[Jamey]

This week another week full of bug fixes and some QoL improvements. Thank you for reporting all issues encountered.

• General fixes:
  • Fixed a long-standing respawn bug with Silithus Wind Stones. All Lesser Wind Stones now respawn after 5 minutes, Wind Stones after 15 minutes, and Greater Wind Stones after 3 hours, as per Blizzard respawn timers.
  • Linked an errant bonfire in Silithus to the Midsummer Fire Festival event so it doesn't remain year-round.
  • Item Wisdom of the Sages will now drop for everyone in the party.
  • Fixed sound effect of the item Gemstone of Ysera.
  • Fixed sound effect of item Arcane Goods and Pendant of Arcane.
  • Fixed the vendor price of the gloves of the Unknown.
  • Alah'Thalas civilians should no longer be skinnable. (Yes we know, horror)
  • Allowed mounting in Emerald Sanctum.
  • Allowed mounting in Booty Bay.
  • Fixed a mixup of stats between Dreamthread and Dreamsteel Mantles.
  • Fixed Emerald Sanctum hardmode Erennius not attacking sometimes.
  • The command "guildname" used to rename guilds now allows spaces.
  • Added safeguards to prevent Lord Blackwald II from respawning. Players who have previously exploited this bug will have the loot from exploited kills taken from them.
  • Corrected the melee damage schools of multiple creatures.
  • Mana Stalker will no longer cast Mana Burn on targets without mana.
  • Fixed exploit with Antu'sul summoning too many creatures.
  • Fixed the Nordanaar Inn moonwell.
  • The cooldown on Thornpod will now show correctly after changing maps or relogging.
  • Fixed equip effect of Uldum Construct Stompers.
  • Corrected movement type and waypoints for multiple creatures.
  • Various quest fixes by QA.
  • Fixed PvP not being disabled on flight paths.
  • Corrected Auberdine Sentinel waypoints.
  • Removed low-level item drops from various Gilneas NPCs.
  • Deeptide Mystic should now properly cast its spells.
  • Fixed an issue with Moroes not being interactable in Lower Karazhan Halls.
  • Fixed an issue where Shaman's Far Sight allowed the player to drop combat.
  • Fixed an issue where the Druid spell Emerald Blessing would decrease mounted speed.
  • Fixed some issues with Armor Penetration on items.
  • Fixed missing armor class on Regenerating Robe.

• The mid-patch itemization update is here! check viewtopic.php?t=10971 for details.

• We've heard your feedback on Hyjal and have made various changes to the zone and its content:
  
  • All Hyjal collectible quests reward a bright shard instead of a small one.
  • All Hyjal quest items for collectible quests no longer require the quest to be picked up in order to get the quest item.
  • Some collectible items drop rates increased to match other quests of similar difficulty.
  • Increased droprate of small dream shards from the elite trolls of Shadeflayer Tribe.
  • Increased droprate of small dream shards from Emerald Sanctum trash.
  • Increased droprate of dream shards and dreamscale from Erennius and Solnius in Emerald Sanctum.

• We've updated the ingame radio with all sorts of new tracks and tunes.

Please don't forget to delete your WDB folder!

Gnome Skinning when?

Glad I get to mount up in the Bay of Booty.

The Karazhan enchant items such as 'Invocation of Expansive Mind' still broken.
Cannot be applied to any items.
We have dozens of gold tied up in these useless glitched items.

Also Champ of Blood Ring Title is glitched
Also Thorium Spurs dont work

[Tacticalnelf]

That item is not working properly, the effect should be passive (on Equip) but is like an activated effect, and yet it is not possible to activate it

This is fixed now. Please clear your WDB and restart your client.

Any hope for drops being added to the new mobs in the Gnomeregan Reclamation Facility and surrounding area? Currently they have nothing unless a quest adds loot to them.

Also, Reclamation guards don't attack mobs that get close.

so still no fix to bloody belt buckle?

I cannot express how big this was. I honestly just gave up on the quests and dream shard farming after a while, I just didn't want to keep grinding roots and satyrs over and over again. I'll still ultimately need to, but this will at least make it more bearable and will not have me tied to a zone for months to get the recipes and items I want.

Great work as usual but am I the only one disappointed by the BB change?

• Allowed mounting in Booty Bay.

Imo everyone walking on the decks of BB is an iconic part of vanilla WoW.

Until you miss the boat by one second then it becomes the most annoying part of vanilla WoW
