World of Warcraft News and Raiding Strategies

Items

• Fixed an issue where Seabed Leviathan's Citrine was triggering infinite times when bouncing off thorns-like effects.
• Fixed an interaction where Roaring War-Queen's Citrine was being activated by pet deaths, rather than only players, as intended.
• Fixed a bug that could result in players obtaining unintended cosmetic rewards following a Faction Change. Appearances granted due to the bug will be removed.
• Vinyl: Triumph of Gnomergan now has a chance to drop from all rares on Mechagon if you have constructed the Gramophone.
• The drop rate for Azeroth Mini: King Mechagon has been increased from multiple sources around Mechagon.

Quests

• "The Hand of Fate" should now provide players with a boat to reach Azuremyst Isle.
• Addressed an issue that might have prevented some players from getting the Timewalking quest "The Shrouded Coin" from the last boss in their first dungeon of the week. Players that ran into this issue on a character should see one drop at the end of their next MoP Timewalking run.

Siren Isle

• Chef Chum Platter and Plank-Master Bluebelly can now be tagged by more players.

Season of Discovery

• The Protection Paladin T2.5 two-piece bonus is now correctly removed when the set bonus is broken.
• You can no longer use Fresh Holly, or Preserved Holly while Divine Steed is active.
• Shadowfiend can no longer be used in Neutral cities to cause the guards to attack the target that was engaged upon.
• Various Cat Form Druid abilities such as Berserk, Savage Roar, and Wild Strikes will now work properly during the Nefarion Druid Class call.

We’ve been extremely excited watching both existing players and brand new players level fresh characters in Season of Discovery these past several weeks since we made rune abilities purchasable on the Rune Broker.

With Phase 7 coming up fairly soon, we’re looking at ways to help new player-characters get caught up and ready for this new content. The role-specific set bonuses are incredibly impactful in Season of Discovery and a large part of player power, so we’re making all eight Tier 1 set tokens, and the belt, bracers, boots, and glove tokens for Tier 2 available on the Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor. Prices will be as follows:

• Tier 1 Wrists/Waist/Hands - 15 Tarnished Undermine Reals
• Tier 1 Feet/Shoulders - 20 Tarnished Undermine Reals
• Tier 2 Chest/Legs/Head - 25 Tarnished Undermine Reals
• Tier 2 Wrists/Waist/Hands/Feet - 35 Tarnished Undermine Reals

This should allow new and existing players catch up on the Tier 1 and Tier 2 set bonuses they might be missing in preparation for the new content.

We do not want to totally invalidate older raid content. We currently have no plans to expand the raid equipment present on the Undermine Real vendor, and we’ve focused this change exclusively on giving newer characters access to set bonuses that may be critically impactful to their character progression.

These will become available with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.
