Fixes for October 9, 2026
All changes listed below were installed today. Remaining reports are marked separately; a deployed improvement does not mean that a report has been fully verified.
General changes
- The server has moved to new hardware; service announcements were restored after the move.
- Restored missing name strings and Russian area and spell names; corrected local chat channel names and Russian teleport options in the Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep, and End Time.
- Automatically accepted quests trigger their intended events. Fixed following companions freezing, delayed pet actions, and several server crash causes.
- Corrected specific mechanics for Marrowgar, Urom, and Lei Shi, death-knight runic power from bursting wounds, and the availability of the personal-loot trade window.
- Improved archaeology dig-site lookup and keystone handling. Added loot to several previously empty mining and herbalism nodes.
- Removed incorrect obsolete quest offers and restored visibility for several Scourge fires in Dragonblight.
Quests and events
- Neltharion’s Flame: Moved the flame’s use point and target to the accessible ledge by Rothin, corrected the map marker, and hid the exposed spell focus.
- Wastes Diggers: Diggers at the sites around Galakrond’s Rest now dig while out of combat.
- Human starting quests and pets: Restored default hunter pet names and the action-bar Call Pet list.
- Redridge and Bravo Company: Fixed siege-tank boarding, invader spawns, Danforth’s visibility, the lever, and progression through the Bravo Company chain. Removed the obsolete bridge quest offer and restored normal Redridge visibility during the tank quest.
- Duskwood and battle pet healing: Added routes for Stitches, Night Watch patrols, and the town crier; Althea appears in her storyline. Stable masters heal battle pets and grant On the Mend credit. The Lurking Worgen now responds to players on A Curse We Cannot Lift.
- Gilneas: Fixed the Exodus carriage, object story phases, the mountain-horse ride, and rooftop worgen spawns. Restored the Battle for Gilneas finale and removed preplaced offerings at Aderic’s Tomb. Endgame now has a simplified flight with quest credit and a return to the pier; the full boarding battle remains unavailable.
- Fishing: Restored normal catches in affected Broken Isles and old-world waters and completed missing fishing-pool loot lists.
- Worm Wrangler: Each crate now yields one captured jormungar spawn instead of two.
- First Aid: Restored treatment and credit for letter-based patient quests, corrected patient positions, added missing patients, and connected material consumption and departure after treatment.
- Emerald Nightmare: Malfurion offers the quest version for the current raid difficulty. Added the required quest items to Cenarius’s reward chest.
- Ancient Knowledge: Khadgar for the alchemy chain now stands in the shop instead of floating in the air.
- Wintergarde Keep: Hallard’s interrogation starts with the quest; removed uncontrolled lightning and repeated dialogue. Cleaned up duplicates around Eligor and corrected audience placement, projections, and Patchwerk’s model.
- Flight to Thorson’s Post: Urik’s gryphons carry players to Thorson’s Post and dismount them at the destination.
- Forgotten knight storyline: Restored the visibility of the Forgotten Knights needed for the quest.
- Steam tank assault: Fixed soldier deployment, repeated engineer actions, and extra tank passengers. Deployed guards no longer display dialogue placeholders.
- Hard to Swallow: Increased the number of spawned meat pieces needed for the quest.
- Return of the High Chief: Restored the liberation event, Anub’et’khan’s arrival, and the joint attack by Roanauk and the awakened warriors.
- The truth shall set us free: Restored missing actions and dialogue for Arthas and Muradin in the story scene.
- Might of the Horde: The standard no longer follows the player; added use conditions to prevent unwanted repeat summons.
- Blighted beasts and the summoned wyvern: Improved the summoned wyvern’s flight, approach to its summoner, and riderless behavior: it stands on the ground, lands after dismounting, and disappears if left unused. Remaining reports are still being checked.
- Canyon pursuit: Horde: Restored the snobold chase toward Icefist.
- On Ruby Wings: Restored the dragon’s flight speed. Fixed target selection that made Thiassi evade against a dragon-mounted player, and corrected his lightning attacks.
- Forgotten Captains: Final revision: the captains follow their aerial patrol routes while mounted on spectral gryphons.
- Fresh Remounts: Improved Onslaught mounts: player boarding requires the whip, knights return to an empty saddle out of combat, and do not displace a player already mounted. Combat behavior is still being checked.
- A Means to an End: Removed the extra permanent foreman; the quest-summoned foreman becomes hostile and delivers his opening line.
- Bombard the Ballistae: Bombs reach the intended targets; destroyed ballistae disappear together with their collision and later respawn. Removed the extra Deathguard Molder.
- Fire Upon the Waters: Fixed burning sails and throw credit. Sailors react to the fire, stop fighting, and temporarily panic on deck.
- Fall From Grace: Restored Landgren’s escort, cliffside conversation, and localized dialogue. Corrected disguise conditions and the mirror option at Scully. Removed simultaneous duplicate abbots; the escort now appears at Landgren’s position in the chapel.
- Mysterious Dust: Connected the conversations with Caelen, Palin, and Deucus Valdera and their objective credit.
- You and the cannon: Improved wounded-soldier spawning, movement and rescue credit, idle cannon behavior, and rescued soldiers’ departure. Shortened the ghoul respawn delay, but prolonged absence of enemies remains under investigation. Including corpse decay, the wait can be around a minute and a half; this report remains open.
- Muradin in Frostmourne Cavern: Muradin now falls during the shockwave in the story scene and later gets back up.
- Finding Lyndras: stolen leyflame: Added the required Violet Hold guard dialogue and credit for asking about Lyndras.
- Wanton Warlord: Grom’thar spawns away from the player, runs to the arena, and delivers his dialogue; removed the exposed duplicate summon marker.
- Frostwyrm hunt: Thel’zan’s phylactery: Restored the frostwyrm lure scene: the lure’s flight, harpoon fire, transition to ground combat, and the phylactery after victory.
- Canyon pursuit: Alliance: Accepting Duane’s quest starts the fleeing foragers’ run toward Icefist.
- Bad trolls: Each set of shackles holds one captive wolvar; the lockpick frees that captive, who stands up, speaks, grants credit, and later leaves.
- Unquenchable fire: Hut fires remain visible; the extinguisher puts them out and grants objective credit.
- The Storm King’s Vengeance: Improved allied combat with Gymer: Algar, Thrym, and Prince Navarius are protected from his roar’s knockback; Algar is grounded. Remaining feedback is still being checked.
- Drakuru’s quest branches: Drakuru offers the reunion or dark-horizon quest according to the completed story branch instead of offering both at once.
- Zul’Drak tour: Gorebag’s dialogue starts the flight with Drakuru, grants tour credit at the end, and dismounts the player in Voltarus.
- Rescue everyone: Bandaged knights stand up and follow the player; rescue credit is granted at Dr. Rogers’s camp. Using a bandage without a valid target no longer wastes its cooldown.
- Cocooned: Improved cocoon opening, random event selection, and freed footmen’s dialogue and departure. Fixed a cause of empty openings. Hostile captives remain an intended outcome; other reports are still being checked.
- Demolition work: Grenade hits produce an explosion; the crater temporarily disappears and later returns.
- Incorrect quest offers: Removed incorrect quest offers from Stefan Vadu, Ubungo, Finklestein, and other Zul’Drak characters while preserving quest turn-ins.
- Admiral Westwind: Admiral Westwind remains an observer and does not attack the player during the Abbendis fight.
- Thel’zan and Bolvar event: Restored the start on quest acceptance, soldier preparation, Thel’zan’s arrival, Bolvar’s conversation, and transition to combat. Also corrected the loading error that prevented completion credit.
- The Amphitheater of Anguish: Restored localized announcements and dialogue throughout the arena chain, including introductions and victory congratulations.

Evening release addendum
- The summoned Kor’kron wyvern appears near its summoner without a high-speed approach and does not start fighting on its own. Dismounting over water remains under investigation.
