Blizzard has updated its running hotfix list for World of Warcraft, with the newest entries dated October 26, 2026. Most of the changes target Midnight, and many of them clean up issues in the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan, though there are also currency changes, dungeon tuning and Mythic raid adjustments worth knowing about.
Latest fixes and currency changes
The October 26 batch is small. Enhancement shamans should see Voltaic Blaze hit secondary targets again when Ula’tek is the main target, and Affliction warlocks get a fix for Summon Darkglare not displaying correctly in the Cooldown Manager. In Neighborhoods, capturing the Hallow’s End Shade of Seabreaker Skoloth now spawns only one chest, and a PvP fix stops Holy paladins’ Spreading the Word from putting Cleanse on cooldown when they cast Blessing of Protection.
The bigger changes landed on October 20:
- Mistcrests are now uncapped.
- Conquest and Bloody Tokens are now uncapped.
- The Spoils of War buff is active, raising Conquest gains by 50% and Honor gains by 40% in Battlegrounds and Arenas.
- The Venomous Equipment Chest can now be bought from Irissa Bloodstar, the Conquest quartermaster.
- Ascendant Venomstones unlock after the quest “Ascending with Venomstones”.
- The Fabled: Let Me Solo Him: Kindo’jan achievement can now be earned until weekly maintenance during the week of October 27.
Labyrinth of Kindo’jan cleanup
The labyrinth has received fixes almost every day. Highlights include the Kindo’jan encounter no longer failing when the boss reaches 1 health, scenario bosses correctly giving credit when defeated a second time in a run, and creatures no longer scaling their health and damage higher than intended in groups. Players can now hold up to 4 stacks of Carrying a Jan’alai Tear (up from 1), and the Impressive Treasure chests, piles and troves now require level 80 to loot instead of 90.
If you forgot to loot the Loa-Blessed Wayfarer mount or Loa-Blessed Victory toy from the Ancestral Bounty chest, you can now get them by speaking with Kinduru after completing the labyrinth. The maximum item level for the Ancient Hash’ey Battle Art enchantment was also raised to 344 (was 334), and those enchantments can now be applied to Warbound Until Equipped items.
Dungeon and raid tuning
On October 13, Blizzard toned down several dungeons, including Altar of Fangs, Murder Row, Ruby Life Pools, Temple of Sethraliss, The Blinding Vale and Voidscar Arena. Most of these are health and damage reductions on trash and bosses, such as Zaen Bladesorrow’s Fire Bomb dealing 33% less damage in Murder Row. Murder Row barrels also now show a visual indicator for their safe zone during Murder in a Row, after an earlier fix required players to stand closer to be protected.
In The Venomous Abyss, Mythic Sszorak takes 5 seconds longer to reach 100 rage, and The Coiled Altar sees fewer orbs, Virulent Mutations and Dreadmarch targets on Mythic. On all difficulties, Manifestations of Dread now despawn when their fixated target dies rather than picking a new player, and Eternal Nightfall’s cast time is 2 seconds longer.
Blizzard notes that some hotfixes may need a realm restart to take effect. The full list, including Classic-specific fixes, is on the official World of Warcraft site.
