WoW Forever Hotfixes: November 5 Fixes & Known Issues List
Blizzard has posted its first set of WoW: Forever hotfixes since launch, plus an updated Known Issues list. Most fixes are small, but a few affect questing and PvP.
Hotfixes: 5 November 2026
| Area | Fix |
|---|---|
| Durotar | Yarrog Baneshadow was respawning more slowly than intended. Fixed. |
| Zephras | Lotheluum Starbreeze now offers training to Druids. |
| Dustwallow Marsh | Some murlocs were respawning too quickly. Fixed. |
| Swamp of Sorrows | Pelluk would sometimes not spawn. Fixed. |
| Items | Trade supply vendors on Zephras Isle now sell apprentice tradeskill bags. |
| Items | Mild Spices now sell to vendors for 1 copper each (was 2). |
| PvP | Plainsrunning can no longer stack in a battleground’s preparation phase, and stacks are cancelled when you carry a flag. |
| Quests | Incorrect text in “The Sisterhood of Elune” corrected. |
| Quests | Deathstalker Erland respawns much more quickly for “Escorting Erland”. |
Known issues (updated 5 November)
Blizzard says this is not a full list, only issues it considers notable and already tracked.
- Razorfen Kraul: a cauldron near Roogug can trap players who fall into it.
- PvP vendors: temporarily unavailable in Orgrimmar, Stormwind and Dalaran.
- Vorsha the Lasher (Ashenvale): the quest is disabled until a crash bug is fixed.
- Stormwind: guards direct players to “Fyrenz Stagazer” for transmog; the NPC is actually Fyrenz Vishonar. The Stormwind Keep entrance may also show flashing textures.
- Interface: bank pages display with their tabs outside the frame.
- Gamepad: an error can appear when deleting more than one rare or epic item, and push-to-talk instructions may show when joining voice chat.
What players are saying
These are player opinions, not Blizzard statements. Several forum threads complain about escort quests failing after phasing or layering, and about the minimum 1 silver Auction House deposit, which players say hurts low-level characters. Blizzard has not replied to the deposit threads as far as we can see.
