Known Issues - September 18, 2026
- Barber Chairs cause a LUA error.
- Character friends in Beta disabled.
- The minimap may be partially off the screen.
- Waylaid Crates do not function on items with a maximum stack size smaller than the quantity required. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Curiosities does not accept Greater Magic Essence, and incorrectly allows you to target Lesser Magic Essence. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Teldrassil - During the quest “Escaping Ban’ethil”, Sentinel Lynessa Duskblossom runs a bit too fast and spams her Strike ability. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Starshards (Night Elf Priest Racial) does not benefit from the Twilight Focus talent. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Vengeance (Retribution Paladin Talent) can activate off of periodic critical strikes. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Ranking up Holy Strike doesn’t feel great per rank. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Character pane does not display Level, Class or Titles (work in progress)
- Create Firestone Ranks 3 and 4 do not display the conjured item tooltip portion of these abilities. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
- Warlock pets do not display Mana as a resource on the character sheet, and do not mention the scaling from their master (work in progress).
- Warlock pets do not display the correct scaling for Health from Stamina on the character sheet (work in progress).
- Pet Hit chance for both Hunters and Warlocks do not display the master’s scaling coefficient (work in progress).
- Pet Expertise is not displayed for both Hunters and Warlocks (work in progress).
- Pet Movement Speed’s information on the character sheet is not displaying the correct base values in yards per second (work in progress).
- The Glancing Blow chance for casters is incorrect at all levels, and the damage reduction of a glancing blow is also incorrect (work in progress).
- The Glancing Blow damage reduction penalty for Melee is incorrect on targets that are higher level than themselves.
- The chance a Glancing Blow occurs is correct for all levels for melee characters, and the damage reduction penalty for Glancing Blows for equal-level targets is correct. It is only the damage reduction penalty against higher level targets that is incorrect (work in progress).
- Because of the above, the Glancing Blow chances displayed on the character sheet are not accurate (work in progress).
- You can open the Legacy System with the hotkey “Y” before reaching level 25. Doing so results in LUA errors on tab 1 and 3.
- Player’s may find they are unable to sign guild charters. To alleviate this, we have temporarily made it possible to hand-in a guild charter with no signatures. (work in progress)
- Coldridge Valley does not reveal on the map when explored. This will be fixed in the next Beta build.
- The Cooldown Manager is a work in progress. Complete implementation varies from class to class.
- Armor bonuses from consumables and buffs are multiplied by Bear Form armor bonuses.
- Queueing an On-Next Attack ability (Heroic Strike/Cleave/Raptor Strike) disables your spell queue window.
- Taking damage while channeling Arcane Missiles will fire off a full damage bolt instead of a bolt with truncated damage.
- Resurrection sickness’s duration is not correct at lower levels.
This post will be updated as issues are resolved and/or added to this list.

- Teldrassil - During the quest “Escaping Ban’ethil”, Sentinel Lynessa Duskblossom runs a bit too fast and spams her Strike ability. This is fixed in the next beta build.
