Season of Discovery Hotfixes - July 17

July 16, 2024

Season of Discovery

• Demon Fall Canyon
  • Possibly due to “Demonic Deceptions”, the Owlbeasts of Winterspring have attended a guided meditation retreat, expanding their pineal glands.
  • Zilbagob will now always be accessible when The Destructor's Wraith and Grimroot have been defeated.
• Items
  • A new item -- Hand of Injustice -- is now available from Pix Xizzix, the Undermine Real vendor.
  • Added new shield enchant that grants 30 spell power and 55 healing power – Law of Nature. Available to learn for Enchanters. The pattern is available from Timbermaw Hold at Revered.
  • Added a temporary shield enchantment that grants 24 spell power, much like wizard oil -- Conductive Shield Coating. Available to learn for Enchanters. The pattern is available from Thorium Brotherhood at Honored.
  • Drinkable Stratholme Holy Water from Argent Dawn reputation will now recover 6618 mana over 30 seconds and will also grant 10 per Holy Water turned-in.
  • The Pattern: Embroidered Belt of the Archmage can now correctly be consumed by Tailors.
  • The Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag's materials have changed from requiring a Runecloth Bag to requiring the materials for the Runecloth Bag craft itself.
• Quests
  • The quests “More Greater Moonstones” and “More Moondragon Scales” now have the correct item requirements to complete.
  • Players who were unable to fully access Mokvar and Deliana's Tier 0.5 exchange vendor options should now have full access if they have completed the corresponding quests:
    • “An Earnest Proposition” - Bracer
    • “Just Compensation” - Belt, Gloves
    • “Anthion's Parting Words” - Boots, Legs, Shoulders
    • “Saving the Best for Last” - Helm, Chest
    • A Nearby Kor'kron Elite and Ironforge Guard will also provide access to these vendor lists if Mokvar or Deliana are occupied.
• Druid
  • Nourish will now benefit from, and consume Omen of Clarity's Clearcasting effect.
    • Developers’ notes: Unlike in Cataclysm, Nourish in SoD has more upsides to it than just the mana cost - like the casting speed. So it makes sense for it to benefit from Clearcasting and to consume it as well.
• Hunter
• If you have have Lone Wolf engraved on your gear, spirit healers in battlegrounds will no longer resurrect your pet alongside you.
• Mage
  • Presence of Mind now causes Chronostatic Preservation to instantly cast the Healing Portion of the spell, even if you did not have the buff active.
  • Presence of Mind is not consumed if Chronostatic Preservation's buff was already present and a release of the heal is used. This means you can Chronostatic Preservation pre-cast, use PoM, and release two Chronostatic Preservation casts back-to-back.
  • Ice Armor and Frost Armor will no longer proc Brain Freeze.
  • Brain Freeze and Hot Streak will no longer overwrite each other and can now both exist on a character at the same time.
  • Your Arcane Missiles will correctly have their cost reduced when both Missile Barrage and Brain Freeze are active at the same time.
  • If Hot Streak is gained while already casting Pyroblast, it will no longer be consumed. This can result in two free Pyroblasts back-to-back.
  • Frozen Orb will no longer despawn early if cast near a wall.
  • Arcane Barrage will now correctly interact with the Shatter talent when your target is Frozen or you have Fingers of Frost active.
  • Frozen Orb will now benefit from the Shatter talent if the target is Frozen.
    • Developers’ notes: Because Fingers of Frost is applied through Frozen Orb and would be consumed quickly by it, Frozen Orb does not consume or benefit from Fingers of Frost.
• Paladin
• Inspiration Exemplar will no longer cause the player to stand up every tick.
• Priest
  • Binding Heal will now correctly consume Surge of Light.
  • Void Zone will no longer return a 'no path available’ error.
• Shaman
  • Storm, Earth, and Fire's Earthbind Totem effect will now correctly hit every target instead of just one.
  • Shamans will no longer gain charges of Lightning Shield from Rolling Thunder when the rune is not equipped.
• Warlock
  • Mark of Chaos will no longer fall off after 1 minute when Curse of Recklessness or Curse of Weakness is used.
  • Rune of Infernal Armor now drops for players even if they haven't previously completed discovery for Rune of Shadowflames.
• Warrior
  • “Rift Away” can now be obtained at level 55.
  • Khonsu's fall catcher mechanism for Thunder Stomped players should be slightly better at rescuing them.
