Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Legion. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
Additional information about the expansion can be found below.
October 6
Hotfixes
Classes
- Warlock
- (Destruction) Dimensional Rift will no longer spawn portals that are out of range to do damage to your target.
Mythic Keystone Dungeons
- The amount of Artifact Power rewarded from end-of-run Mythic Keystone chests now increases with the Level of the Mythic Keystone Dungeon.
- When beating a Mythic Keystone timer by a margin so significant that your Keystone is upgraded by more than one step, you will earn multiple loot chests as before, however, the additional chests beyond the first will no longer contain Artifact Power.
- Developers’ Notes: These changes are aimed at aligning the efficiency of the different tiers of difficulty, so that a well-geared group of dungeon experts is rewarded more for tackling a high-level Mythic dungeon, rather than incentivized to stomp an entry-level dungeon.
Items
- The Archaeology World Quest heirloom reward Spear of Rethu should now be item level 700, as intended (was item level 605).

October 3
Hotfixes
Classes
- Mage
- Splitting Ice should now cause Glacial Spike to damage the secondary target for 80% of the damage dealt to the primary target, as intended.
- Monk
- Stagger now delays 40% of damage taken (was 35%), and now quickly fades after leaving combat.

Dungeons and Raids
(All dungeon and raid hotfixes will take effect with realm restarts in each region.)
- Black Rook Hold
- Mythic Keystone target time increased to 38 minutes (was 35 minutes).
- Eye of Azshara
- Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 35 minutes (was 36 minutes).
- Maw of Souls
- Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 24 minutes (was 25 minutes).
- Neltharion’s Lair
- Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 33 minutes (was 35 minutes).
- Emerald Nightmare
- Vantus Runes can now be used in Mythic Emerald Nightmare.
- Il’gynoth
- On Mythic difficulty, Il’gynoth’s health has been increased by 200%, but loses one-third of that value each time the Eye of Il’gynoth is defeated.
- On Mythic difficulty, each Nightmare Explosion now deals 20% more damage to the Eye of Il’gynoth.
- Developers’ Notes: A common strategy for Mythic Il’gynoth involved using raid compositions that focus on maximizing burst damage to complete the encounter in a single phase. This approach removes huge portions of the encounter and can overly favor a specific set of classes and specializations, causing negative social pressures in groups that have yet to reach this encounter. These changes ensure that raid groups must enter Il’gynoth’s core twice in order to complete the encounter on Mythic difficulty, but offset that change by speeding up the process of destroying the Eye to shorten the overall length of the encounter.
Professions
- Enchanting
- Crafted items that upgrade to epic quality should now disenchant into Leylight Shards or Chaos Crystals.
PvP
- Shaman Totems will no longer take unintended extra damage from players.
Quests
- Players are now able to turn in "Ritual Ruination" to Calydus in Dreadscar Rift if they don’t take the portal out of the scenario.
