The War Within expansion introduces Hero Talents as a new update to World of Warcraft classes. They are an evergreen form of character progression for each class specialization that introduces new powers and class fantasies. Feedback is critical to us as a part of creating an impactful and fun addition to the game, so we are sharing our goals for Hero Talents with the community to get first impressions of them and learn how well we’re meeting those goals.

Added to the OP:

As part of our change to Waylaid Supplies to make them no longer Unique, you can no longer hand in partially filled crates, and you’ll need to vendor those. At this time, the tooltip still says they can be turned in unfilled. We will deploy a hotfix for the tooltip as soon as possible.

Greetings Azeroth,

2024 is underway and it’s a big year for World of Warcraft as the game reaches a milestone 20-year anniversary!

To think that 20 years ago Facebook launched, MySpace was cool, and many of us were playing on a Nintendo DS and a Playstation Portable. Friends aired its final episode and Lost delivered its first. And that same year friends, family, and coworkers started playing a game called World of Warcraft!

It fills my heart that Azeroth has become home to so many different types of people and players around the globe who have shared memorable moments these past two decades. *hugs* As Morpheus cried in Matrix Reloaded (2003, but anyway) “WE are STILL here!” I’m glad I chose this rabbit hole and have never regretted how deep it goes. WoW is my wonderland – all day, every day.

As we work through today’s Classic Era maintenance, we’re currently tracking two notable issues.

First, we discovered an issue with the operation to purge mail that we described here. We’ve decided to not do that, and instead, we’re going to suspend the XP gain from turning in Marks of Honor at level 25 (in addition to removing the overflow mail from Marks of Honor). We suggest you spend your Marks before reaching 20 of them.

We also have an issue affecting interface addons. Some addons are producing errors or not functioning as they did before. We currently expect to go live with this issue, and we’ll then fix it as soon as possible.

We’ll let you know when the fix is completed.

Achievements

  • Fixed an issue in which the achievement Battle Mender: Season 3 was not providing progress.

Classes

  • Mage
    • Shifting Power’s visual will now appear smaller and should be less disruptive for the Mage’s allies.

Dungeons and Raids

  • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope
    • Fyrakk the Blazing
      • Flamebound and Shadowbound are no longer private auras.
      • Developers’ notes: We’ve observed that the common strategy for players executing the Flamebound and Shadowbound mechanics on Mythic Fyrakk involves cumbersome addon/macro setup and execution. Our goal with this change is to remove this burden for players who are progressing on this encounter and refocus the challenge on the gameplay.

Sometimes the server blades run a little slow in getting updates live before the forum threads show up. Sorry about that.

Make a mighty morphing moment for yourself or your party members when you deploy the Murkmorpher toy.* Deploying the toy will temporarily change your appearance into an ever-popular Westfall Story Murloc or other random, colorful variant of the amphibious biped variety.

Players can morph themselves and other party members into playful murlocs once every 60 minutes. The transformation lasts 20 minutes and stays active in combat, even after death.

It’s not being adjusted, but as you can see in the Trading Post this month (and tracking previous months), we’ve been adjusting pricing as we go, so it may still work out for you in the end.

Beginning February 2, the arena gates will open for the 2024 Dragonflight Season 3 Arena World Championship (AWC)! Tune in to the first two Cups on Twitch and YouTube to see how far the gladiators will go.

There’s a great deal at stake in Season 3, with only two opportuniti...

Hey all,

We’ve made a few of adjustments to the original article. We’ve corrected the item type for the Dueler’s Rosy Shoulder Cape so it notes it’s for “Shoulders” and not “Back/Cape.”

We’ve added the armor type for the Battlewraps of the Honored Valarjar to note that it is a Leather set.

We’ve corrected the price in the article for Buggsy to 250 down from 350.

The Vial of Endless Draconic Scales should now be added to the toybox to those who were affected.
