Dragonwrath Acquisition Rate Adjustments - Updated November 4

Since announcing our tuning adjustments to the acquisition rate of the legendary staff Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest in Firelands, we’ve been listening to your feedback, particularly about the acquisition rate for 10-player groups.

Upon further review, we’ve decided to increase the drops of Eternal Embers, Seething Cinders, and Smouldering Essences across both 10-player Normal and Heroic difficulties, so that the speed of acquiring Dragonwrath for those group sizes will be drastically increased.

We now expect:

  • During a 12-week period, a 25-player raid killing all 7 bosses in Firelands each week can expect to fully assemble 4-6 Legendary Dragonwrath staves.
  • During the same 12-week period, a 10-player raid killing all 7 bosses can expect to fully assemble 3-4.5 Legendary staves.

Please keep in mind that multiple staves can be assembled simultaneously, with up to 3 players collecting the different materials that drop from each boss.



UPDATED November 4

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear! We’re happy that you’re excited about the recent changes to 10-player Dragonwrath acquisition rates and we want to address those who prioritize 25-player groups. We’re are increasing the acquisition rates of all quest materials in 25 Normal and Heroic difficulties:

  • During a 12-week period, a 25-player group killing all 7 bosses in Firelands each week can expect to fully assemble 7.5-11.25 Legendary Dragonwrath staves.
  • During the same 12-week period, a 10-player group killing all 7 bosses can expect to fully assemble 3-4.5 Legendary staves.
  • Acquisition rates in 25-player raids are now approximately 2.5x faster than those of 10-player raids.
  • The updated acquisition rates previously mentioned for 10 player raids are the same.
  • We’re adding a second guaranteed mount, the Smoldering Egg of Millagazor, to 25-Heroic Ragnaros.

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you’re enjoying Rage of the Firelands. We’re looking forward to the launch of the Firelands raid next week!

Jani's Trashpile - New Mount Reward from Battle for Azeroth Expansion Achievement
Patch 11.0.7 introduces A Farewell to Arms, a new Battle for Azeroth expansion achievement that rewards players with Jani's Trashpile. This seems to be a mount that transforms the player's character, similar to Divine Kiss of Ohn'ahra and Sandstone Drake.




A Farewell to Arms Achievement List
A Farewell to Arms - Put an end to the Battle for Azeroth by completing the following achievements.


Achievement Changes
  • Expedition Leader no longer requires the PvP Island Expedition achievements (Island Slayer).
  • Azeroth of War achievements now only require 6 missions to be completed.


Public Test Realms - The War Within 11.0.7
The achievement A Farewell to Arms is now available for testing on the Public Test Realms, and players can copy their characters to check their progress. Please note that level 80 characters can currently be copied from Live to PTR only on two realms: Anasterian and Benedictus.

World of Warcraft Hotfixes - November 1, 2024

WoW’s 20th Anniversary
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent the Ancient Timewarped Scroll from dropping for players who completed “The Ancient Scroll” the week before. It should drop on your next Classic Timewalking run.

Cataclysm Classic
  • Resolved an issue that temporarily caused Guild Bank tabs 7 and 8 to not populate when viewed.
    • Developers' notes: It may be possible that players placed new items in the apparently empty Guild Bank slots between the launch of patch 4.4.1 and today's fix. To address this, we will apply another hotfix with weekly scheduled maintenance that will identify and move such items to any empty slots elsewhere in the Guild Bank. This may result in items being placed in tabs with different permission settings, and you may need to move them to get them to the intended slot. If you suspect this applies to you, you may wish to make space in your Guild Bank as soon as possible.
  • Hunter
    • Explosive Shot should no longer miss a tick of damage when being reapplied in quick succession.
  • Warrior
    • Reverted recent changes to the timing of Rend refreshes with the Warrior talents Lambs to the Slaughter and Blood and Thunder.
