Campfire Patch Digest

Warrior · 2026-10-08 · fix

Demoralizing Shout

Demoralizing Shout again generates threat against affected enemies. This change does not resolve the separate older Rage wording conflict.

Warlock · 2026-10-08 · fix

Replacing a summoned demon

The existing demon is stunned while a replacement summon is being cast.

Shaman · 2026-10-08 · fix

Elemental Focus and Fire Nova

Fire Nova should no longer immediately consume an Elemental Focus effect that it has just triggered.

Priest · 2026-10-08 · mixed

Penance

Channel calculations and rank-specific healing and mana costs were adjusted. Effects differ across ranks, so this is a mixed change rather than an overall buff or nerf.

Paladin · 2026-10-08 · nerf

Retribution Aura

Spell-power coefficient: 13.3% → 6%

Retribution Aura receives less damage from spell power. Its base damage is also reduced separately; the coefficient alone does not describe total damage.

Mage · 2026-10-08 · fix

Early Frostbolt, Fireball and Arcane Missiles

Blizzard adjusted early spell ranks for smoother damage progression. The post does not supply a complete before-and-after damage table.

World · 2026-10-08 · update

Beta Legacy point grant

16 Legacy points reported granted

Blizzard reports completing the 16-point Legacy grant for beta testers. This is later fulfillment evidence, rather than the earlier promise; individual player receipt was not independently checked.

Hunter · 2026-10-08 · buff

Expose Prey

Duration: 5 s → 10 s

Expose Prey remains active longer after it is applied, extending its useful window.

World · 2026-10-08 · update

Dungeon experience

About +20% dungeon kill XP

Dungeon kills award approximately 20% more XP. Low-level enemy penalties again use each player's level; the restriction for extremely different party levels remains.

Druid · 2026-10-08 · nerf

Thorns

Spell-power coefficient: 13.3% → 6%

Thorns gains less damage from spell power, and its base damage returns to Vanilla values. This is a reduction in the stated scaling.

Druid · 2026-10-08 · buff

Bear / Dire Bear Form

Threat bonus: 30% → 50%

Blizzard reports a higher threat bonus for both bear forms. This supports tank threat; it is not a claim about total damage.

World · 2026-10-08 · update · announced / unconfirmed

Desolace reward requirements

Planned equip minimum: level 35

Matching level-35 equip requirements for rewards from that chain were announced for a future hotfix. The October 8 post does not confirm that this reward change has shipped.

World · 2026-10-08 · update

Gelkis / Magram quest access

Quest minimum: 30 → 35

The Desolace chain beginning with Valley of Bones now starts at level 35 instead of 30.

World · 2026-10-08 · update

City of Dalaran beta dungeon

Blizzard opened the City of Dalaran dungeon for beta testing on October 8. This announcement does not provide a verified boss roster or complete loot tables.

World · 2026-10-08 · known issue

Profession icon display

Some profession icons are broken in the beta. This is a reported display issue, not a confirmed fix.

World · 2026-10-08 · known issue

Unfinished beta textures

Blizzard lists some creature, mount and other textures as unfinished. Visual updates remain pending.

World · 2026-10-08 · known issue

Ferocity pet critical-strike display

The pet character sheet can show the wrong critical-strike value for Ferocity. Blizzard says the actual gameplay effect is unaffected.

Warrior · 2026-10-01 · conflict

Critical-hit Rage needs clarification

Source lists both +75% and +100%

Two lines in the same update give different values for extra Rage from basic-attack critical hits. Campfire is keeping the conflict visible instead of choosing an unsupported result.

Warrior · 2026-10-01 · redesign

Fury talent routes change

Lingering Rage: +2/4/6/8/10s before decay; Furious Precision: +4/7/10% off-hand hit

New talents support Rage retention, off-hand accuracy and healing after selected Rage abilities. Whirlwind uses both weapons without a talent point. Flurry now requires Death Wish instead of Enrage; review your build rather than assuming the old route still applies.

Known issues · 2026-10-01 · unclear · announced / unconfirmed

Debuff threat and Retribution Aura remain under review

Some debuffs, including Faerie Fire and Demoralizing Shout, fail to generate threat. Retribution Aura incorrectly uses the target’s spell power. The issue list also conflicts with the update’s Dual Wield Specialization correction; no delivery build is confirmed.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · updated

Questing respawns are adjusted

Many creatures and objects respawn faster in Hillsbrad Foothills, Ashenvale, Wetlands, Duskwood and Thousand Needles. This is a zone-wide selected summary; individual timers are not supplied.

Professions · 2026-10-01 · updated

More dungeon recipe drops are available

The update enables a group of intended random dungeon drops for Blacksmithing and Leatherworking. It does not identify every recipe, location or drop probability, so individual unconfirmed origins remain marked in the crafting guides.

Known issues · 2026-10-01 · unclear · announced / unconfirmed

Close-range attacks can be parried from behind

Enemies may block or parry attacks from behind when the attacker is very close. The reported workaround is to leave more space. This remains an issue report, not a verified fix.

Paladin · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Redoubt block chance

Ranks 1–5: 6/12/18/24/30% → 4/8/12/16/20%

Every rank grants less block chance. Holy Shield receives a separate increase in this update.

Paladin · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Champion of the Light conversion

Ranks 1–3: 33/66/100% → 20/40/60%

Less Intellect is converted into spell damage. The removed healing claim was a tooltip error; this talent did not grant healing.

Mage · 2026-10-01 · updated

Hot Streak becomes Heating Up

The Fire proc has a new name. Look for Heating Up when reviewing your talents and buffs. This is a rename, not a separate second proc.

Mage · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Evocation requires standing still

Moving can no longer be combined with Evocation. Choose a safe position before channeling.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · updated

Beta leveling reaches 30

Current announced beta ceiling: level 30

Characters can progress to level 30 in this update. Campfire’s higher-level reference guides are planning material; this announcement does not make all of that content beta-playable.

Hunter · 2026-10-01 · updated

Sniper Shot range window

45-yard range; next 3 shots gain 10 yards within 10s

The shot reaches 45 yards and temporarily extends the range of your next three shots. Plan the follow-up shots inside the ten-second window.

PvP · 2026-10-01 · updated

Honor prices and currency cap increase

Most costs: approximately +50% · Honor cap: 15,000 → 25,000

Most PvP gear and upgrade tokens cost roughly half again as much Honor. The higher currency cap makes room for these prices; check individual item costs rather than assuming every price changed equally.

Professions · 2026-10-01 · updated

Wand values and gathering behavior change

Common/uncommon crafted wands: vendor value 1 copper

Crafted common and uncommon wands now sell to vendors for one copper. Starter zones have fewer Poor Copper Veins, and each creature can again be skinned only once.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · fix

Gamepad support expands

The pet stable and compact party/raid controls receive gamepad support. Gamepad UI bindings remain fixed; rebinding affects the keyboard and mouse interface. Moving macros from a gamepad bar is also reported fixed.

Dungeons · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Dungeon quest bonus XP is reduced

Extra XP above normal quest values: −50%

The extra XP awarded above a normal quest’s value is cut in half. This does not say total dungeon quest XP is halved. Some rewards were also adjusted without a complete per-quest list.

Dungeons · 2026-10-01 · updated

Wetlands excavation and expanded dungeon access

Excavation Site: 26–31 · Razorfen Downs: 25+ · Uldaman: 30+

The beta adds Excavation Site: Wetlands and opens Razorfen Downs and Uldaman. These are the announced beta access ranges, not confirmed replacement recommendations for every Classic guide.

Druid · 2026-10-01 · redesign

New Feral energy conversion

55% base mana → 40 Energy; 16s cooldown; talent reduction 4/8s

Shifting Power trades mana for Cat energy, with a follow-on talent shortening its cooldown. Effects that discount shapeshifting also discount its mana cost.

Druid · 2026-10-01 · updated

Shapeshift and Disarm

Forms prevent new Disarm effects. Shifting after a Disarm does not remove the existing effect, and its damage penalty continues.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · fix

Cooldown tracking adds Rogue and racials

The Cooldown Manager now covers Rogue and racial abilities. Previously supported classes should no longer show duplicate entries for different ranks of the same spell.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · updated

Safer campfires and clearer camp buffs

No campfire damage below level 5; reduced damage below 90% health

Campfires no longer damage characters below level five and deal less damage when a character is below ninety percent health. Camp feature wording now clarifies which buffs cannot be combined.

Gameplay · 2026-10-01 · updated

More city barbershops

Darnassus and Thunder Bluff gain barbershops. Staff are present at the shops, and city guards can give directions.

Warrior · 2026-10-01 · buff

Bloodthirst

35% → 45%

Bloodthirst gains a larger attack-power contribution.

Warlock · 2026-10-01 · fix

Hellfire

Hellfire can critically strike.

Shaman · 2026-10-01 · fix

Totemic Recall

Totemic Recall restores mana again.

Rogue · 2026-10-01 · fix

Expose Armor

A missed Expose Armor no longer removes all combo points.

Priest · 2026-10-01 · fix

Devouring Plague

Devouring Plague can critically strike.

Paladin · 2026-10-01 · buff

Holy Shield

20% → 30%

Holy Shield provides a larger block chance bonus.

Mage · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Combustion

4 → 3

Combustion has one fewer charge.

Hunter · 2026-10-01 · nerf

Deflection

10% → 5%

The fifth rank grants less parry.

Druid · 2026-10-01 · fix

Swipe

Unknown → 3%

Swipe gains 3% of attack power; its tooltip correction is still pending.

Gameplay · 2026-09-24 · updated

Temporary beta talent reset discount

Discounted reset: 1 silver · discount returns after 1 hour

A talent reset costs one silver after sufficient time since the last reset. Repeated resets initially cost more, returning to one silver after an hour. This is a beta testing rule, not a permanent live-game price.

Warrior · 2026-09-24 · nerf

Slam

15 s → 18 s

Longer base cooldown; a separate talent can reduce it.

Warrior · 2026-09-24 · buff

Bloodthrill

10% → 20%

Higher top-rank proc chance; eligible attacks also changed.

Warlock · 2026-09-24 · fix

Voidwalker Sacrifice

Shield scaling uses ten percent of spell healing.

Shaman · 2026-09-24 · fix

Riptide

Critical healing now works.

Shaman · 2026-09-24 · unclear

Lightning Bolt

Ranks three and four gain damage; exact values are unstated.

Rogue · 2026-09-24 · fix

Sap

Sapping a PvP-flagged target flags the Rogue.

Priest · 2026-09-24 · fix

Starshards / Twilight Focus

The update reports Twilight Focus pushback protection working for Starshards. The issue list still promises a fix; delivery build is unknown.

Priest · 2026-09-24 · fix

Renew

Critical healing now works.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · nerf

Vengeance

5 stacks → 3 stacks

The maximum stack count falls.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · fix

Vengeance activation

The update limits activation to non-periodic critical hits. The issue list still promises a fix; this is separate from the stack-limit change.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · buff

Sacred Arbiter

10% → 20%

The Holy Strike damage bonus increases.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · unclear

Righteous Fury

90% → 60%

The wording and numeric direction disagree. Await clarification.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · buff

Holy Strike rank scaling

7 increased · 1 unchanged

Rank 1 stays at 25%; ranks 2–8 increase. These are weapon-damage coefficients, not total DPS. The issue list still promises a fix.

Paladin · 2026-09-24 · buff

Holy Strike

12 s → 10 s

Shorter cooldown; listed under Holy.

Mage · 2026-09-24 · buff

Wake of Fire

20 s → 30 s

More time to use the buff between fights.

Mage · 2026-09-24 · fix

Ignite

Damage multipliers no longer apply twice. Gameplay impact needs review.

Mage · 2026-09-24 · buff

Hot Streak

15 s → 20 s

The proc lasts longer.

Hunter · 2026-09-24 · fix

Sonic Blast

Bat pets can use the ability.

Hunter · 2026-09-24 · nerf

Furious Howl

-40% relative

The pet attack-power bonus is reduced.

Druid · 2026-09-24 · buff

Wrath

≈ +50% relative

Base damage rises by roughly half.

Druid · 2026-09-24 · fix

Rejuvenation

Critical healing now works.

Druid · 2026-09-24 · unclear

Primal Bite

Mangle is renamed; its signature debuff is removed.

Hunter · 2026-09-23 · fix · announced / unconfirmed

Auto Shot wind-up

Unknown → 0.5 s

A correction is planned for Auto Shot and wand wind-up. Timing and delivery remain unconfirmed.
