Bug fixes

The Instance difficulty banner

• The instance difficulty banner (near the minimap) now uses the correct skull icon for the corresponding instance difficulty (i.e., Normal difficulty now uses the correct normal skull icon instead of the red-eye skull which is for Mythic difficulty). This bug existed since patch 10.2.5.

Known issues

• Some players may find action bars 2 through 8 disabled upon login. Those affected will have to manually re-enable them in the Options for all their characters. Any pre-existing spells and keybindings should be unaffected.
• New level 10 and below characters may have the spells on their action bars fail to save on logout. This same problem may cause some existing characters to have all spells wiped from their action bar on logout if they do not create a new load-out. A fix for this is being worked on.
• If Steady Flight is the current chosen flight style, the mount type priority is mixed up with the [Summon Random Favorite Mount] ability. It will first look for any favorited Steady Flight-only mount (such as the  [Otterworldly Ottuk Carrier]), if it can't find one, it'll then try for any favorited ground mount else finally summon any kind of favorited flying mount.
• The proto-drake skeleton have had their camera angle reverted back to their Wrath of the Lich King angles when flying. This applies to the proto-drake mounts and the flyable fire hawk mounts.
• Evoker characters created prior to the War Within pre-patch (but not leveled) have had their level reset to 10. This is not intended and a fix is being looked into.
•  [Archivist's Elegant Bag] has had its model changed from a closed satchel to an open bag with tools. This is confirmed a bug.
• The Artifact interface for the  [Underlight Angler] is not properly displaying the available traits. However, unlocked traits still work as intended.

Void Storage purchased but remains inaccessible.

• Purchasing the Void Storage for characters that had not owned it prior will still be inaccessible even after purchasing it.
• Several mounts do not have its particles/effects when skyriding. This includes the  [Dark Phoenix],  [Iron Skyreaver],  [Smoldering Ember Wyrm], and possibly others.

Resolved

• The Warband Bank is temporarily disabled due to a critical issue. The issue has been fixed and the Warband Bank was enabled as of 30 July 2024.
• The Cinematics interface does not load the art correctly when viewed from the character selection screen. This was resolved on 1 August 2024.
• The Great Vault world map icon cannot be clicked to open the Great Vault interface, it instead adds a Map Pin to it. This was resolved with patch 11.0.2.
• The new mage teleportation screen visual effect displays a neon green border. This was resolved with patch 11.0.2.
•  [Ashes of Al'ar] is missing its trail particles/effect when skyriding. This was resolved with patch 11.0.2.
