Update 25 September 2026

25 September: artifact quest chains, promo codes, referral program, chat announcements

Date and build: 25 September 2026, 7.3.5.26365

The server has been restarted. Restart your launcher — it downloads the new addons by itself.

Artifact quest chains

  • The next quest of a chain is now offered right after the previous one auto-completes.
  • Order hall leaders' dialogue options no longer open the artifact choice window instead of their own action: the window opens only from the weapon choice option.
  • Warrior: the weapon choice at Odyn now counts and the first artifact quests open. Protection: the Scale of the Earth-Warder is visible in the scenario. Arms: the Strom'kar scenario is fixed. More Weapons of Legend and One More Legend are warrior-only and require the first artifact. Horde: Eitrigg responds to A Desperate Plea.
  • Mage: the weapon choice now counts. Arcane: A New Threat is available right after Aluneth, Greatstaff of the Magna. Fire: The Frozen Flame is mage-only, from level 98. Frost: Daio the Decrepit's challenge now counts.
  • Warlock: Affliction — The Dark Riders completes after defeating Ariden. Destruction — Gul'dan now lets you begin the ritual (Ritual Ruination). The Heart of the Dreadscar opens after any of the three branches.
  • Priest: Holy — Vindicator Boros is visible in Dalaran and The Vindicator's Plea can be turned in. T'uure scenario: steps no longer skip because of other classes' demons. Second and third artifact: Alonsus Faol's dialogue option in the Netherlight Temple works.
  • Monk: Brewmaster — the Monkey King is visible right away and The Wanderer's Companion can be turned in; the campfire and other objects are visible in The Monkey King's Challenge; Journey to the East requires all three riddles; the riddle item no longer drops from worms in the Underbelly. Mistweaver — the Taran Zhu scenario no longer gets stuck on the first step.
  • Shaman: Elemental — the Fist of Ra-den is awarded for defeating Lord Kra'vos in The Voice of Thunder. Restoration — the elevator in the Sharas'dal scenario no longer gets stuck. A Ring Reforged requires the artifact, Your Fullest Potential requires Expanding Your Horizons.
  • Demon Hunter: Kayn Sunfury's branch can be completed — Kayn opens the artifact choice and his version of Vengeance Will Be Ours completes.
  • Rogue: Assassination — Codebreaker is given right after Finishing the Job and No Sanctuary, followed by Cloak and Dagger. Outlaw — the Dreadblades are awarded in the scenario on the first run.
  • Paladin: the second and third artifact choice at Lord Maxwell Tyrosus now has its own dialogue options for Bolstering Your Arsenal and Completing Your Arsenal. Protection — Shrine of the Truthguard completes in the scenario, not on accept. Retribution — The Search for the Highlord completes only after you obtain the Ashbringer.
  • Hunter: Hunter to Hunter, Continuing the Legend and One Last Adventure are hunter-only and in order. Survival — The Spear in the Shadow requires Talonclaw. Marksmanship — Rescue Mission cannot be turned in without Thas'dorah.
  • Druid: class quests of the artifact chains and of the second and third artifact are druid-only.

Chat announcements

  • Every 8 minutes — one short tip about server features: referral program, Battle Pass, Wheel of Fortune, VIP, daily and online rewards, promo codes, Discord, bug reports.
  • Tips arrive in your client's language.

Promo codes

  • The shop now has a Promo Code button next to Karma; the window also opens with /promo.
  • The reward — AZ Coins, karma or an item — arrives instantly; if your bags are full, the item arrives by mail.

Shop

  • 3D models on shop cards are centered and fully visible — heads and tops of models are no longer cut off.
  • Appearances and Druid Forms use a centered 5×2 grid; the preview opens over the grid.
  • Mount models fixed: Pearlescent Butterfly, Spring Butterfly, Bogflare Needler, Lavender K'arroc, the Darkmoon Chargers.
  • Druid forms in Appearance are shown only to druids.

Website

  • Referral program: your link is in your account, in the Invite a Friend block. When your friend reaches level 110, you get 500 AZ and they get 250 AZ. The reward is credited after a 48-hour check.
  • The referrer also gets 10% of the friend's top-ups for 180 days.

Also

  • After leaving a transport (for example, the raven from Dalaran), fall damage is counted from where you land — no more deaths from falling on the beach.

If anything on this list still reproduces, please post in bug reports, ideally with a screenshot and your character name.
