bit laughable that you don’t even bother to write something or even fix the legendary fiasco that’s going on right now specially after the game director said it shouldnt be difficult to get the memories.
So, I created and boosted this Paladin a day or two before December 1, 2020 with my shadowlands token. He came into the game with really crappy gear, and I thought “Hmm…I guess that’s just how it goes now?”. Then I saw this in Dec 1 hotfix:
Paladin
- General
- Fixed an issue that was causing Paladins that were boosted with a Shadowlands Character Boost to give the incorrect item level of equipment. The fix will only apply to newly created boost characters. If your boosted character still has the lower item level equipment, please contact Customer Support.
So, I submitted a ticket. I got a reply in 4 hours that basically said we’re too busy to fix your problem, look at the forum for a fix. The hotfix implies that a GM will remedy this error for boosted characters prior to the hotfix, doesn’t it?

After spending a week doing dozens upon dozens of dungeons trying to get memories, I was excited to see this. Then I ran dungeons ALL DAY today and still not a single memory has dropped. Literally, the only memories I have are the guaranteed drops from Torghast. What am I doing wrong?
Holy crap this is an extensive list. Nice work
Edit: typo.

Holy guacamole Blizz, you nuclear bombed leatherworking’s raw gold farm! It went from eeking out a couple gold per bow or crossbow when the market floods, to just the cost of the thread being worth more than the entire bow itself. I know you hate raw gold farms, but can you warn a player when you make something almost 900% more expensive?
If the raw material cost rises, just raise the price of the finished product. Economy 101. If the players still sell at previous price range… kinda on them no?
Raw gold farms generally refer to vendoring items. The “raw” refers to the price not being affected by the open market. And unfortunately you can’t haggle with the fruit seller in Ogrimmar.
Happy Friday! Here are the hotfixes from today.
DECEMBER 4, 2020
Allied Races
- Bloodthirsty Vulpera no longer get lost on the return home to their camps after leaving the Arena.
Classes
- Paladin
- General
- Punish the Guilty (Potency Conduit) damage has been reduced by 70%.

- Valfir the Unrelenting will no longer wander quite so far from his spawn.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sanguine Depths
- General Kaal
- After rescuing Essence of Z’rali and before the final fight, General Kaal now removes her Evasive Mantle upon entering combat to alleviate an issue if she is pulled to her next position in the gauntlet early.

- Scorched Crypt Keys will no longer drop if you already have one in your inventory.
Professions
- Fixed an issue where some professions were able to learn the recipe Novice Crafter’s Mark before Crafter’s Mark 1.
Quests
- Covenant Campaign
- “Prove Your Worth” can now be obtained after clearing quests from a full quest log.
- Covenant Campaign
- Players will now be able to complete the Ember Court unlock questline even while the World Quest “Tea Tales” is active. Affected players should seek out Tubbins in the Ember Ward to accept the quest “Formal Refreshments” to continue.
- Oribos, the Eternal City
- Highlord Bolvar Fordragon and Taelia Fordragon have leveled up on their listening skills and no longer talk over one another after the “A Glimpse into Darkness” quest cinematic has ended.
- Bastion
- Players who pass through Oribos, the Eternal City, and have an extra Broken Kyrian Flute in their bags that they cannot get rid of, should be taken care of thanks to an undisclosed Broker contact in the area.
- Ardenweald
- The location of Marasmius is now shown on the map for completing the daily quest “Glittering Gritty Goodness.”
The Maw: Eye of the Jailer
- Daily and weekly quests within the Maw can no longer be held beyond the day or week in which they were picked up by the player.
Torghast, Tower of the Damned
- Flame Vents and Soul Emanation traps now trigger less frequently and have slightly larger areas of effect.
- Rogue
- Anima Powers
- First Steps now correctly increases the damage of Subtlety’s Secret Technique (Talent).
- Warrior
- Anima Powers
- New Anima Power: Notched Axe Head (Rare) – Gain the Victorious effect every 20 seconds, allowing the use of Victory Rush (or Impending Victory, when talented).

WoW Classic
- Pets will now automatically attack hostile enemies and players when set to Aggressive stance.
- Addressed an issue where Damaged Necrotic Shards do not take damage from defeating Shadows of Doom.
- Entering Naxxramas now places you on the lower platform, while the teleport to Sapphiron’s Lair is triggered on the upper platform, allowing you to zone in and explore the 4 wings.
- Developers’ note: The behavior of immediately teleporting players to Sapphiron’s Lair upon re-entry to the raid following the defeat of the 4 wing-bosses, IS authentic, but we felt the inability to return and collect Frozen Runes that had been missed was punishing enough to warrant a change here. In keeping with the theme, however, there is still no escape from Frostwyrm Lair short of using your Hearthstone or teleporting. Naxxramas is, among other things, a prison, from which the damned find escape difficult.

It’s now December 4th, more than a week after they supposedly put out a hotfix for this, AND LEGION CONTENT SCALING IS STILL BROKEN! Why do they bother to say they fixed something when clearly they did no such thing! now they’re just ignoring it because they said they fixed it. I’m sure we’d all like to go back and get legion transmogs but we cant unless we do it in a group which was not the case with WoD content at level 50 (20 levels above the WoD expansion). Now we’re level 60 and Legion content is more difficult than basic Shadowlands content. Hell, Torghast is easier than normal Antorus or ToS. This is insane.

Another batch of hotfixes but yet From the Ashes remains bugged. It’s only 1.5% per charge.

So much for Ians promise to not overnerf.

Came to post this. According to parses it wasn’t more than twice better compared to other conduits. A 70% nerf kills this conduit which is a huge pain for those of us who spent hours upon hours farming it from heroics.
Per Bloodmallet parse data, this conduit has gone from the top, to becoming one of the worst.
