WoW Forever hotfixes: quests worth retrying and Tanning Rack at 125
November 6 hotfixes address Ammo for Rumbleshot, Riverglades party drops and The Sleeper Has Awakened. Leatherworkers can also check the lower Tanning Rack requirement.
A few stalled quest steps deserve another look
Blizzard’s November 6 WoW Forever hotfix notes contain fixes for several frustrating leveling steps. If you left one of these unfinished, check your quest log before planning your next trip.
| Quest or area | Listed fix |
|---|---|
| Ammo for Rumbleshot | Loot visibility after another player interacts has been fixed. |
| The Sleeper Has Awakened | Kerlonian sleeps less often, and players start with the Horn of Awakening. |
| Rediscovering the Light | An issue preventing players from healing NPCs has been resolved. |
| Riverglades | Some party quest drops were not shared correctly. |
| Never Saddle on Quality | More plentiful spawns and quest-item drops. |

Tanning Rack now requires 125 Leatherworking
The Tanning Rack requirement drops from 140 to 125. Blizzard says this removes a barrier to patterns requiring 125 Leatherworking. Its skill-up thresholds also move down by 15.
If this blocked your next craft, check the recipe again before gathering materials for a different leveling plan. Make a short list of what you are missing, then see whether your next quest outing can cover any of it. There is little value in buying extra materials for a workaround you no longer need.
Maraudon and The Drowned City also get fixes
Zaetar’s Spirit should spawn after Princess Theradras in Maraudon. The Drowned City entrance portal has a fix, as do erroneous creature disengages there and in Blackmaw Hold.
If your group previously stopped because of one of these problems, check everyone’s remaining objectives before arranging another run. Agree whether you are returning for a particular quest or completing the whole dungeon. That avoids finding out halfway through that different players need different stops.
Before abandoning a quest, check what remains
Our advice is to read the current objective, inspect any quest item still in your bags and try the affected interaction again. Abandoning a quest can mean repeating work, so treat it as a separate troubleshooting step rather than the automatic response to a hotfix.
If the problem persists, note the quest name, your objective progress and what happened. A screenshot of the failed interaction is more useful for a bug report than a general description that the quest is broken.
These fixes are separate from the class tuning Blizzard plans for November 10. Check that date before assuming every announced change is already available.
