Hotfixes
May 7, 2024
Cataclysm Classic
Legendary appearances may now be added to your Transmogrification collection. In anticipation of community response to this change, we have also added a pitchfork.

Fixed an issue that prevented Naralex and his discipline from correctly spawning in the Southern Barrens.
Druid Thrash now benefits from and consumes the Clearcasting effect from Omen of Clarity.
Fixed an issue where Blessing of Kings and Mark of the Wild were incorrectly stacking their stat increases.
Fixed an issue where level 80 boosted characters were not properly learning their class and spec’s Mastery abilities.
Prayer of Mending now scales by the intended amount from spell power.
Conflagrate will no longer consume lower-rank Immolates belonging to other Warlocks.
Player versus Player
Fixed a bug causing Resilience to do much less mitigation than intended.

May 6, 2024
Cataclysm Classic
Account wide achievements that reward titles now grant them at an account level.
Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving daily Random Battleground rewards.
Smoke Bomb will now properly cancel Stealth, Prowl, and Shadowmeld from enemy players.
Fixed an issue that would prevent Warden Stillwater from spawning during the “Lawn of the Dead” quest.
Fixed an issue where Death Knights in Blood Presence could be incorrectly, critically hit by all melee attacks.
Reduced the cost of all honor and arena gear from Wrath of the Lich King, to better match honor gain while at level 80 compared to level 85.
Holidays
Made some improvements to the Children’s Week Quests “The Banshee Queen”, “Malfurion Has Returned!”, and “The Fallen Chieftain” to more consistently grant quest credit.
Warlock
The Warlock Demon Soul ability will now work with the Incubus pet.
Fixed an issue where Warlock Demonology pets were not properly updating from Mastery.
Fixed an issue with the incorrect tooltip on Demonic Pact. It should correctly read that it grants the Warlock 2% increased personal spell damage.
May 3, 2024
Cataclysm Classic
Fixed a bug causing Hunters to do trap dropping animations twice.
Account wide pet collection achievements now correctly grant rewards.
Fixed an issue preventing Bloodlust and Heroism from working as intended.
Mounting the Violet Proto Drake now grants Master Riding to players who are at least level 80 and have Artisan Riding trained.
Heal-over-time and damage-over-time ticks should now behave as intended in Cataclysm when refreshed.
Developers’ notes: Previously, refreshing a DoT just before it finished its last tick could cause it to miss out on a tick. That was the correct behavior in Wrath of the Lich King, but not Cataclysm.
Holidays
The Children’s Week holiday is now extended for one additional week.
“Ridin’ The Rocketway” can now be completed.
Craggle Wobbletop and Blax Bottlerocket now sell Yellow and Green Balloons for Children’s Week.
Darkmoon Faire will be closed until the launch of Cataclysm, when it will return with the newly updated Darkmoon Faire Island.

If a Paladin misplaces the Symbol of Faith during the quest “Materials of Significance”, they may now buy a replacement from the Lost and Found vendor in Booty Bay.
Fixed the Children’s Week quest “Cruisin’ the Chasm” so that it can now be completed.
Boosted Paladins should now have Collective Book of Healing or Secondhand Book of Healing as expected.
Fixed an issue that prevented Worgen from being eligible for some daily quests.
Mage
Ignite damage will no longer be counted double toward Combustion.
Refreshed Ignite that now has 3 ticks over 6 seconds will do the same amount of damage on each tick.
Ignite spread by Impact and Fire Blast will no longer have a missing 2nd or 3rd tick that adds damage to future Ignites.
May 1, 2024
Cataclysm Classic
Archaeology digsites that appear in Uldum, Twilight Highlands, and Hyjal once players hit 450 Archaeology should no longer appear until the zones are accessible on official Expansion Launch.

Fixed an issue with Seals of Command where Seal of Righteousness could trigger too many procs when it hits multiple targets.
Please note that some issues are fixed directly, not via hotfix, and are reflected here.
