WoW Forever Hotfixes: November 10 Auction House Deposit Relief, Enhancement Shaman Tuning & Level 48+ Quest Gold

lizzard Entertainment has published the official November 10, 2026 live server hotfixes for World of Warcraft: Forever. This update delivers major economy relief by dropping the minimum Auction House deposit fee from 1 silver down to 1 copper, boosts baseline gold rewards on Level 48+ quests to replace max-level XP-to-gold conversion, applies substantial tuning adjustments to Enhancement Shamans and Hunter pets, and resolves ability mechanics across Druids, Priests, and Paladins.

These changes are applied live on game realms without requiring a client patch download.

Auction House & Mail

• With realm restarts, adjusted the minimum deposit amount to 1 copper (was 1 silver).
• Fixed an issue causing unread mail to incorrectly read as from "Stormwind Auction House" for all players.
• Fixed an issue that caused some mail to be delivered in roughly 2 minutes instead of the intended 60-minute delivery time.

Quests & World

• Most quests with a quest level of 48 and higher now reward an increased amount of gold (or reward gold where they previously rewarded none).
• Developers' notes: Because the traditional max-level XP-to-gold conversion mechanic was disabled in WoW: Forever to prevent players from feeling obligated to stockpile quests until level 60, we wanted to ensure high-level adventurers receive generous baseline gold income for their mounts, repairs, and consumables.

Classes

Druid

• Fixed an issue where Omen of Clarity could not activate after swapping specializations.
• Restoration
• Nature's Swiftness now also makes Wild Growth instant.

Hunter

• Fixed a bug where pets erroneously had 150% of their normal health; this has been corrected to 115% of their normal health.
• Arcane Shot
• Mana cost changed to 11% of base Mana for all ranks.
• Developers' notes: This ensures the Mana cost across all ranks remains consistent and scales gradually with level. Overall Mana costs at levels 6 and 60 remain nearly identical, and are slightly lower for intermediate levels.
• Beast Mastery
• Summon Hawk Mana cost changed to 11% of base Mana for all ranks (matching Arcane Shot).
• Melee damage dealt by the Hawk pet was increased by about 80%.

Paladin

• Redoubt can now be tracked in the Cooldown Manager.

Priest

• Fixed an issue where the Revelation enchant was activated by Vampiric Embrace healing.
• Holy
• Fixed an issue where Holy Nova was not correctly unlearned when untalenting from the spell.

Shaman

• Maelstrom Weapon can now be tracked in the Cooldown Manager.
• Weapon imbues and Weapon totems can now be used at the same time.
• Developers' notes: Shamans can now benefit from Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem simultaneously, giving attacks a chance to trigger both effects.
• Enhancement
• Stormstrike damage reduced to 100% weapon damage (was 150%), and its cooldown was increased to 8 seconds (was 6 seconds).

Professions & Economy

• Vendor payout prices for specific Bind-on-Pickup crafted armor pieces from Leatherworking, Tailoring, and Blacksmithing were adjusted downward to align with intended single-craft personal progression.
