Wrath of the Lich King Classic
-
Auction House
- Added options to sort by Buyout Price and by Unit Price. These can be selected via a gear icon button to the right of the search sorting headers.
- Now, when you select an item to purchase, the total buyout price is displayed next to the Buyout button.
- Searching an item name in quotes will now perform an exact match search for that item name.
- Shift-clicking an item with the Auction House open will now paste the name of that item in quotes to the Auction House.
-
Creatures and NPCs
- Class trainers were inadvertently forgetting to charge money for the dual talent specialization, profession respecialization, and other paid options. While we investigate the cause of their inadequate accounting practices, we’ve asked them to stop selling the dual talent specialization ability. Anyone who has already purchased dual talent specialization will be allowed to keep it, and we’ll re-enable it once we’ve fixed the issue. The profession specialization services will continue to be offered, but may spontaneously start charging their intended fee.
-
Dungeons and Raids
-
Defense Protocol Alpha
- Bounty Satchels from Heroic Daily Dungeons, with Defense Protocol Alpha active, are no longer tradeable to party members.
- The Frostbite effect from Heroic Utgarde Keep and Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle, while Defense Protocol Alpha is active, now appears as a debuff and cannot be cancelled via the UI.
- The Bounty Satchel from the Heroic Daily Dungeon, when Defense Protocol Alpha is active, is now multidrop. This was an accidental oversight and was always intended to be multidrop. This means all members of the party can loot the item and receive 3 bonus Emblems of Conquest.
-
Obsidian Sanctum
-
Sartharion
- Now drops an additional item when 2 or 3 drakes are alive, similar to 3.4.0.
- 10-Player now drops Reins of the Black Drake (instead of Reins of the Twilight Drake) when 3 drakes are alive.

DECEMBER 8, 2022
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
- Players will now only receive credit for the Ocular if they are within 100 yards of a kill during “It’s All Fun and Games.” Both factions will continue to receive credit.
- Developers’ Note: Due to the lag associated with Dalaran and its proximity to the Icecrown zone, anyone in or near the Icecrown zone would receive credit for “It’s All Fun and Games” when the Ocular died. This credit being zone-wide was unintended.

Hello everyone! Here are the recent hotfixes to Wrath Classic:
OCTOBER 19, 2022
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
-
Classes
- Mind Flay, and other similar spells, will no longer benefit from movement impairment reduction as a cast speed bonus.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Blessing of Wisdom to sometimes incorrectly provide an increased benefit in raid encounters when changing to a specialization that did not have Improved Blessing of Wisdom.
- Adjusted Warrior’s Taste for Blood talent to improve its timing.
- Developers’ note: This change should make Rank 3 of the talent trigger every 6 seconds, instead of sometimes taking 9 seconds to trigger. Other ranks have the same change, but aren’t guaranteed to happen, and so are less noticeable.
-
Creatures and NPCs
- Fixed incorrect levels with some player summoned creatures.
- Grauf has been taught how to fly, and will no longer run around in the air, disobeying the laws of physics.
-
Dungeons and Raids

- Fixed an issue where some encounters would not respect loot settings (like Master Looter).
-
Items and Rewards
- The Well Fed effect from feasts now grants Ranged Attack Power.

Here are the recent hotfixes to Wrath Classic:
OCTOBER 14, 2022
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
- Deep Wounds no longer triggers from non-Physical damage, such as the Fiery Weapon enchant.
- Developers’ note: Warriors have recently discovered that with the changes to Critical Strike Rating in Wrath, they can now get critical hits on spells quite often, and that those spell critical hits trigger Deep Wounds. Prior to Wrath, Warriors did not get increased spell critical chance from their gear. This discovery has resulted in players changing their enchantments on weapons to low-level enchantments that don’t do much damage, but can trigger Deep Wounds and gain a significant damage increase over intended level 70-80 enchantments. Deep Wounds was never intended to benefit from these enchantments. Because of how Deep Wounds works, this advantage would continue to grow as Warriors gain better gear with more Critical Strike Rating. Additionally, some Warrior players are now looking for additional sources of spell damage from low-level sources, that they could use to gain increased Deep Wounds damage. We feel that this would only become more problematic, so it’s best to resolve it quickly, before a lot of time and resources are invested into it. While it is a creative use of game mechanics, this would eventually be damaging to player and class fantasies, as well as very unintuitive for newer players.
- Deadly Gladiator’s Tabard is now purchasable from Arena vendors for the duration of Arena Season 5.
- Sapphiron has learned how to fly properly during the air phase.
- Morlia Doomwing should now offer flights to eligible players from the Shadow Vault.
- Figurine - Emerald Boar trinket will now properly match the player’s level.
- Priest Trainers no longer offer the quest to teach Desperate Prayer.
- Players can now travel safely on their flying mounts across Valgarde in Howling Fjord.

- Feasts that grant Spell Power as part of their Well Fed bonus will now properly increase Healing Power as intended.
- The last remaining Scourge have retreated and are no longer attacking capital cities on some realms.
-
Quests

- Wild Wyrms now spawn more frequently during the “How to Kill Your Dragon” quest.
- Smoldering Scraps now respawn quicker during the quest “Hot and Cold.”

Here are today’s hotfixes for Wrath Classic:
OCTOBER 10, 2022
Wrath of the Lich King Classic
-
Naxxramas
- Fixed an issue where Kel’Thuzad would damage the main tank with Frost Blast, in addition to a random raid target. Frost Blast will now only hit the main tank if the primary target of Frost Blast is standing near the main tank, or the main tank is not the highest threat target.
- Fixed issue with Strand of the Ancients where same-faction battleground teams disguised as the opposite faction would be sent to the wrong graveyard upon death.
- Fixed an issue where Hyperspeed Accelerators could not be used in the same macro as spells and abilities.
- Developers’ note: Due to the nature of this fix, Hyperspeed Accelerators’ on-use effect no longer shares a partial cooldown with on-use Trinkets as they once did. For now, this is known and intended, but we may attempt a different fix in a future patch to resolve the macro issue above which no longer allows this and puts engineering glove tinkers and on-use trinkets back onto a shared cooldown.

Here’s today’s hotfix update for Wrath Classic:

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

- Master Elemental Shaper Krixix in Blackwing Lair is now guaranteed to drop the Goblin’s Guide to Elementium.

- Shaman Sentry Totem no longer stops the player in mid air when cast.
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to re-enter the Vault of Archavon instance to resurrect.
- Fixed an issue with the achievement Share the Love in Heroic Gundrak, where use of player immunities such as Divine Intervention and Hand of Protection could prevent earning the achievement without leaving and re-entering the instance.
- Fixed an issue with Strand of the Ancients where same-faction battleground teams disguised as the opposite faction would be sent to the wrong graveyard upon death.
- Fixed an issue with the highest ranks of party and raid buffs where they were appearing incorrectly on unit frames during combat.
