With that in mind, we will go over all of the updates that were added to World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 4 on July 29, 2024.

WoW SoD Phase 4 General Changes

  • Players who have the 18-slot version of the Bottomless Bag may now exchange the bag or the Pattern for the 20-slot version at Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay.
  • Players who have killed Magmadar but are unable to douse the Rune of Kress can now swap the Heat difficulty back and forth and should find you can now douse the Rune.
  • Lava Surgers in Molten Core will no longer spawn once Ragnaros has been defeated.
  • Fixed an issue with many of the class dungeon set bonuses. They can now only be triggered by abilities, and not by item use.
  • Ragnaros is no longer immune to Paladins’ Hand of Reckoning.
  • Fixed a bug interrupting eating or drinking when near a graveyard.
  • Fixed a bug where the incorrect version of Quel’Serrar could appear in this version of the game.
  • [With weekly restarts] The increased damage taken for low Fire Resistance in Molten Core on Heat 2 and Heat 3 has been reduced but is still extremely dangerous. Characters who are at 30 resistance lower than intended should now expect to take about 3 times normal damage (was guaranteed fatal).

Developers’ notes: This is intended to allow players who are dependent on Resistance Totems or Paladin Auras to have a chance to survive if briefly not within the range of those effects.
