Another day, another round of hotfixes! This time they include: resolving class bugs, achievements, mob tethering, dungeon tuning/visual improvements, and questing!
Most of today’s class changes involve bug fixes allowing specs to operate properly as they quest and dungeon their way through the Dragon Isles. With the start of Raid and Mythic+ next week we will potentially start to see some tuning outside of bugs, as some have already been announced.
Bug fixes to Dragonflight dungeons have been pretty common in most of the hotfixes, which is promising to see! But, this time it’s also good to see visual improvements to mechanics — this is particularly true with visuals that clip through the water or terrain. Flashback to Tazavesh: So’leah’s Gambit here: some of us may recall the difficulty in seeing the pufferfish visuals through the water. This is a promising change to see, as poor visuals combined with so many already on screen make the game harder to play in many scenarios.
The Tuskarr have decided that they are hungry for more fish! Subsequently, players must now turn in more fish in order to receive reputation rewards from their hard work!
Lastly, after many years, the quest log has been updated with an increased maximum quest capacity. Players can now archive up to 35 active quests! This is a great change that will allow players to hold on to old quests they already have in progress, while taking advantage of all the new quest content that is offered in Dragonflight.
Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

Professions
- Fishing
- With the increase in fishing activity in the Dragon Isles, the Tuskarr at the watering holes are now looking for 20 fish (was 10) to restock their best fishing holes. They will be granting the following rewards:
- 200 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for the first turn-in of Islefin Dorado.
- 100 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for the first turn-in of each type of common fish.
- 5 Iskaara Tuskarr reputation for subsequent turn-ins of all fish.
- The rare summoned lunkers are already immune to death grip, but the Elite lunkers are not which can make them trivial to defeat. The Elite lunkers (the ones summoned at fishing holes with Ominous Conchs) are now immune to Death Grip.
- Developers’ Note: Normal lunkers randomly found while Tuskarr are fishing (and those available in world quests) are still susceptible to Death Grip.
- With the increase in fishing activity in the Dragon Isles, the Tuskarr at the watering holes are now looking for 20 fish (was 10) to restock their best fishing holes. They will be granting the following rewards:
