WoW Forever hotfixes Nov 5–6: quests & Riverglades

Blizzard has published an official WoW Forever hotfix list. The post is titled for 6 Nov and also records a 5 Nov block. It is separate from the modern-WoW / Classic hotfix thread. Full list: WoW: Forever Hotfixes — November 6, 2026 (also on news.blizzard.com). Checked 1:50pm AEDT Mon 9 Nov.

Quest fixes players were waiting on

• The Sleeper Has Awakened: Kerlonian Evershade falls asleep less often, and you now start with the Horn of Awakening to wake him when needed.
• Ammo for Rumbleshot: loot now shows if you interact right after another player.
• Unending Torment: the Abominable Head from The Baron in Ruins of Lordaeron now offers the quest for Horde players at level 15 (was 16). Blizzard’s post spells the item “Abomimable Head”.
• Riverglades: some quest item drops now share correctly in a party, and Krek the Noxious drops the correct loot. Blizzard names Riverglades in this official list.
• Also: Vorsha the Lasher no longer lashes the whole zone; Rough Wolf Pelts cancels if you unlearn Skinning; Rediscovering the Light healing works more reliably; Never Saddle on Quality spawns and drops are more plentiful; Damp Note drop rate is up.

Classes, dungeons and the rest (highlights)

• Warlock: Voidwalker base health up by about 40 at all levels; Soul Siphon no longer makes Wrack raise its own damage.
• Druid: Bloom now heals the target; several tooltips corrected (Bear Form, Ravage, Swiftmend) with no damage change for Ravage.
• Mage: Research no longer appears then vanishes on relog (Study is the intended spell); Arcane Blast duration fixed to 18 seconds.
• Other classes: Quick and the Dead Legacy Talent fix; Rogue Shank ranks/combo points with Boot Knife; Warrior Reckless Swings tooltip; Cooldown Manager shows crowd-control duration correctly with diminishing returns.
• Dungeons: Zaetar’s Spirit can spawn after Princess Theradras in Maraudon; Blackmaw Hold and The Drowned City creature disengage bugs fixed; The Drowned City portal teleports you inside correctly.
• Leatherworking: Tanning Rack skill requirement lowered to 125 (was 140), with skill-ups cut by 15 to match.
• PvP (5 Nov): Plainsrunning can no longer stack in battleground prep, and stacks clear when you carry a flag.
• World: better visibility of other players and their targets at longer range; Thunder Bluff Barbershop lighting fixed.
