Fixed an issue where Chop'gog the Butcher was not spawning properly in its Manastorm segment.

Fixed an issue where Chop'gog the Butcher was not spawning properly in its Manastorm segment.

[Requires Launcher Update] Fixed a bug where the Fire Walk With Me mystic enchant was not visible.

Fixed an issue where the last quests of the Children's Week event to get the companion rewards were set to daily. These are only doable once per event/year per character, you can still get all rewards by using alts although.

This month, we conducted several waves of mass bans targeting gold buyers and sellers. The current total number of banned accounts includes 46 sellers, farmers, and distributors, as well as 103 individual gold buyers. Zero tolerance applies to all players. Whether you are new or veteran, level 10 or 60, purchased 100 gold or 3000 gold, made the purchase months ago or just yesterday. We want to be very clear, if you choose to buy gold - you will be banned and you will lose your characters. There are no ban appeals for gold buying.

Added an NPC, Pip Gulp, to the Gadgetzan inn. He sells potions for Appearance, Race, and Faction Transmutation. Please read the item descriptions carefully before purchasing or using them. These items are currently non-refundable but are tradeable.

To be clear, the cosmetic shop was closed because it never made enough for upkeep. A promise was made the shop would not be expanded beyond classic style cosmetics in any way, and we intend to keep that promise. The shop existing gave the impression the realm can get more support, more development, and more maintenance than it actually can.

If you had cosmetic items on Kezan or Gurubashi you will still keep them.

All DP ever used on Kezan and Gurubashi has been recredited to your account.

As a result, we decided it wasn't right for it to continue existing and giving the impression Epoch is the state to see increased development capacity and maintenance.

Epoch cosmetic shop has been removed. There are no plans for it to return. It was almost entirely unused and was not meaningfully contributing to upkeep for the realms.

Fixed a bug where Rainburst was not always triggering when healing with riptide and it will now correctly heal all targets inside of Healing Rain.

Fixed a bug where Rainburst from Healing Rain could not critically strike and was not benefitting from talents and abilities that increased healing taken.

As a heads up, the Conquest rewrite took a sizeable amount of time, our estimates for Molten Core have shifted slightly due to this, although we still plan to release it this month we thought players should know there is the possibility for early May, but hopefully not!

For the next week the cost to experience lock and unlock from Behsten and Slahtz has been reduced to 10 silver.

Fixed a visual bug during the Onyxia encounter that caused her to look in a different direction than the direction she is currently casting Flame Breath at.

While in Onyxia's Lair and in future raids if you somehow get PvP flagged it will be removed periodically.

Fixed an issue where players were able to revive themselves for free under certain circumstances. This fix is fairly experimental, so if you experience any issues such as dying as a ghost or dying a second time unexpectedly do submit a ticket.

Fixed an issue where boats and zeppelins would sometimes fail to appear, alongside this fix the NPC boat teleporters have been removed.

Lord Kazzak's health has been increased by 8%.

Lord Kazzak's Greater Doom now correctly deals damage after 30 seconds, and now actually summons a doomguard if the player dies under the effect as intended.

Lord Kazzak now correctly heals when killing a player, as intended.

Lord Kazzak's Shadow Bolt Volley has had its damage increased by 20%.

Two new NPCs have been added to the PvP Halls in Stormwind and Orgrimmar; Percival Napwell and Zog Doomsnooze respectively. These two vendors sell Armor Components at an absolutely exorbitant rate. If you don't wish to gamble your Honor on boxes, you can save up to buy one of these directly instead.

Fixed an issue where the recipes "Plans: Dark Iron Belt" and "Recipe: Dark Iron Fish and Chips" were not able to be seen when revered with the Thorium Brotherhood as intended.

Shawl of Unwarmth can now correctly be enchanted.

Honey Butter Bread is now correctly considered part of the Well Fed group of buffs and cannot be stacked with other Well Fed buffs.

Fixed an issue wherein the Dwarf version of the quest "Tome of Divinity" would not allow you to get a new Symbol of Life from Tiza Battleforge if you lost it.

Fixed an issue where Contender's Idol, Totem, and Libram cost 1 Metal Armor Component instead of the intended Magical Armor Component.

The Human Cosmetic Racial, Banner of Heritage, has been re-enabled with fixes to the various issues it had previously.

Warrior's Blood Frenzy will now properly refresh when Deep Wounds is refreshed, meaning it will not fall off before Deep Wounds expires.

It is no longer possible to stack two different Blessings of Salvation in certain situations.

Fixed an issue where Druid's Primal Fury talent would sometimes fail to trigger, especially in Bear Form, and sometimes have the proc chance of rank 1 even at rank 2.

Fixed an issue where Flametongue Weapon's spell damage would fall off if the shaman died.

[Pending Restart] [Area 52] Fixed a bug where the Conflagrate instant damage was not affected by its PvP mod.

Fixed an issue that was causing the Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit acquired in the Noblegarden event to require the wrong spell to be used.

We are aware of an issue where a small number of players received more Conquest than intended and are beyond what they should be able to obtain. We will fix this in a non-intrusive way very soon.

The Alliance Gillijim's Isle weekly now correctly counts completing Gillijim's Isle and not Warsong Gulch.

Fixed an issue where it was possible to retain the Veteran Fighter effect from the PVP Trinket set bonus under specific conditions.

Additionally, as compensation for the Conquest issues from before, players have received some free Conquest if they had ever obtained any in the past. This compensation should be larger for those that could not obtain Conquest this past week. This will appear in your currency after the first time you obtain Conquest after this restart.

Fixed an issue where Onyxia's Lair trash would drop Black Dragonspawn Eyes, despite the fact that the quest they came from is a requirement to enter the lair.

To add some further mayhem to Gillijim, the behavior of the explosives have been changed. The Land Mine now takes 6 seconds to charge (down from 10) and should be more reliable. Da Bomba knockback logic changed and should now be more deadly; to compensate, the backfire rate has also gone up. The vendors also have slightly more of the fun stuff in stock.

With more people getting PvP season gear and 55 Honor gear becoming easier to obtain, Battlefield Tenacity has been reduced to 20% hp buff and 8% mana cost reduction (down from 25% and 10% respectively).

Added arena NPCs to Stormwind Harbor and Orgrimmar Arena. Note that conquest for arenas and arena-unique rewards will come in a later patch, likely after MC.
