Hotfixes

August 13, 2026

Classes

Spirit Walk in the Vaults of Atal’utek should now apply to pets.
Warlock

Affliction

Fixed an issue where Seed of Corruption would not consume Shard Instability on cast.

Delves

Fixed an issue where the Delve Shadowguard Point: Shadowguard Survivor would not grant Great Vault credit upon completion.
Fixed a bug causing Ritual Sites to appear to grant Great Vault rewards that were inconsistent with the available Tiers. Next week, the Great Vault will reward the intended tiers 1-6 for week 1 activities.
Fixed an issue with the Corrosive Codex that caused Corrosive Powers unlocked on one character to not show up as available options in the Corrosive Codex for other characters.

Dungeons

Players who have not yet completed precursor campaign quests should now be able to be summoned to the Vaults of Atal’Utek by Altar of Fangs dungeon groups.
Altar of Fangs

Addressed an issue where Uncoiled Writhe constantly switches target with Spiteful Hunt.
Addressed an issue where interacting with Infusion Totem may fail to trigger the event.

Voidscar Arena

Addressed an issue where defeating Aegyra the Unyielding while she’s channeling Earthsplitter can fail to open the door to the arena.

Items

Fixed an issue that caused Venomjade Necklace to sometimes be invisible.

Lairs

Players cannot receive loot from Nymrissa Wavecaller more than once per week in World difficulty.

Player versus Player

Gorgoneion Gaze no longer petrifies players indefinitely.
Fixed a bug preventing Otherworldly Sparks of War from dropping in Naigtal and Val activities. The Naigtal and Val Sparks of War quests will no longer be offered when Season 2 begins.

Professions

Jewelcrafting and Tailoring Profession Knowledge books from the forces of Zul’jarra should now correctly award profession Knowledge. Players who got the books prior to this fix should be given the Knowledge retroactively.
Fixed an issue that caused Contract: Zul’jarra’s Forces to sometimes incorrectly apply Amani Tribe Contract when used.

Quests

Fixed an issue where players could begin Curse of Ula’tek campaign quests without first completing the main Midnight campaign.

Developers’ notes: The Curse of Ula’tek campaign was intended to require account completion of the main Midnight campaign before it could be started, as completing these features out of order could result in players being in a misleading or confusing state. Players who have not yet started the Curse of Ula’tek campaign must now complete the main Midnight campaign on one character per account. Any player-characters who have already started the Curse of Ula’tek campaign should be unaffected and can continue it and complete it.

Players who completed “Legends of the Haranir” quests split among multiple characters will now be able to resume “The Empty Cradle” questline.
“Cold As Ice” no longer sends players on a cold canoe ride into the abyss.
Removed an incorrect map marker for “A Suspicious Stew”.
Bob has been found and returned to his bartending.

World

Fixed a bug that could cause players to disconnect when entering the Lunarfall Garrison Excavation area.

Comment by aeonisdawnwingWhat about moving the entry of the house? pet beds costing 5 decor points while "Paw Pal Pet Bed" costing only 1, an outright "pay to win" cash shop abuse? pet bed filters not sticking properly and resetting every time you select a new one and you need to filter all over again to find pets? what about missing pets? where are your goddamn priorities, blizzard?

1) fix and enable changing housing entry
2) lower the pet bed decor point cost to 1 baseline
3) maybe make it so that pet filters stick unless you reset it manuallyComment by KubarianWhat about moving the entry of the house? pet beds costing 5 decor points while paw pal bed costing only 1, an outright "pay to win" cash shop abuse? pet bed filters not sticking properly and resetting every time you select a new one and you need to filter all over again to find pets? what about missing pets? where are your goddamn priorities, blizzard?

Also many existing World Events are not giving World credit in the Great Vault.Comment by MongYiiI am really disappointed that the entryway bug is not fixed yet.Comment by hadokenI really appreciate that they fixed all the Coiled Isle/Vault incurions/strikes/curses issues, which is a core gameplay loop in the new zone, so quickly!

Oh wait.Comment by GadrinthehunterI'm really disappointed that they caved to that one crybaby on the forums about not being able to get to the dungeon without doing the prereq quests. Might as well just make everything in game an instance. Lobby games are trash, Blizz.Comment by StreeturchinNot listed- The Ilvl 315 Voidforged crafted weapons have been nerfed down to 305.Comment by ScaryfoxI'm genuinely surprised anybody has been able to submit bug reports. It started taking over 5 minutes just to not get anywhere.Comment by rusbyNot listed- The Ilvl 315 Voidforged crafted weapons have been nerfed down to 305.Comment by FistolomewWould be nice to have that basement. I could delete a couple rooms and finish my house layout proper.Comment by MossysnailWHAT about the VAULT bug ffs you are ruining the new zone cause nobody can do the friggen events!Comment by NerdelbaumFixed an issue that caused Contract: Zul’jarra’s Forces to sometimes incorrectly apply Amani Tribe Contract when used.
