Date and build: 26 September 2026, 7.3.5.26365
Since the previous post (25 September, evening) there have been six restarts with fixes, the last one on 26 September at 20:09 UTC. Below is everything that changed. Restart the launcher — it will download the updated shop and VIP panel files by itself.
Server stability
- We found and removed the cause of the two server crashes on 26 September (at 13:50 and 14:16 UTC). The bug was in the Eye of Azshara dungeon: every new instance of it corrupted server memory, and after a while the server crashed in a random place. We also removed four extra nagas at Wrath of Azshara from the dungeon — as on retail, the boss summons them herself.
- The Ashran hang on 26 September (14:28–14:53 UTC), which disconnected every player in the zone, is fixed. The server got stuck in a loop when a character gained a level at the same moment an effect was being removed from them (for example, right after dying). The bug could trigger in any zone — it is fixed everywhere.
- The cause of the server hang on the morning of 25 September (around 04:04 UTC) was found and removed.
Ashran
- Exit to the city: the way back from Ashran to Stormshield and Warspear is fixed — when you walk up to the city gates you should move into the city with no loading screen, the same way as when you enter Ashran. If you still hit an invisible wall at the gates, please post a bug report with your coordinates (a map screenshot).
- The Spirit Healer at the Ashran graveyards is visible to ghosts again, and you can resurrect there.
- Disposable Pocket Flying Machine: the reward for Artifact Fragments was 100 times higher than it should be. Now, as with the faction leaders, it is 3 honor and 5 reputation for each whole fragment; the fragments are split evenly between the available targets of your faction.
- Faction raid: from level 100, when you enter Ashran you are automatically placed in your faction's raid (up to 40 players), as on retail. Your normal group is kept: you can invite to it and leave it, and after you leave Ashran you are back in it. If a side has more than 40 players, a second raid is formed.
- You cannot queue for dungeons from the Ashran raid — leave Ashran first.
- Announcements: the 3-minute warnings before an event and the event start messages, Kor'lok's lines and the Ancient Artifact messages are now shown. Before, Ashran was silent.
- Scheduled events: Kor'lok awakens 6 minutes after Ashran starts up (after a server restart), Stadium Racing starts after 12 minutes, and after that each event repeats 30 minutes after it ends. Races never started before, and from the second race on a win was counted after the very first lap — fixed.
- The other Ashran events (ore, spirits, ogre fires) do not start yet — there is not enough retail data for them.
Quests and NPCs
- Azsuna: the extra «!» on the map at Kor'vas for everyone who completed From Within is gone. The demon hunter versions of this quest were offered to all classes — now each class gets its own version, and the demon hunter path through Azsuna no longer breaks off. The second extra «!», at Arcanist Valtrois, is gone too.
- Azsuna, Azurewing Repose: Ael'Yith on Orbyth and the Withered appear only at their own steps of the chain, not from your first visit, and no longer attack Stellagosa. Stellagosa stands on the shore of the pool, and The Death of the Eldest can be turned in.
- Azsuna: the extra Stellagosas that stood in seven spots on top of the story ones are removed. One is kept near Arcanist Valtrois's cave; we are still checking its exact spot.
- Azsuna, Study Hall: Combat Research: Sythorne's Podium works — a book is placed on the podium and brings its drawing. If you already have the quest but no books in your bags, abandon it and take it again.
- Azsuna: leatherworkers with Scales of the Arcane no longer see two Kharmeeras at Azurewing Repose.
- Azsuna and Dalaran: Senegos, Prince Farondis and Khadgar no longer offer the quests cut from the game About the Tidestone, The Forest God's Proposal and A Blaze of Starlight. If you already have one of them, abandon it in your quest log — it cannot be turned in.
- Val'sharah: 22 doubles are removed in Lorlathil (Sylvia, the flight master, the herbalism trainer, the repair vendor and others). The second Leafbeard the Storied has been moved from the Dreamgrove to his own spot in Val'sharah.
- Broken Isles: 169 more identical NPCs that stood inside each other are removed (most of them in Val'sharah).
- Class order halls: the Portal to the Maelstrom (and its copy floating in the air near Dalaran), an extra Zen'tabra and two extra Malfurions are removed from the Dreamgrove, and a second Daumyr from Acherus. All twelve order halls were checked.
- Dalaran: the extra Lady Liadrin, Aponi Brightmane and Illidari Fel Bat at Krasus' Landing are removed, as well as a doubled Archmage Celindra.
- Broken Shore: the «Complete Construction» objects are visible only when the building is built and you have its quest from Commander Chambers, not to everyone all the time.
- Argus, Into the Night: the «I'm ready.» option at Prophet Velen plays the movie and takes you to the Vindicaar above Krokuun, where the quest is turned in.
Paragon caches and world quests
- We closed a bug that let you take Paragon caches (Supplies From the Valarjar, the Dreamweavers, Highmountain, the Court and the Wardens) directly from NPCs and get them endlessly. Now, as on retail, the quest appears only when you fill the Paragon bar; turning it in to the emissary stays.
- The world quests «Supplies Needed: …» and «Work Order: …» can no longer be taken from NPCs directly: while such a quest is active on the map, it is added to your log by itself when you come to the quartermaster, and you turn it in there. The same is fixed for the other Broken Isles emissaries and the Argus NPCs.
- Alchemy work orders do not appear among the world quests yet — we will handle that separately.
Breath, flights and companions
- Breath: the bar appears as soon as your character goes under water, and at the surface breath is not used and recovers. Before, the server noticed that you surfaced only after you swam about 20 yards away, so you could «drown» at the surface. This affected all classes.
- Flights: after a flight with a flight master, the landing is no longer counted as a fall from the height of the departure point — no more deaths on arrival (for example, from Dalaran to Deliverance Point). Logging in no longer moves your character to the start of a long-finished flight.
- Companions: the demon hunter in the Faronaar chain (Azsuna) no longer doubles when you enter new places. The same is fixed for other companions that appear when you enter a certain place.
Other
- Artifact Power: items obtained before you had any Artifact Knowledge give as much power as the tooltip says.
- Fishing: trainers teach «Apprentice Fishing» together with the skill again — this was our mistake in the update on the morning of 25 September.
Shop and VIP
- Appearances and Druid appearances: models are shown whole, centered in the card and at a normal size, and are brighter.
- Appearance names follow one style: in the Russian client gender is marked «(м)» / «(ж)» and details go in brackets; version tags in English names are written out, e.g. «Lady Jaina Proudmoore (BfA, variant 1)».
- VIP panel 2.2.0: a new crest on the minimap button and in the panel header, and a new logo.
