Season of Discovery

Demon Fall Canyon

Possibly due to "Demonic Deceptions", the Owlbeasts of Winterspring have attended a guided meditation retreat, expanding their pineal glands.
Zilbagob will now always be accessible when The Destructor's Wraith and Grimroot have been defeated.

Items

A new item -- Hand of Injustice -- is now available from Pix Xizzix, the Undermine Real vendor.
Added new shield enchant that grants 30 spell power and 55 healing power – Law of Nature. Available to learn for Enchanters. The pattern is available from Timbermaw Hold at Revered.
Added a temporary shield enchantment that grants 24 spell power, much like wizard oil -- Conductive Shield Coating. Available to learn for Enchanters. The pattern is available from Thorium Brotherhood at Honored.
Drinkable Stratholme Holy Water from Argent Dawn reputation will now recover 6618 mana over 30 seconds and will also grant 10 per Holy Water turned-in.
The Pattern: Embroidered Belt of the Archmage can now correctly be consumed by Tailors.
The Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag's materials have changed from requiring a Runecloth Bag to requiring the materials for the Runecloth Bag craft itself.

Quests

The quests "More Greater Moonstones" and "More Moondragon Scales" now have the correct item requirements to complete.
Players who were unable to fully access Mokvar and Deliana's Tier 0.5 exchange vendor options should now have full access if they have completed the corresponding quests:

"An Earnest Proposition" - Bracer
"Just Compensation" - Belt, Gloves
"Anthion's Parting Words" - Boots, Legs, Shoulders
"Saving the Best for Last" - Helm, Chest
A Nearby Kor'kron Elite and Ironforge Guard will also provide access to these vendor lists if Mokvar or Deliana are occupied.

Druid

Nourish will now benefit from, and consume Omen of Clarity's Clearcasting effect.

Developers' notes: Unlike in Cataclysm, Nourish in SoD has more upsides to it than just the mana cost - like the casting speed. So it makes sense for it to benefit from Clearcasting and to consume it as well.

Hunter

If you have have Lone Wolf engraved on your gear, spirit healers in battlegrounds will no longer resurrect your pet alongside you.

Mage

Presence of Mind now causes Chronostatic Preservation to instantly cast the Healing Portion of the spell, even if you did not have the buff active.
Presence of Mind is not consumed if Chronostatic Preservation's buff was already present and a release of the heal is used. This means you can Chronostatic Preservation pre-cast, use PoM, and release two Chronostatic Preservation casts back-to-back.
Ice Armor and Frost Armor will no longer proc Brain Freeze.
Brain Freeze and Hot Streak will no longer overwrite each other and can now both exist on a character at the same time.
Your Arcane Missiles will correctly have their cost reduced when both Missile Barrage and Brain Freeze are active at the same time.
If Hot Streak is gained while already casting Pyroblast, it will no longer be consumed. This can result in two free Pyroblasts back-to-back.
Frozen Orb will no longer despawn early if cast near a wall.
Arcane Barrage will now correctly interact with the Shatter talent when your target is Frozen or you have Fingers of Frost active.
Frozen Orb will now benefit from the Shatter talent if the target is Frozen.

Developers' notes: Because Fingers of Frost is applied through Frozen Orb and would be consumed quickly by it, Frozen Orb does not consume or benefit from Fingers of Frost.

Paladin

Inspiration Exemplar will no longer cause the player to stand up every tick.

Priest

Binding Heal will now correctly consume Surge of Light.
Void Zone will no longer return a 'no path available' error.

Shaman

Storm, Earth, and Fire's Earthbind Totem effect will now correctly hit every target instead of just one.
Shamans will no longer gain charges of Lightning Shield from Rolling Thunder when the rune is not equipped.

Warlock

Mark of Chaos will no longer fall off after 1 minute when Curse of Recklessness or Curse of Weakness is used.
Rune of Infernal Armor now drops for players even if they haven't previously completed discovery for Rune of Shadowflames.

Warrior

"Rift Away" can now be obtained at level 55.
Khonsu's fall catcher mechanism for Thunder Stomped players should be slightly better at rescuing them.

Comment by Relenshayour kidding me? Ranged attacks and ranged AP? why tf am i running endless emperor runs when the hunters get to buy an item? what other thing from this vendor do rets/prot pally need?Comment by Evencanesooo now there is zero reason to do EMP runs?Comment by Karatiryour kidding me? Ranged attacks and ranged AP? why tf am i running endless emperor runs when the hunters get to buy an item? what other thing from this vendor do rets/prot pally need?Comment by GogetterWow, that bag change is a kick in the di$k to people who haven't upgraded their bags yet.
Previously people could have the rune cloth ones made and run them until they can afford to upgrade them.
Now making a rune cloth bag is a dead-end trap and waste of mats while making them worthless.
Such an anti QoL change what are they thinking....Comment by SPF18your kidding me?

Such an anti QoL change what are they thinking....Comment by TheInnsanityHUNTERS KEEP WINNINGComment by NexumThis is a joke, we are farming BRD with low % drop chance and hunters just get it from the vendor after clearing few dungeons.Comment by greatbrownninjaNice changes. Now you just need to do something about the abomination that is the BRE/BRM pvp event. How in the world they managed to make something this god awful is beyond me.Comment by KeevoHunter being disqustingly OP with their traps, literally ruining the fun in every AV and BRM event.
What happens? They fkin give them a vendor obtained hand of justice in a hotfix..

You SoD devs are for sure smoking the strongest kind of crack.Comment by hjtywheres Valor of Azeroth for warriors still nothing on it, probably from ony head turn in at this point maybe even a realm wide unlockComment by RinoxCSWtf Blizzard... a guaranteed HoJ for hunters, and melees are killing each other over that 15% drop chance.I have done BRD 10+ times and only saw it drop 1 time.....da fuq.And everybody needs it. I thought SoD was targeted for casual players.Most ppl dont have the time to grind a dungeon 100 times, especially a huge one like BRD...."balanced". So unfair.At least up the drop chance for us FFS.Comment by Relenshasooo now there is zero reason to do EMP runs?Comment by Relenshayour kidding me?

LOL. So shield users can now flat out get 60sp just from weapon enchants? Are you god dang kidding me? Who is testing this?Comment by AdamRCI'd spend 100 real on a HoJComment by JasdoerHoly $%^& the amount of whiny !@#$s in this post. A bunch of entitled kids crying over a trinket that is easier to get for some classes. Who said everything had to be equal and fair? grow up you 35y old idiots. And no I dont play hunter, I play warrior and I farmed the HoJ, you know, playing the game. InsaneComment by the9tailyour kidding me? Ranged attacks and ranged AP? why tf am i running endless emperor runs when the hunters get to buy an item? what other thing from this vendor do rets/prot pally need?Comment by Beepbop123No way you guys just gave hunter’s which are the most busted class in phase 4 a new free HoJ trinket while every melee has to run countless emp runs for it.
