Some hotfixes have gone out for Phase 4 of Cataclysm Classic, primarily correcting some issues with dungeons. These fixes follow the addition of the new Twilight Protocol difficulty for Elemental Rune Dungeons as well as the opening of the trilogy of Caverns of Time Dungeons.
Among the various fixes and tweaks are several for the Gift of the Blue Dragonflight buff. There were also corrections to a couple of Shaman set bonuses that weren’t being removed when they should, and a fix to an issue with learning new Jewelcrafting recipes. You can read through all of the changes below.
