WoW Forever Hotfixes November 6: Every Change

WoW Forever’s November 6 hotfixes are the second list since launch and the longest so far. Hotfixes change the game on Blizzard’s servers without a patch, so there’s nothing to download. The ones players will notice: Voidwalkers have more health, the Leatherworking Tanning Rack needs less skill, Kerlonian Evershade’s escort comes with a horn, and Maraudon’s last quest works again. Bigger class changes are planned for Tuesday, in WoW Forever class tuning on November 10.

Class fixes

Class	Fix
All	The Legacy talent The Quick and the Dead works every time
All	The Cooldown Manager shows crowd control durations correctly, even with diminishing returns or a stun reduction like the Orc’s
Druid	Bloom heals its target
Druid	Bear Form, Ravage and Swiftmend: tooltips corrected, no change to what they do
Mage	Mages no longer learn a Research spell and lose it on relog; Study comes from its quest
Mage	Arcane Blast’s buff lasts its full 18 sec
Rogue	Shank shows its rank, and the combo points it grants with Boot Knife
Warlock	Voidwalker base health up by about 40 at all levels
Warlock	Soul Siphon no longer makes Wrack raise its own damage
Warrior	Reckless Swings’s tooltip says it activates Gore Drinker
Night Elf	Shadowmelded Druids can no longer use Ravage and Pounce
Orc	Some Warlock pet abilities no longer get too much from the Orc’s Command racial

The Voidwalker change is a first step. Blizzard’s class tuning post says Voidwalkers and Hunter pets still aren’t as sturdy as it wants, and more comes on November 10.

What the game files show

Most of these fixes live on Blizzard’s servers, but two client builds that came out on November 7, 1.60.1.70840 and 1.60.1.70862, carry some of them in the files too:

Ravage and Pounce have a new aura restriction on every rank, which is the Shadowmeld fix.
Shank now has “Rank 1” and “Rank 2”, and with Boot Knife its tooltip says 2 combo points instead of 1.
Gore Drinker’s tooltip now lists Reckless Swings among the abilities that set it off.
Bear Form and Ravage read their numbers from the spell data instead of fixed text.
Command, the Orc racial, has one of its two effects cut from 5 to 0. Its tooltip still says Hunter and Warlock pets deal 5% more damage.

The Voidwalker’s health and the Tanning Rack’s skill aren’t in the client files; those come from the servers.

Dungeon fixes: Maraudon and the Drowned City

Maraudon: Zaetar’s Spirit appears again after Princess Theradras dies.
Blackmaw Hold and The Drowned City: some creatures no longer drop combat for no reason.
The Drowned City: the instance portal takes you inside.

Every dungeon’s level range is on WoW Forever dungeons.

Quest fixes

Quest	Fix
The Sleeper Has Awakened	Kerlonian Evershade falls asleep less often, and you start with the Horn of Awakening to wake him
Vorsha the Lasher	Vorsha no longer hits everyone in the zone
Rough Wolf Pelts	Cancelled automatically if you unlearn Skinning
Rediscovering the Light	The Injured Deathguard can always be healed
Ammo for Rumbleshot	Loot shows when you open the crate right after another player
Never Saddle on Quality	More leopards and more pelt drops
Unending Torment (Ruins of Lordaeron)	The Abominable Head from The Baron starts it at level 15, as intended (was 16)
Riverglades quests	Some quest drops are shared with your party
Damp Note	Drops more often

All seven named quests are on the roads of the BoF Guide, Bind on Forever’s free WoW Forever in-game leveling guide, so its cards already send you to the right spot.

Leatherworking: the Tanning Rack at 125

The Leatherworking recipe Tanning Rack now needs 125 skill instead of 140. The rack is a camp feature: you place it at a campfire, it works as a Camp Tent too, and many of Forever’s new patterns can only be made at one. Six of them are leg pieces learned at 125, such as Brawler’s Leather Legguards and Wisdom’s Leather Leggings, so for 15 points you could learn a pattern and not make it. Its skill-up colors moved down by 15 points with it. Every camp feature is in the camp builder, and the patterns are on WoW Forever Leatherworking.

Creatures, items and the world

Dun Morogh: the troggs in Gol’Bolar Quarry respawn more slowly.
Durotar: Ridgeshade Lurkers have loot.
Riverglades: Krek the Noxious drops the right loot.
Swamp of Sorrows: Pelluk spawns every time.
Teldrassil: Lasher Sproutlings, Blooming Lashers and Wrathvine take Nature damage again.
Searing Dagger: only spells that deal damage set it off.
The world: other players and their targets show from farther away. Thunder Bluff’s barbershop has more light.

The November 5 list is in WoW Forever hotfixes, November 5. The BoF Guide is on CurseForge and Wago.

Questions

What changed in the WoW Forever hotfixes on November 6?

Voidwalker base health went up by about 40 at all levels, the Leatherworking Tanning Rack now needs 125 skill instead of 140, Druid Bloom heals its target, Shadowmelded Night Elf Druids lost access to Ravage and Pounce, Maraudon's Zaetar's Spirit spawns again, and a dozen quests were fixed, including The Sleeper Has Awakened and Vorsha the Lasher.

What skill does the Tanning Rack need in WoW Forever?

125 Leatherworking since the November 6, 2026 hotfixes, down from 140, so it no longer blocks patterns that need 125. Its skill-ups were lowered by 15 points to match.

How do you stop Kerlonian Evershade falling asleep in WoW Forever?

Since the November 6 hotfixes he falls asleep less often during The Sleeper Has Awakened, and you start the escort with the Horn of Awakening, which wakes him up.

Can Night Elf Druids use Ravage from Shadowmeld in WoW Forever?

Not anymore. A bug let Shadowmelded Druids use Ravage and Pounce, which normally need Prowl. Blizzard fixed it on November 6, 2026.

Why did Zaetar's Spirit not spawn in Maraudon?

A bug stopped Zaetar's Spirit from appearing after Princess Theradras died, which blocked the quest turn-in there. The November 6 hotfixes fixed it.
