- Expansion: World of Warcraft
The first round of hotfixes have gone live for the full expansion launch of The War Within. They include numerous corrections to quests, items, delves, and class abilities, which you can read in their entirety below.
Notably, the Warband Mentored Leveling buff can no longer be canceled, so you won’t be able to mistakenly disable it anymore. It will always be active for your alts once earned. Likewise, you won’t be able to disable experience gain at level 70 anymore, only 69 and below.
Some of the auctioneers in Dornogal have been moved downstairs. Hopefully that will make them easier to access.
Blizzard also posted about their plans to nerf Dragonflight tier sets along with their hotfixes on Wednesday by disabling their set bonuses when you reach level 80.
Here you’ll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: The War Within, Cataclysm Classic, Season of Discovery, WoW Classic Era, and Hardcore. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
