WoW Forever November 5 hotfixes: quest spawns, Druid training and profession bags
Yarrog Baneshadow, Escorting Erland and Zephras training feature in the latest WoW Forever hotfixes. Here is what to recheck on your leveling route.
The fixes worth checking before your next quest loop
Blizzard’s hotfix notes dated November 5 were posted on the EU forum on November 6 at 02:35 UTC. The leveling changes cover missing services and quest NPCs, rather than a new leveling system.
| Where or what | Confirmed change |
|---|---|
| Durotar: Yarrog Baneshadow | Corrected a respawn that was slower than intended. |
| Silverpine: Escorting Erland | Deathstalker Erland returns much more quickly. |
| Zephras: Lotheluum Starbreeze | Druid training is available as expected. |
| Zephras trade suppliers | Apprentice tradeskill bags are now sold. |
| Swamp of Sorrows: Pelluk | Fixed cases where the NPC did not spawn. |
| Dustwallow Marsh murlocs | Corrected some excessively fast respawns. |
| The Sisterhood of Elune | Corrected quest text. |
| Mild Spices | Vendor sell value reduced from two copper to one. |

If you left one of these steps unfinished
Check your quest log before travelling back. A fix to an NPC does not tell you whether your character has accepted, finished or handed in its quest. Start with the state your character actually has.
For an escort, look for the NPC and check whether another player has already started the event. A faster respawn is useful, but the notes do not give an exact timer. There is no reason to rebuild your entire route around an invented countdown.
A useful stop for Skyborne Druids and crafters
If training or a supply purchase was the reason you stopped, revisit that service when it fits your next outing. Read the trainer’s available abilities or the vendor’s inventory before spending money.
Bag space and class training solve different problems. Our suggestion is to deal with the immediate blocker first, then return to the quest loop you were following. You do not need to restart your character because a launch service was missing.
Keep your leveling guide lined up with your quest log
When a quest has not awarded credit, marking an addon step complete will not make the game award it. Compare the quest’s actual objective with the instruction on screen before skipping anything.
If the game has awarded credit but Wisp still shows the old objective, send us the quest name, guide name, current step and Wisp version. If the NPC itself is still missing, include the zone and time in a Blizzard bug report. Those are different problems and need different fixes.
What these notes do not establish
These notes do not announce an increase to dungeon XP or a new questing XP rate. They also do not establish that every launch issue has been resolved. Use the specific fixes above when deciding whether to retry an interrupted step.
For a separate campfire objective problem, see our Great Outdoors walkthrough. It explains the reported sit workaround and how to check whether the game awarded credit.
