WoW: Forever Hotfixes - November 11, 2026 (Blizzard update, 12 Nov)

12 Nov 2026 · Kaivax on the official forums

TL;DR
  • Item Restoration service has been disabled while Blizzard investigates and addresses a critical bug.
  • Paladin: Judgement is now a Ranged Attack, using Ranged Hit chance and no longer counting as melee for item and effect procs. Retribution's Unsealed Fury no longer generates echoes from Windfury Totem attacks.
  • Class fixes: Feral Rend and Tear now works on Pounce Bleed. Hunter Volley no longer activates procs or keeps channeling while moving. Confounding Flash (Gnome) and Twilight Focus now work in Shadowform. Shaman Flametongue Totem Rank 2 now works.
  • Riverglades: Twilight Enforcer's "Smash" damage is significantly reduced, Executioner Morg's damage is lowered, and Twilight Forgemaster's "Mark of Flames" now increases damage by 50 (was 1000).
  • Tailoring bags resized with more bolts required: Red Mageweave Bag (5 mageweave, 14 slots), Green Silk Pack (5 silk, 12 slots), Black Silk Pack (6 silk, 12 slots), Green and Red Woolen Bags (5 wool, 10 slots).
  • Other fixes: Bloody Claws of Attack now add +1 Fist/Unarmed skill, Earthen Silk Slippers' excess spell damage is removed, quests "Scarlet Diversions", "The Giant in the Den" and "Freedom for All Creatures" are fixed, and mounting in named areas of Shen'dralas is fixed.
