Here are the hotfixes from today.

October 26, 2020

Classes

• Shaman
  • Enhancement
    • Primal Primer (Azerite Trait) now correctly activates when Flametongue Weapon is applied to your weapon.

Dungeons and Raids

• Experience granted to players in dungeons is now standardized, and does not change with the size of the player’s party.
  • Developers’ notes: This standardized experience value is equal to what the leveling player would have previously earned in a 5-person party. Dungeon experience was tuned around the expectation of full parties, and we saw that taplist loopholes in combination with pre-patch changes to dungeon scaling revealed some extreme leveling tactics by fewer than 5 players. We want dungeons to remain lucrative, and to be a valid alternative to questing and other experience sources, rather than to overshadow them.

Quests

• Anduin Wrynn should now be present in the throne room to turn in quests for players who are still on the Darkshore introduction storyline.
