Updates

After The Next Step, Horde characters continue with Welcome to Shen'dar Village from the Windshapers, and Alliance characters with the High Order version. Both now lead on to The Criminal Element. A High Order character no longer has to finish the Horde welcome first.

Among the Faithful asks you to learn the cultists plans. The wardrobe upstairs in the large house in Falaath Village showed an interact prompt, but the server refused it. Press the interact key and choose the line about hiding behind the wardrobe. The objective completes. Turn the quest in to Constable Aonda in Shen'dar Village.

A talent point can be spent from level 5 when the matching skills are trained. Logging in below level 10 wiped that tree before the saved ranks were read, and the empty tree was then saved. A rank you already chose now stays after login and after a world restart.

Casts on Zephras Isle used a missing zone skill, so the fish almost always escaped. The water now uses a starter-zone skill and has a catch table. A normal fishing skill can land a fish.

Shenaan Spellwind on Zephras Isle had only a greeting, so a mage learned nothing from her. She now teaches the same mage spells as the other mage trainer on the isle.

The first login froze the game. The launcher paused it to search for login keys that were not loaded yet, then the check failed and the screen stayed. The second try worked because the keys were already written. Launcher 1.8.14 writes the key when the world connection opens, before that check. Close the game, open the IceDNicco launcher, wait until it shows 1.8.14, press Play, and log in once.

Some creature spells were still hitting with the old flat dice, so a low-level fireball landed around 50 instead of the Forever amount for that level, about 7. Those spells now use the Forever percent of the level's spell budget. Classic spells stored as whole numbers, and spells cast by a player, a pet or a totem, stay on the classic dice. Characters are unchanged.

Starting the downloaded client could crash with ERROR #134, Invalid schema for StartupFiles, because a retail product was still listed beside Forever. Launcher 1.8.13 keeps only the Forever beta. Update the launcher, then press Play. Do not start a leftover ForeverLauncher.exe in the game folder.

A letter from one player to another was thrown away before it was stored. The mailbox sends the recipient as one line, the given name and the surname together. That line is read again, and the character is found by the given name. Log in again to send mail. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.

Alterac Valley had every upgrade of the same guard, and both factions, on one post. Extra copies of the same creature on the exact same point were removed. Aged and dying kodos, Achellios and his hounds, the Scholomance citizens, and two skyhoppers that shared a point now show one at a time. Camp pairs, mounts and spirit healers stay. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.

Forest Sprite, Wind Sprite, Standing Stone Vortex and Energizing Vortex on the Skyborne isle had about 100 times the health of a creature their level. Their health is normal again. Their damage was not part of this change. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.

Some new creature spells were stored as hundreds of times a normal hit, so a cloud or a bolt deleted a player. A direct hit now stops around a vanilla lightning bolt for that level, and a damage tick stays much smaller. Player, pet and totem spells are unchanged. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.

Portals in Forever Dalaran, the city in Alterac, did not answer a click. The gate to Stormwind, the portal back from Stormwind, the Purple Parlor and the Violet Citadel teleport again. The Stormwind gates answer the Alliance. Jessa Weaver, Alard Schmied, Linzy Blackbolt, Edward Egan and a stable master are in the city. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
