| 02-10-2026 | Updates | CoA Changelog — October 2, 2026 (Detailed) Class Fixes Templar Sacred Swing is now fully usable after a dodge or parry. The ability requires the client-side aura Recently Parried or Dodged, which the client checks itself — the earlier fix only swapped the server's requirement for a defense state, so the client still greyed the button out. The aura is now granted properly (and the required Oath is kept) (#6159) Runemaster Palm Sigils now have their active effects implemented (#6116) Witch Hunter Unleashed hounds now go for your selected enemy instead of a random target (#6116) Knight of Xoroth Xoroth buffs now publish their remaining uses to the client (#6077) Brimstone Bludgeon replacement is now acquired correctly (#6077) Barbarian The highest rank of Brutal Shout is now exclusive (no stacking lower ranks) (#6077) Stormbringer Storm Ascendance now uses its captured model again (#6077) --- Prestige Over-level replacement ranks are removed on Prestige, so winding back to level 1 no longer leaves you with ranks above your new level (#6116) --- Professions / Woodworking No more duplicate Lumber Axe. The axe grant fired during character load — before the inventory was loaded — so the game thought you had none and handed out a second one, which then collided with your saved axe. Fixed so you keep your one axe (#6117) --- Core & Stability Health is now preserved while dead during power resets and health-aura changes — ports the upstream dead-health guards while keeping CoA's active power handling, so a dead body can no longer be given health back (#6148) --- Tools Terrain extraction now reads Ascension's full patch chain — the map extractor opens the client's complete patch set for CoA terrain, survives unknown liquid types, and allows map filtering (#6124) --- Verification (batches 6–8) Alongside the fixes above, a large set of class mechanics were verified against regression scenarios (no gameplay change), closing out the remaining batch reports — covering Starcaller, Necromancer, Knight of Xoroth, Bloodmage, Venomancer, Sun Cleric, Ranger, Tinker, Guardian, Cultist and more (#6077, #6116, #6123) |
| 22-06-2024 | Updates | 2026-10-01 CoA Changelog — October 1, 2026 (Complete) --- New & Restored Content Northshire Valley Revamp (#5764) Restored the full Northshire Valley revamp and the Spada quest family, and restored the Goldshire questline wiring. The revamp supersedes the realm update's earlier Northshire curation, while keeping the realm's 1660055–57 links and relic story. Relic storyline: purified relics now stay permanent; the realm's relic prayer handler is unbound and the relic prayer now casts at the relic's unique [KC] marker; relic camp spawns corrected. Theologian: portals' clickable flags restored; his third line now becomes his dying line. Kobold Warren: click is now the realm's 3-second Destroy cast, answered once per use, with the ambush raised to 75%; the warren link is tied to the completed Destroy cast. Mirror Shard inspection restored (Inspecting cast + Curse Shard): the Curse Shard is summoned at the shard itself and scaled to 0.75, mirror shard 7911013 moved, and the inspection runs through the completed cast. A goober spell that targets gameobjects is now cast at the object; the summon validator accepts attackInvoker 2 like the executor; the trainee casts again, Moroi speaks, and accept lines get a 20s cooldown. --- Class Fixes Reaper Dark Soul stamina now derived from armor penetration rating (#5969) Reap ↔ Decimation transform restored (#5969) Apparition applied to Underwalk stealth (#5969) Souls for the Slaughter auto-attack damage added (#5969) Harvesting Grounds now anchors and pulls escaping enemies (#5969) Bloodmage Blood Scent now applies its execute damage and leech (#5969) Keleseth's Calamity spell power restored (#6004) Blood Rituals heals the marked ally when Bloodmoon Blast is cast (#5934) General Bloodmage issue batch (#5908) Sun Cleric Anointed granted from Chosen King Hammer casts (#5969) Paired Bless auras preserved (#6004) Vow of the Valkyr now applies its crit-chance component (#5962) Valkyr's Grip — a dual-wielded two-hander now satisfies off-hand weapon spells (fixes Justice off-hand damage) (#5964) Fortuitous no longer flickers on and off around the 80% health threshold (#5963) Injunction taunt now engages combat (#6012) Witch Hunter Shadow Order rank 2 modifiers corrected (#5969) Talented Quickdraw critical strikes guaranteed (#5969) Shadow Trap now uses its data-defined radius (#5986) Feast of Talons triggers on manual hound calls (#5986) Desecrate now always triggers Shadowstorm (#5979) Captured Shadowhound display restored (#6012) Starcaller Healing Prayers healing coefficient added (#5969) Starshatter extended with Shattered Stars (#5969) Stormbringer Stormflow preserved and Unbridled Flow applied (#5969) Tinker Both native Incendiary Bullets ranks verified and working (#5969) Mechsuit now shows its suit model inside dungeons that forbid mounts — the mount helper used to fail with NO_MOUNTS_ALLOWED, so the suit ran without its model (#5891) Gatling Gun now uses your equipped gun inside the Mechsuit — the shapeshift form's attack speed made ranged damage use a druid-form level formula and ignore the gun (too strong at low level / without a gun) (#5901) Arcane Bionics now displays as a buff — its negative "healing taken" effect had made the whole aura show among debuffs (#5956) Chronomancer Gravity Bomb ranged-attack-power scaling applied (#5986) Temporal Anomaly banks absorbed damage and heals at expiry (#5986) Overcorrection preserves resolved overhealing (#5986) Barbarian Ancestral Evolution now reflects raid damage (#5986) Ancestral Keg now casts its aura when used (#5949) Brutal Shout and Enduring Shout no longer stack from the same Barbarian (#5917) Ranger Whipvine Arrow targets now capped by Advantage stacks (#5986) Added the missing Falcon Scout summon (#6004) Barbed Quills effects implemented (bleed and spread) (#6024) Primalist Instincts made exclusive per caster across active ranks (#5986) Mend Animal Spirit is now taught/acquired (#6024) Talented Boons now multiply during Convergence (#6012) Necromancer Minions now dismissed after talent removal (#6004) Command now works without raised minions (#6004) Animate wrapper cooldowns reduced (#6024) Cultist Hallucinations now mirror the owner (#6004) Insanity decays out of combat and Total Madness cleans up on expiry (#5919) Knight of Xoroth Level-appropriate Warbringer ranks retained (#6004); ranks 2–6 now chain to rank 1 (rank 6 consumes Demonfire and scales per stack) (#5950) Hellbound Charge applies its speed buff in no-mount instances (#5948) Runemaster Travel markers (Echo Rune, Warpdagger) are now non-attackable — hostile mobs could kill them before their scripted lifetime ended (#5907) Phase Out now applies Runeshroud — its triggered stealth spell only moved Runeshroud's cooldown by 1 ms, so the aura never landed (#5860) Talents & Spellbook First Heretic signature upload applied (#6004) Ballads restricted to Inspiration (#6004) All grouped free talents are now pick-one choices — 38 more entries (14 pairs, e.g. Spirit of Battle / Banner of Conquest, Knight's Song / Banner of Swiftness) were being granted automatically and are now proper choices (#6020) Others Guardian — Reprisal now consumes the Reprisal Ready buff it requires (#5936) Witch Doctor — only the highest Reclamation rank swaps for Spirit Volley (#5935) Witch Doctor — Voodoo restored (healing helper hidden) and the Mojo Cauldron display restored (#6012) Venomancer — Carapace Crash can summon its Scarab (Spider Lord) without an explicit target (#5968) Templar — Sacred Swing becomes usable after avoiding an attack (#5918) Pyromancer — corrected the Phoenix summon's wrong default model on databases that already applied the egg row (#5961) --- World Blackrock Altar now starts the Pyroguard Emberseer event (and the Stasis Generator starts the Gortok Palehoof event) (#5858) Magma Elementals now have fire immunity instead of nature — they pointed at the Nature immunity set, so Nature spells did nothing against a Fire-based mob (#5906) Capital training grounds now hold the level 60 Training Dummy — the WotLK level 70/80/83 dummies all resolve to the same 32666 model on Ascension clients, so the 47 higher-level spawns were removed (#5911) Added the missing Thunderkeg gameobject_template row (#5947) Camp Narache mailbox now uses the Tauren post-box model (still usable by both factions) (#5955) Removed a stray Dustwallow Tree (Woodcutting) that spawned inside Mulgore, 25 yards from a Mulgore tree node (#5954) --- Quality of Life & Core Tradesman's Scroll now lists Inscription and Jewelcrafting (#5946) Deleted characters are now recoverable by default — the delete method defaulted to erasing the rows, so .character deleted restore found nothing; it now unlinks instead, keeping the row for recovery (#5998) Prestige — level-reward mail is suppressed while a prestige cycle is active, so it isn't re-sent during a climb (#5929) Personal Bank now loads items with their owner — soulbound items were loaded with an empty owner GUID and failed the ownership check on withdrawal (the shared realm bank keeps the empty owner) (#5953) Challenges — store and reward-cache items are now exempt from the mail-take block under NO_MAIL / NO_OUTSIDE_INTERACTION (#5952);
