's Call (Rewards x2 caches), Keeping Evil at Bay, Population Control, World Boss (Rewards x2 caches). These callboard caches can not drop current tier raid gear and can only drop normal mode gear from the previous tier.

Instead he will now charge the furthest target away every 5 seconds and up to 3 different targets over 15 seconds, then this charge sequence will go on cooldown for 30 seconds. Previously this charge had no cooldown and often targetted the same person. Since the charge is intertwined with dropping threat, Claw will no longer drop threat as frequent (faster than your taunt cooldown).

[Pending Restart] - Mobs who stun with the "Charge" spell in TBC Dungeons will no longer charge you (stunning you) in melee range and this specific "Charge" now has the same deadzone as the Normal Charge. This affects mobs in Hellfire Ramparts, Shattered Halls, Mana Tombs, etc.

Kaelthas Pyroblast will no longer trigger stagger if under the effect of Devastation (Absorbs the damage from the pyroblast).

Fixed a recent issue where Fierce Blows could bypass blocks. This fixes a significant foundation issue that was meant to be adressed in the last updates to the tanks.

Prestige Daily Quests are now sequential, this should fix the same one rolling multiple times back to back.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where Mending Tides was not benefiting from Healing Power correctly. Additionally, fixed an issue where Mending Tides lacked in level scaling this should result in more healing done at level 70.

[Pending Restart] - Fixed an issue where the spawn location for a crows cache in Zangarmash would be extremely unclear on its location. Its PoI and Location should be shown on the map once it spawns again.

[Pending Restart] - Removed the breadcrumb quests from callboard for Karazhan Attunement once Serpentshrine Caverns releases because the attunement for Karazhan is no longer required once SSC is released. You will still be able to do the attunement normally to gain the Masters Key to your Vanity Collection, but being available on the callboard created misleading expectations.
