Boosted Flightstones and Crests in PvP - November 30 Hotfixes
Hey there, fellow adventurers! It's WowCarry here with some exciting news from the Dragonflight servers. Blizzard has just released a set of hotfixes that are bound to enhance your gaming experience. Whether you're into dungeons, raids, PvP, or exploring the vast world of Azeroth, there's something for everyone in this update. So, without further ado, let's dive into the details!
Dungeons and Raids
Black Rook Hold
In Black Rook Hold, Blizzard has addressed a pesky issue where the Shadowbolt Volley debuff from Dantalionax would sometimes linger on players even after defeating him. Say goodbye to that annoying affliction!
Court of Stars
Over at the Court of Stars, a fix has been implemented for Gerenth the Vile's Hypnosis Bat ability. Previously, it was mistakenly affecting players on non-keystone difficulties. But worry not, heroes! You can now delve into this challenging instance with peace of mind.
Dawn of the Infinite
If you've ever found yourself accidentally entering combat with Chronaxis or Pendule enemies while traversing the paths in Dawn of the Infinite, your troubles are now over. The latest hotfix has resolved this incidental issue, ensuring smoother gameplay for everyone.
Items
Onto the realm of items, Blizzard has taken care of a couple of concerns. First up, an issue that allowed the Smoldering Seedling to occasionally heal for more than intended has been fixed. Rest assured, the power of this item will now fall within the proper bounds.
In addition, the Ouroboreal Necklet will now trigger Ruby Serpent's Ward from Acid Rain damage as intended. This fix ensures that the full potential of this necklet is unlocked and ready to aid you in your adventures.
Player versus Player
PvP enthusiasts, rejoice! Blizzard has made some significant changes to the PvP system, specifically in the earned rewards department. Let's take a closer look at what's in store:
Crests
The number of crests obtained through rated PvP activities has received a boost across multiple ranks. This means that you can expect more prestigious rewards for your hard-fought victories.
- Whelpling crests are now only earned from Combatant 1 end-of-match activity (previously Combatant 1 and Combatant 2).
- Drake crests are now earned from Combatant 2, Challenger 1, and Challenger 2 end-of-match activity (previously Challenger 1, Challenger 2, Rival 1, and Rival 2).
- Wyrm crests are now earned from Rival 1 and Rival 2 end-of-match activity (previously Duelist).
- Aspect crests are now earned from Duelist and Elite end-of-match activity (previously Elite only).
Exciting changes, right? These adjustments aim to make the rewards more attainable for players across various skill levels, encouraging everyone to participate and excel in PvP battles.
Flightstone Earnings
In addition to the crests, the number of Flightstones earned from rated PvP has also been increased. Prepare to reap the benefits of your PvP endeavors with the following adjustments:
PvP Activity | Flightstone Earnings |
Rated BG wins | 45 Flightstones (previously 35) |
Rated BG losses | 20 Flightstones (previously 15) |
Arena 2v2 wins | 15 Flightstones (previously 10) |
Arena 3v3 wins | 15 Flightstones (previously 10) |
Solo Shuffle wins | 45 Flightstones (previously 35) |
Solo Shuffle losses | 15 Flightstones (previously 10) |
These adjustments provide increased incentive for players to engage in rated PvP activities, allowing you to earn more Flightstones to enhance your character's power.

Jewelcrafting
