WoW Forever known issues and hotfixes (Nov. 5–11, 2026): PvP vendors offline, Item Restoration disabled, quest and dungeon fixes — what Blizzard says
Video: “Launch Overview | World of Warcraft: Forever”, official World of Warcraft YouTube channel, published November 3, 2026 (6:00 PM Paris time), 30 min 39 s. Blizzard’s launch presentation of the game; it does not cover the hotfixes below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Wg46fwmb0
A week after launch, World of Warcraft: Forever is still being patched almost every day. Blizzard keeps two official lists: a “Known Issues” thread for problems it has confirmed and plans to fix, and a running “WoW: Forever Hotfixes” post for what has already been fixed live (dated November 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11). Below: what is still broken according to Blizzard, what has been fixed, and what you can do in the meantime. Both Blizzard pages were read on November 12, 2026 around 2:45 PM Paris time; TricknFix has not reproduced these bugs.
1. What Blizzard still lists as known issues
Blizzard describes the thread as issues that are “notable, impactful, and already tracked with plans to fix in the future”, adds that it “is not a comprehensive list”, and gives no fix dates. Its last edit is dated November 5, 2026 (11:07 PM Paris time):
PvP vendors: “temporarily unavailable in all locations (Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and Dalaran)”.
Razorfen Kraul: players can fall into a cauldron near Roogug and get stuck.
Gamepad: an error may appear when you try to delete more than one rare or epic item; push-to-talk keyboard instructions may be shown by mistake when you join a voice channel.
Stormwind guards send players to “Fyrenz Stagazer” for Transmogrification; the NPC is actually named Fyrenz Vishonar.
Bank: bank pages are displayed in pages, so the tabs are listed outside the frame.
Stormwind Keep: the entrance may not look as intended, with flashing textures.
The Ashenvale quest “Vorsha the Lasher”, disabled because of a crash bug, is now struck through in the thread: the November 6 hotfixes “resolved an issue with the quest ‘Vorsha the Lasher’ rudely lashing everyone in the zone”.
2. New on November 11: Item Restoration disabled
In the November 11 hotfixes, under Customer Support, Blizzard writes: “The Item Restoration service has been disabled while we investigate and address a critical bug.” No date is given for its return.
The same day, Blizzard fixed several quest blockers: the Command Tent in “Scarlet Diversions” (Western Plaguelands), the Witherbark Mallet that prevented players from continuing to “The Giant in the Den” (Arathi Highlands), and the cage door of “Freedom for All Creatures” (Feralas) that did not reset. It also fixed players being unable to mount in named areas of Shen’dralas.
Tailoring bags that were smaller than intended were adjusted (for example, Red Mageweave Bag: 14 slots, now 5 bolts of mageweave instead of 4).
3. Other fixes from November 5 to 10
Dungeons (November 9): experience for all enemy kills in dungeons increased by 50%; fixed players sometimes unable to release after dying in Blackfathom Deeps; fixed the Blackrock Depths throne room doors not opening after a wipe on Emperor Thaurissan; fixed players being able to mount inside Stratholme.
Dungeons (November 6): Zaetar’s Spirit now spawns after Princess Theradras in Maraudon; the portal to The Drowned City now teleports you inside correctly.
World (November 10): fixed players being sent to the wrong graveyard when they died; most quests level 48 and higher now also reward gold.
Fishing (November 10): a condition mismatch that made Fishing Racks fail to give lures was fixed, but Blizzard adds that it is “aware there are other ongoing issues with the Fishing Rack”, including “There is no loot” errors.
Many blocked or buggy quests were fixed on November 9 and 10 (for example “Jom-jom’s Escape”, “Fetch ‘n’ Fletch”, “Rescue OOX-22/FE!”, “Helping Hands”, “Chief Engineer Scooty”), plus class changes such as the Enhancement Shaman rework of November 10. The full list is in Blizzard’s post linked below.
4. What to do in the meantime
Stuck on a quest? Before abandoning it, search Blizzard’s hotfix post for its name: if it was fixed, relogging or retrying the step may be enough (our advice). If it is not listed, report it in-game or on the official WoW Forever Bug Report forum.
Item Restoration is off: until Blizzard re-enables it, be careful before deleting or selling a valuable item (our advice, not Blizzard’s).
On a gamepad, since the error happens when deleting more than one rare or epic item, deleting them one at a time may avoid it (our suggestion; Blizzard has not published a workaround).
PvP vendors: there is no return date yet; keep an eye on the Known Issues thread.
Crashes, “Fishing Rack” loot errors or a bug not on these lists: report it, and tell us in the discussion below what you see.
