I hope the pet’s spell power bonus is also % from fire+shadow?

I am confirming with the dev that made the changes, but from what I can tell its only AP. We will revisit this if SP is not included

Please note that the talent does add SP to all pets, but not 45% of Fire+Shadow. And UP was adding SP until the recent changes.

I just checked and found that after the Spell Power update, the pet at 3/3 “UP” does not receive 45% of my fire+shadow SP. The imp pet cannot attack physically at all, so the AP bonus is useless for it. Imp has a 50% bonus from the UP talent,since now it only receives half of the 45%*(fire+shadow). Other pets can attack and have skills with a CD of 5–10 seconds and an SP mod of ~42%.

With the current version of the talent, the imp is useless. For other pets, this isn’t as critical, but it’s still a flaw...

Thank you for the detailed report. I can confirm that the SP bonus is not summing Fire+Shadow. This will be changed in the next restart.

Any info when Arena is released?

• Opened the excavation building and cave entrance at Bael Modan

Oh, thank the Gods. I might actually be able to run Uldaman now.
Will you please do the same for the exit from Amani'Alor into Stonetalon? That one has also been closed for months. Also, any word about bringing back the breadcrumb quests that Katya Hastings used to give, including the one that sends you to Kex Blowmaster whose quest is able to be completed again now that the digsite cave is opened up?

Sad to see the race dailies lose XP, it was fun seeing everyone gather there every day and wait patiently in line for their turn to race, was a nice little routine to my day

We have temporarily removed the XP gain while we look into possible solutions to players/bots who login daily only for the repeat XP. This was being abused especially on the HC server for risk free levels, and we are hoping to arrive to a more elegant solution that doesn't punish normal players.

You can restore the old Quest Line for High Elves where they joined to the Alliance for give more rep with Silvermoon Remnants.

And lock all repeatable quests behind a questline for kill the bots on that.

I didn’t notice these changes after today’s restart — the pet still has a 22.5% SP bonus from fire+shadow (3/3 UP).

• The rooftops next to the Lionheart Armory in the Trade District can now be reached from the alley

This exact change got me really sad when I was looking at the Forever changes.
Not because it's a bad change, it's a really good change. But because I was 100% sure that we would never get these small changes in Octo, that they might be too insignificant and take too much work to implement.

And now we do! You guys are literally the best. Keep proving that this version of Classic Plus is the superior one!
