On September 8, 2023, Blizzard rolled out a round of Dragonflight hotfixes for Patch 10.1.7, Fury Incarnate. The batch cleaned up a Dragonriding race, several quests, a Demon Hunter campaign snag, and a legacy Mechagon quest, then closed two long-running WoW Classic Era PvP problems. Here is the recap of what changed that day.

Dragonriding and Quest Fixes

The Loamm Roamm Reverse Challenge, one of the Dragonriding races, had been failing to hand out its silver medal. Blizzard fixed the reward so the silver medal was once again granted correctly for a clean run.

Chromie's questline No Limits, which explored Eternus's past, no longer required players to finish the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon first. That opened the story step to anyone, regardless of whether they had cleared the dungeon, with Chromie guiding the way.

During Stepping into the Shadows, Maiev Shadowsong had been pointing players toward invisible Felflame Braziers. After the hotfix she correctly directed players to the braziers they could actually see. In the quest Not Today, Fate, Moraidormi stopped vanishing mid-quest and Nozdormu began stealthing at the right moments.

Demon Hunters who had been unable to interact with the Control Console could again return to The Fel Hammer and continue their Order Hall campaign. And with Tinkmaster Overspark visible once more, the legacy quest The Legend of Mechagon was available again to players above level 60, reopening the road into Mechagon.

WoW Classic Era Fixes

The same day brought two WoW Classic Era PvP corrections. First, weekly PvP contribution calculations were capped to the points a character still needed for their next rank. That closed an exploit where higher-ranked players intentionally took dishonorable kills to drop below their rank threshold and bank credit toward an extra rank.

Second, Blizzard fixed a bug that had been doubling the Honor reward from Alterac Valley marks turn-in quests. After the hotfix, those turn-ins paid the intended amount, bringing Honor gains back in line for everyone grinding the battleground.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was fixed in the September 8, 2023 WoW hotfixes?

The September 8, 2023 batch fixed the Loamm Roamm Reverse Challenge silver medal, removed the dungeon requirement from the No Limits quest, corrected the Maiev Shadowsong brazier issue, repaired Not Today, Fate, restored the Demon Hunter Control Console, and reopened The Legend of Mechagon. It also shipped two WoW Classic Era PvP fixes.

Did the No Limits quest still require Dawn of the Infinite?

No. After this hotfix, Chromie offered No Limits without requiring players to complete the Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon first. The questline, which dealt with Eternus's past, became accessible on its own rather than being gated behind the dungeon.

What was the Loamm Roamm Reverse Challenge?

The Loamm Roamm Reverse Challenge was a timed Dragonriding race in the Patch 10.1.7 content. Its silver medal reward had been failing to register, and the September 8 hotfix corrected it so a qualifying run again awarded the medal.

What level was needed for The Legend of Mechagon?

The Legend of Mechagon was available to players above level 60. The quest had been blocked because Tinkmaster Overspark was missing; once the hotfix made him visible again, eligible players could pick the quest back up.

What WoW Classic Era PvP fix shipped on September 8, 2023?

Weekly PvP contribution was capped to the points a character still needed for the next rank. This stopped players from intentionally taking dishonorable kills to drop below their rank and farm credit for an additional rank, an exploit that had let some climb faster than intended.

Was the Alterac Valley Honor bug fixed?

Yes. Alterac Valley marks turn-in quests had been paying double the intended Honor. The September 8, 2023 hotfix corrected the reward so the turn-ins granted the proper amount.

Which patch were these hotfixes for?

These were Dragonflight hotfixes for Patch 10.1.7, Fury Incarnate, alongside separate fixes for WoW Classic Era. Dragonflight has since been followed by The War Within and then Midnight, so this batch is part of the game's 2023 history.
