Date and build: 2 October 2026, 7.3.5.26365
Below is everything that went live with the restarts since the previous post: the new Haranir race, all chronoportals of the Deaths of Chromie scenario, the Mage Tower and Mythic Keystones, Outland dungeons and quests, Cataclysm raids and Legion quests.
Much of this was checked against retail data, but not yet in the game. If something does not work the way it is described, please post in bug reports.
New race: Haranir
- The Haranir are a Horde allied race. The race is unlocked by the Level 110 achievement: if your account already has a level 110 character, the race is already unlocked, and that character gets the achievement itself when it logs in.
- New characters start at level 20 in the Orgrimmar embassy. Classes: warrior, hunter, rogue, priest, shaman, mage, warlock, monk and druid.
- Racial abilities: Thorn Bloom — thorns in the target area damage enemies and heal allies, up to 20 targets, 3 min cooldown; Lash Out — critical strike damage and healing +3%; One With Nature — Herbalism +15 and faster herb gathering; Subterranean Predator — +10% experience and +1% damage against aberrations, beasts and elementals.
- Haranir hunters start with a pet — a young raptor.
- Your first level 110 Haranir on an account receives a mail with the Rootstalker Grimlynx mount (once per account).
- Important: on the first login after the update, characters receive the level achievements they are missing — you will see pop-ups and lines in guild chat. This is expected, not a bug: level achievements are credited retroactively, as on retail. Characters of level 80+ without their own Level 80 achievement also get its reward — a mail with a gift.
- Haranir druids now have their own forms: moonkin, wolverine cat, pangolin bear, stoat travel form and axolotl aquatic form.
- Intro chain: on first login a Haranir receives "For the Horde", then "Stranger in a Strange Land" leading to the emissary in the Valley of Strength.
Dungeons and raids
- Deaths of Chromie: all four chronoportals are open. Andorhal, Stratholme and the Well of Eternity have joined Hyjal — turn in the Gleaming, Frozen or Fel-Touched Chronoshard to Chromie (they drop from the bosses of the Emerald, Ruby and Obsidian Dragonshrines). The memento boxes that let you skip part of a portal are not given yet.
- Mythic Keystones: Season 1 has started, the rating starts from zero. A run is recorded for the dungeon it was played in, and the in-game rating window counts score the same way as the overall rating.
- Mage Tower: Feltotem's Fall is available to Discipline priests; the quest completes only after both bosses are defeated; the fight with Sigryn counts in The God-Queen's Fury. The first attempt at each challenge is free, further attempts take Nethershards.
- The Emerald Nightmare: Nythendra's Infested Mind no longer takes control of the last free player; after Cenarius the rift takes you to Xavius even if you are flying or slow-falling.
- Darkheart Thicket: there is no second Malfurion in the Shade of Xavius's hall any more, and he is freed after the fight.
- Throne of the Four Winds and the Bastion of Twilight: heroic mode only requires level 85, without the normal-mode achievement. The Slipstream is no longer hostile, and you can leave the Bastion of Twilight through the entrance portal again.
- Dragon Soul: the Twilight Assaulters attack the Temple again, and Ultraxion arrives once they are driven off; the Wardens at the foot of the temple can be targeted.
- Firelands: Lord Rhyolith's extra stationary legs are gone — he now moves as a whole.
- The Underbog: about 130 missing creatures added; Claw joins the fight together with Swamplord Musel'ek; the Underbog Mushroom's Spore Cloud hits players instead of Hungarfen; The Black Stalker levitates players when you are solo too.
- The Blood Furnace: three missing enemies added; Keli'dan the Breaker banishes himself before Burning Nova, and on heroic he pulls everyone in and uses his heroic spells.
- The Shattered Halls: the gates of Grand Warlock Nethekurse's hall stay shut while he is alive.
- Mana-Tombs: on heroic a stasis chamber stands in Shaffar's hall, and Yor appears when it is opened with the key.
- Auchenai Crypts: the number of Inhibit Magic stacks from Shirrak depends on your distance to him; the Avatar of the Martyred applies Sunder Armor.
- Sethekk Halls: at 80%, 50% and 25% health Talon King Ikiss leaps to a player and casts Arcane Explosion.
Quests
- If a quest objective is an item that is given when you take the quest or is already in your bags, the quest is marked complete right away, and the turn-in mark appears on the map without relogging.
- Quests with separate Alliance and Horde versions no longer show a false "not available to your race" error.
- Profession quests are only shown to characters with that profession; holiday quests are given only during their holiday and only once.
- A patrolling NPC you talk to stops and waits for you for up to 3 minutes.
- Story versions of characters are only visible with their quest (about 150 cases across the world); several hundred NPCs show their dialogue options again, and several dozen vendors open their trade window again.
- Removed quests that NPCs offered by mistake: old versions from before Cataclysm and patch 4.3, beta quests from Burning Crusade and Legion, the Karazhan attunement chain at Khadgar, Creating Time, old battleground quests, duplicates at Exarch Nasuun, Spymistress Mehlisah Highcrown, Aranelle and others. Quests that start from an item are only started by the item. If such a quest is still in your log, just abandon it.
- Outland, events and scenes: I'm Saved!, Digging Through Bones, Into the Soulgrinder, Evil Draws Near, Vision Guide, On Spirit's Wings, Spirit Calling, Whispers of the Raven God, Sabotage the Warp-Gate!, Shutting Down Manaforge B'naar and the other manaforges, Turning Point, Fumping, A Curse Upon Both of Your Clans!.
- Outland, items and objectives: The Stones of Vekh'nir, Whelps of the Wyrmcult, Exorcising the Trees, Felsworn Gas Mask (you keep the mask after turning it in), Artifacts from Tuurem, Torgos!, The Fallen Exarch, Taken in the Night, The Ring of Blood: The Blue Brothers, Don't Kill the Fat One, Blessing of Incineratus, Have You Ever Seen One of These?, A Spirit Guide.
- Outland, world: tower capture works again in Hellfire Peninsula and Terokkar Forest, and so do the beacons in Zangarmarsh; Daggerfen Assassins walk on the ground in stealth.
- Legion: Arcane Communion, The Lost Advisor, You've Got to Be Kitten Me Right Meow and Cut the Cattitude, Eminent Grow-main, In the Business of Souls, A Fate Worse Than Dying, Shard of Vorgos, Emerald Sisters, Moist Around the Hedges (quest objects like this can be clicked again); duplicates and stacks of identical creatures removed in Suramar, King Morgalash's banner works.
- Dalaran: The Council's Approval and Khadgar's Discovery; Cravitz Lorent in the Underbelly comes and goes like a rare vendor; extra Underbelly guards removed.
- World quests: Ley Race and Enigmatic work in all five zones; expired world quests are removed from the log, and the collected item counter is recalculated when you return to the area.
- "Veil Skith: Darkstone of Terokk": the Rod of Purification works on the target inside the stone again.
- "Hungry Nether Rays": a new ray replaces the previous one instead of summoning endlessly.
- "Death's Door" and "Standards and Practices" fixed; the warrior first artifact choice works.
- Achievement "Mysteries of the Marsh": progress is no longer lost after relogging.
Other
- Artifact appearances: unlock conditions are now checked as on retail (some appearances, including Mage Tower ones, used to unlock without meeting their requirements); A Hero's Weapon awards the achievement needed for the upgraded appearance set.
- Hidden appearances: drops added for several hidden appearance items; the Annals of Light and Shadow (Discipline priests), the Feather of the Moonspirit event (Feral druids) and the Troves of the Thunder King with the Tome of Otherworldly Venoms (Subtlety rogues) work.
- Class hall missions: the success chance matches the one shown; missions given for a quest disappear from the list once the quest is turned in.
- Goods sold for currency or items can be bought several at a time (Shift+click); pet training stones are used one at a time.
- Hidden helper creatures across the world no longer show up as imps and other placeholders.
- Rats and Imp Minions no longer change your reputation; the pet capture achievement only credits each objective with the right pet.
- Forum: bug reports now have search, "My threads" and status and type filters; the author can confirm a fix or send the thread back to work.
- The site now says "Beta" instead of "Closed Beta".
- Battle pass: "Tokens" renamed to "AZ Coins"; the paid track now has 7 rewards of 50 AZ Coins, 350 in total.
