We want to take a moment to talk about WoW Token in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

The best way to start is to simply say that this wasn’t something we arrived at lightly. For the entirety of Classic so far, the WoW Classic team has been very resistant to the idea of adding WoW Token to any form of Classic in the Western regions (NA and EU). When WoW Classic started in 2019, adding something like token felt unimaginable to us, and that continued to be true for us–even late into Burning Crusade Classic–for a few reasons:

• In Vanilla WoW, the scarcity of gold is a major factor in how you approach your journey in Azeroth. From saving to get your first mount at 40, to picking and choosing which skills you wanted to learn while leveling so you could afford a new weapon or piece of armor. Later on at level 60, some form of time investment is needed to “maintain” a character in an ecosystem where flasks, resistance potions, and elixirs are such a major...

Just want to note that this fix becomes effective after you use the trinket one more time at the Oathstone of your choice.

Hey all! Here are today’s hotfixes.

Items and Rewards

• Fixed an issue where Dragonfire Bomb Dispenser’s charge stacks would be lost upon leaving combat.
• Ominous Chromatic Essence will now recall the player’s previously chosen Oathstone alignment when relogging without the trinket equipped.

Quests

• Characters who have completed “Moving On” will be able to start “Keeper of the Ossuary” on their alts if their alts are level 70. Alts will not have to complete the Azure Span introduction to gain access to the Blue Dragonflight quest.

The Fractures in Time PTR has been updated with the following changes:

    • Developers’ note: This week’s changes are intended to make it less trivial to achieve 100% uptime on Ebon Might, to ensure there’s room for player growth and mastery. Addit...

Greetings!

You might have noticed that we’ve done some shuffling lately on the Battle.Net App for PTR to support concurrent test environments. Starting with today’s PTR build, here’s a quick look at all of WoW PTR to make things more clear:

Public Test Realm (DF 10.1.5)
Current Status: Running 10.1.5
Realms: Iridikron with connected realm Fyrakk, Vyranoth with connected realm Raszageth
Install Location: \World of Warcraft\_xptr_

Public Test Realm (DF 10.1.0)
Current Status: Offline. We’ll use this for the next PTR cycle after 10.1.5 (and will be renamed in the BNet App)
Realms: Nobundo, Lycanthoth with connected realm Broxigar, Bendictus with connected realm Anasterian
Install Location: \World of Warcraft\_ptr_

Classic Season of...

Just want to be very clear–
The final chapter for the Embers of Neltharion questline will open up to all players, regardless of their personal raid progression, when Scalecommander Sarkareth becomes available in Raid Finder.

That story is related to the end of the raid. So in order for players to see the content as intended, we’ve made two possible requirements for the quest to be given: either (this week) you must have killed Sarkareth, or, for those who do not raid, the last chapter will open to you the same week as the final Raid Finder wing opens.

This way, we’re able to deliver the content to all without spoiling it for players who want to experience it chronologically.
