The December 4 hotfix allows you to carry multiple filled Supply Shipment crates in your bags at once. Previously, if you lacked the materials to fill a crate while out farming Waylaid Supplies, your only options were to return to town, turn the crate in empty, or delete it entirely.
The change is most noticeable when a crate drops but you are short on the required stack — say 20 Peacebloom. Now you can fill it later without a detour, keeping your farming route intact.
The hotfix has a useful secondary effect: since you can hold pre-filled crates, it is now practical to buy materials from nearby players in the same zone rather than running to the Auction House. Quick gold in your bags and a nearby seller can close the material gap without breaking your route. This kind of field trade is exactly the cooperative loop SoD's supply system was designed to encourage.
The shores of The Zoram Strand near Blackfathom Deeps are now occupied by The Twilight's Hammer, extending the questline for The Orb of Soran'ruk to the outdoor zone. Blizzard noted this was not the original plan, but the outdoor presence adds narrative context to an encounter that previously only existed inside the raid.
An issue where players died incorrectly upon taking a Dream Portal while affected by the Dream Eater debuff during the Twilight Lord Kelris encounter has been resolved.
Between the supply system improvements and the Blackfathom Deeps fixes, Season of Discovery continues to sharpen up. If you want help clearing BFD or any other SoD dungeon, browse SoD dungeon carry options at WowCarry for experienced teams and flexible loot.

Yes, as of the December 4 hotfix. Previously only one filled crate could be held at a time; the hotfix removed that restriction so farmers can carry multiple pre-filled crates simultaneously.
Waylaid Supply crates drop from enemies across SoD zones. Each crate requires a specific set of materials to fill — herbs, ores, trade goods, or crafted items. Filled crates are turned in to Supply Officers for Waylaid Supplies reputation and gold rewards.
The Orb of Soran'ruk is a Warlock quest chain that involves Blackfathom Deeps. The December 4 hotfix added Twilight's Hammer enemies to The Zoram Strand outdoors to extend the quest's narrative reach beyond the raid entrance.
Earth Shield is a Shaman Rune discovered through a quest line in SoD. A bug was hiding the discovery quest from players; the December 4 hotfix corrected the visibility issue so the quest now appears as expected.
The December 4 patch fixed a bug where players could die incorrectly when using a Dream Portal while under the Dream Eater debuff during the Twilight Lord Kelris fight inside Blackfathom Deeps.
Yes, after the December 4 hotfix. Previously, being in a raid group prevented objective credit from being awarded. The fix allows the quest to complete normally regardless of group type.
