Dungeon experience and encounters

  • Experience from enemy kills in dungeons is increased by 50%. This change concerns kill experience; it does not say quest experience or total dungeon experience rises by 50%.
  • Blizzard reports changes to The Drowned City, including correcting excessive creature damage, and fixes to encounters or loot in several other dungeons.

Items and class fixes

  • A fix addresses the Pouch of Violet Dust failing to grant the intended extra hour of Camp Benefits.
  • Warlocks who completed Summon Felsteed before the fix can summon their Felsteed once to receive apprentice riding skill, according to the developer note.
  • The notes also cover Hunter pet families, Mage Arcane Concentration, Priest Shadowform and Fear Ward, and other class issues.

Quests and the world

  • Blizzard reports that the quest items for The Monster Surfaces, Croaky’s Head and Elmpaw’s Head are now available to all players in a party.
