Changelog: October 2026 - part 1

Mythic+, Pit of Saron, Class Fixes & More

Mythic+

  • The Mythic+ dungeon list is no longer empty and shows the Midnight Season 1 dungeons.

  • Your first Mythic Keystone: clear every boss of a current-season dungeon on Mythic to receive a level 2 Mythic Keystone, if you don't have one.

  • Mythic Keystones are now saved. After you log out, your keystone keeps its dungeon, level and affixes instead of turning into "Mythic Level 0".

  • Keystones now only roll dungeons from the current season.

  • Mythic+ achievements can now be earned:

    • Midnight Keystone Explorer: Season 1.

    • Midnight Season 1: Resilient Keystone.

    • Achievements for timed runs of each dungeon.

    • The Mythic+ Rating achievements: Midnight Keystone Conqueror, Master, Hero and Legend: Season 1.

  • Characters who already have the required rating receive these achievements when they log in.

Pit of Saron

  • Quarry Camps:

    • The camp counter at the top of the screen now updates.

    • Each camp has the right guards, so all six camps can be freed.

    • Freed captives and workers flee a short distance and disappear, as on retail.

  • Ice Walls: every ice wall on the way to Scourgelord Tyrannus now opens and closes at the right moment. Before, they could block the run.

  • Scourgelord Tyrannus now chases the tank after landing instead of staying rooted in place.

  • After Ick and Krick, Rimefang carries Tyrannus along the retail route instead of flying through the walls.

  • Cryoburst's mark no longer stays on players forever.

  • Forgemaster Garfrost, Scourgelord Tyrannus, Lady Jaina Proudmoore and other creatures carry their weapons again.

Death Knight Starting Zone

The whole Death Knight starting chain in Plaguelands: The Scarlet Enclave has been checked against retail and fixed.

  • Quartermaster Ozorg is back in Acherus: The Ebon Hold.

  • Gothik the Harvester is now offered by Prince Valanar. An End To All Things... is offered by The Lich King at Death's Breach, and the follow-up quest now appears.

  • Unworthy Initiates gear up before the fight, open with Death Grip and return 10 seconds after dying.

  • Eye of Acherus flies at its retail speed.

  • Death's Challenge: the duel starts with a "3... 2... 1..." countdown, and initiates no longer get stuck.

  • The zone comes alive:

    • Citizens of Havenshire cower and beg for mercy.

    • Freed deathchargers rear up.

    • Gothik's ghouls jump into the pit.

    • Scarlet Fleet Defenders fire the cannon.

    • Many missing NPC lines were added.

  • Creatures in the zone are at the correct level again (many were level 1), and their loot is restored.

  • Quest objects and NPCs no longer disappear between chapters.

Classes

Evoker

  • Deep Breath now deals damage during the flight and lands correctly.

Demon Hunter

  • Fel Rush now works on the ground and in the air.

  • Line abilities such as Fel Rush no longer hit enemies beyond their range and now use their correct width.

  • You no longer fly far forward at high speed when an airborne dash ends.

  • Fixed a wrong character model for Night Elves, Tauren, Trolls, Worgen, Highmountain Tauren, Kul Tirans and Zandalari Trolls. Among other things, it hid the wings of Glide.

Warlock

  • Call Dreadstalkers now summons two Dreadstalkers. They leap at your target, bite with Dreadbite and grant Demonic Core when they expire.

  • Demonic Core now loses a stack for each Demonbolt it makes instant.

  • Demonic Gateway now works. Place a pair of gates and click one to leap to the other. The gates disappear when the warlock logs out.

Mage (Frost)

  • Freezing Rain now only triggers from Frozen Orb, and Comet Storm only from Ray of Frost. Before, they triggered from any cast, even summoning a mount.

  • Mirror Image now summons its images.

  • Frozen Orb now deals damage and applies Chilled.

  • Flash Freeze now grants Fingers of Frost only from Glacial Spike.

  • Ice Lance now consumes Fingers of Frost.

  • Ice Cold no longer prevents Blizzard and Frozen Orb from hitting.

All Classes

  • Talents can now be applied right after you choose your first specialization. Before, "Apply Changes" did nothing until a relog.

  • Base stats updated for all classes, levels 1–90.

  • The Training Dummy and PvP Training Dummy now stay in place and no longer flee from fear effects.

PvP

  • PvP Brawl: Southshore vs. Tarren Mill has been rebuilt from retail:

    • Each enemy kill gives your team 1 point. The first team to 150 wins, with a 30-minute time limit.

    • The classic PvP ranks are back. Every 10 honorable kills raise your rank and give bonus damage, healing, absorbs and health, and dying drops one rank.

    • The map is fully populated, the team scores are shown, and the start gate can no longer be opened early.

  • The "Enter Battle" popup now shows your queued role instead of always showing the tank icon.

  • Neutral Pandaren must now choose a faction before joining PvP. Before, they were placed on the Horde side.
