A big round of hotfixes has gone live for Season of Discovery, correcting some issues with the new Phase 4 content.
Most notably, players can now acquire the Chipped Drakefire Amulet, an account-bound version of the Drakefire Amulet that is required to enter the Onyxia’s Lair raid. This item can be obtained from Squire Rowe in Stormwind or Eitrigg in Orgrimmar once you have completed the lengthy attunement quest chain. You can then send this item to your alts, allowing them to skip the attunement process. The Handbook of Valor of Azeroth is obtainable through the same method for Warriors.
Another significant change is that runes sold by the Emerald Wardens quartermasters do not require reputation anymore.
There are many other changes, including some changes to class abilities, which you can read through in the complete list below.
