Stat weights recalculated with the new gear Not in the patch notes

Better gear is now available at many levels, so some stat weights, rankings and the level where a spec's own loop starts moved. This is this site's model reacting, not a game change.

Unsealed Wrath now lists a weapon requirement Not in the patch notes

The Retribution talent's game data now asks for a weapon. Paladins fight with one anyway, so it may change nothing in play.

WoW: Forever Hotfixes - November 6, 2026 Read on worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com

Here you will find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Forever.

This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

November 6, 2026

Classes

  • Fixed an issue with the Quick and the Dead Legacy Talent where it sometimes did not work as intended.

Cooldown Manager

  • The Cooldown Manager will now correctly display the duration of crowd control spells at all times, even when diminishing returns or mechanic reductions (like orc stun reduction) are factors.

Druid

  • Bloom will now correctly heal the target.
  • Fixed a bug where the tooltip of Bear Form claimed an incorrect health value increase. The functionality was correct, but the wrong value was reported.
  • The tooltip for Ravage reported an incorrect value for its damage, and the tooltip has been corrected. There was no change made to damage done.
  • Fixed the tooltip for Swiftmend to no longer incorrectly mention consuming the effect.

Mage

  • Fixed an issue where Mages were still learning the Research spell and then losing it upon relogging. This spell should not exist, and you should only have the Study spell after completing the relevant quest.
  • Fixed an issue with Arcane Blast where its duration was not properly 18 seconds.

Rogue

  • Shank will now display Rank 1 and Rank 2 in the tooltips.
  • While Boot Knife is talented, Shank will now correctly display the number of Combo Points it grants.

Warlock

  • Voidwalker base health increased by about 40 at all levels.
  • The Soul Siphon talent no longer incorrectly causes Wrack to increase its own damage.

Warrior

  • Fixed the tooltip for Reckless Swings to mention that it activates Gore Drinker.

Dungeons

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent Zaetar's Spirit from spawning after defeating Princess Theradras in Maraudon.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause some creatures inside Blackmaw Hold and The Drowned City to erroneously disengage.
  • The instance portal should now correctly teleport you inside The Drowned City

Enemies and NPCs

  • Dun Morogh - Fixed an issue where the troggs in Grol'bolar Quarry would respawn too quickly.
  • Durotar - Ridgeshade Lurkers now correctly have loot.
  • Riverglades - Krek the Noxious now has correct loot when defeated.
  • Swamp of Sorrows - Fixed an issue where Pelluk would sometimes not spawn.
  • Teldrassil - Fixed an issue where Lasher Sproutlings, Blooming Lashers, and Wrathvine were immune to nature damage.

Items

  • Searing Dagger is now only activated by spells that have a damaging component.

Professions

Leatherworking

  • Tanning Rack skill requirement lowered to 125 (was 140). This prevents it from being an obstacle to crafting various Leatherworking patterns that require 125 skill. Tanning Rack skill-ups lowered by 15 skill points to account for this.

Quests

  • Resolved an issue with the quest "Vorsha the Lasher" rudely lashing everyone in the zone.
  • Brewed a fresh pot of Darnassus's finest coffee for Kerlonian Evershade so he falls asleep less often during "The Sleeper Has Awakened". Players now also start with the Horn of Awakening item to wake him up when needed.
  • The quest "Rough Wolf Pelts" is now automatically cancelled if you unlearn the Skinning skill.
  • Resolved an issue with "Rediscovering the Light" where players were sometimes unable to heal NPCs.
  • Fixed an issue during the quest "Ammo for Rumbleshot" where players could not see loot if interacting immediately following another player.
  • Resolved an issue where some quest item drops in Riverglades were not shared by players in a party.
  • "Never Saddle on Quality" spawns and quest item drops should now be more plentiful.
  • The Abomimable Head dropped from The Baron in the Ruins of Lordaeron dungeon will now properly offer the quest "Unending Torment" for Horde players at level 15 (was level 16).
  • Damp Note drop rate increased. Eww.

Races

Night Elf

  • Fixed a bug granting Shadowmelded Druids access to Ravage and Pounce.

Orc

  • Fixes an issue where some Warlock pet abilities were benefitting too much from the Orc Command racial ability.

World

  • Deployed some improvements to the visibility of other players and their targets across relatively large distances.
  • Thunder Bluff - Fixed an issue where the Barbershop was darker than intended. We moooved the lights around.

November 5, 2026

Enemies and NPCs

  • Durotar - Fixed an issue where Yarrog Baneshadow was respawning more slowly than intended.
  • Zephras - Lotheluum Starbreeze now offers training to Druids as expected.
  • Dustwallow Marsh - Fixed an issue where some murlocs in Dustwallow Marsh were respawning too quickly.
  • Swamp of Sorrows - Fixed an issue where Pelluk would sometimes not spawn.

Items

  • Fixed an issue where trade supply vendors on Zephras Isle didn't sell apprentice tradeskill bags.
  • Mild Spices now sell to vendors for 1 copper each (was 2 copper).

Player versus Player

  • Fixed an issue where Plainsrunning could be stacked in a battleground's preparation phase.
  • Plainsrunning can no longer stack and stacks will be cancelled when carrying a flag in a battleground.

Quests

  • Fixed an issue with incorrect text in "The Sisterhood of Elune".
  • Deathstalker Erland respawns much more quickly for the quest "Escorting Erland".

Questions

When did WoW Forever build 70862 arrive?

This PC's game client had it by November 7, 2026.

Which trinkets did it weaken?

Adaptive Combat Assistant, Weakness Analyzer and Serenity Field.

Found by comparing the game files of build 1.60.1.70790 with 1.60.1.70862. Server-side changes, such as loot tables and creature behavior, do not show up this way.
