Some mild bugfixes coming out before the weekly patch we’ll see tomorrow, and some tuning to timewalking rewards to get ahead of things for WoTLK timewalking.
Demo locks were having their Empowered Legion Strike consumed by other abilities, and this should now be corrected. This is a passive change, so shouldn’t affect gameplay at all.
As for dungeons, The Dawnbreaker was having some issues where the first boss could be reset by a Void Emissary, which should now also be resolved.
The meat and potatoes are going to be changes to Timewarped Badge to make it a bit less farmable across alts as it’s not considered a warband currency. This is also likely in part because the 20th anniversary event is going to use these as one of the currencies for items offered during it, making it quite valuable to pre-farm!
For full changes read on below.

Items and Rewards
- In Mythic+ dungeons, Mace of Transformed Bone now provides a consistent amount of Strength.
- Gear purchased from Renown quartermasters can no longer be disenchanted.
- The Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking quest “Disturbance Detected: Ulduar” will now reward 300 badges for repeat completions. As before, it rewards 500 badges the first time on your account.
- The Wrath of the Lich King Timewalking quest “The Unstable Prism” will now reward 200 badges for repeat completions. As before, it rewards 500 badges the first time on your account.
- Developers’ notes: Now that Timewarped Badges are Warbound, we want the activity of playing alts to provide a modest bonus. Some players are holding a great many badges, and we hope the upcoming Timewalking vendor updates will provide an outlet for them. We will continue to watch how this economy goes in a Warbound world. Future Timewalking weeks will also have their version of this quest updated.
