Update - February 5, 2026

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that prevented the Hammerhart Rumble! meta-event from granting additional progress toward the Complete a Meta-Event or Events in Castora or Events in Orr Wizard's Vault objective.
• Added Purified Rift Essence and Amalgamated Rift Essence, as well as their recipes, to Shaman Palak's wares in Shipwreck Strand.
• Fixed an issue that incorrectly prevented players from entering quickplay raid encounters if they did not own the corresponding expansion.
• Fixed an issue that could cause challenge motes to become available in quickplay raid encounters after all players were defeated.
• While we are addressing a damage-tracking issue that affects Deal 500,000 Damage Using Siege Equipment objectives in the Wizard's Vault, siege attacks will grant a constant amount of progress toward the objectives when they deal damage.
• Quickplay raid encounter squads will no longer automatically search for additional players while the party is in combat inside the encounter. This will mitigate cases that prevented players who were defeated when joining an in-progress quickplay raid encounter from having an opportunity to be revived.
•  Relic of the Forest Dweller: Fixed an issue that could cause projectiles to fire at incorrect angles.
• Fixed an issue that caused some quickplay raid encounter achievements and Wizard's Vault special objectives from properly progressing.
