Season of Discovery
- Soul shoulder enchants are now stackable up to 20. Once purchased, these cannot be refunded.
- Wartorn Undermine Supply Crates now contain about twice as many Wartorn Scraps as before.
- Undead Slaying set bonuses now activate at 2 pieces (was 3).
- Karazhan Crypts
- Added a chance for Kharon and the Dark Rider to drop the neck piece from the apprentice you did NOT unlock.
- Developers’ notes: For example, if you release Kaigy Maryla, Kharon now has a chance to drop Sairuh’s Collar, and the Dark Rider now has a chance to drop Barian’s Choker. We are aware you can summon the Dark Rider before releasing an apprentice. If this happens, the Dark Rider does not have an additional drop chance.
- Naxxramas
- The exit portal that spawns in Sapphiron’s room after the boss has been defeated will now persist after players leave and soft reset the instance.

- Fixed an issue where the number of bosses killed on the hardest difficulty weren’t tracking properly if you soft reset your raid after killing Four Horsemen.
- Raid groups in a bugged state will be able to fight Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzad on their hard-mode difficulties after soft resetting their instances.
- The Spore Buff on Loatheb will no longer count towards the Dance of the Wicked dodge chance.
- The Spore Buff on Loatheb will no longer count towards the Elemental Shaman Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj 3-piece bonus, the Retribution Paladin T3 6-piece bonus, or the Shadow Priest T3 6-piece bonus for the purposes of increasing damage.
