Recently, Blizzard released the patch notes for the upcoming 1.13.7 update to World of Warcraft Classic that will come alongside a scheduled weekly maintenance. The patch notes list different changes, particularly for various items and game buffs. It will also include several bug fixes and optimize the game’s overall performance.

According to the patch notes, update 1.13.7 will change the Chronoboon Displacer in World of Warcraft Classic. Players can obtain the Chronoboon Displacer by completing Chromie’s quest in Andorhal and use it to store any world buffs for later use, including Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Warchief’s Blessing, and Spirit of Zandalar. However, players can’t benefit from extra world buffs until they restore the ones in their current storage using a Supercharged Chronoboon Displacer.

The patch will also apply adjustments to make beneficial buffs in World of Warcraft Classic comparable to debuffs. This will reduce the chances of situations where low-impact buffs like Renew or Rejuvenation “push off” important ones used on players near the buff limit, such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer. The benefits from abilities such as Mark of the Champion, Rune of the Dawn, and Seal of the Dawn will be passive auras and won’t count toward a player’s buff cap.

The spell batching window will be reduced from 400ms to 10ms, letting most players’ abilities behave more responsively. Damage and healing will apply to targets faster, and certain in-game operations will resolve more quickly, like purchasing large quantities of items from vendors. Also, Paladin seals will only last for a short period once they’re replaced by a different seal, which means “seal twisting” is still possible.

The World of Warcraft patch will also make adjustments to various items. It will improve the combat behavior of guardians summoned from items like the Vanquished Tentacle of C’thun or Defender of the Timbermaw, making them readily engage in combat more. The patch also resolves issues with the Barov Peasant Caller trinket and the Eye of the Dead trinket.

The new patch will further fix a couple of bugs in World of Warcraft Classic, including the red glow effect of the Cryptstalker Headpiece. It fixes animation issues with the Brimstone Staff and Rhok’delar, Longbow of Ancient Keepers, and lastly City Guards will now properly respond to salute and wave emotes from players.

Here are the full 1.13.7 Patch Notes for World of Warcraft Classic:

Chronoboon Displacer

Players who complete Chromie’s quests in Andorhal can obtain an ancient artifact of Bronze Dragonflight magic. Use the Chronoboon Displacer to store any world buffs such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Warchief’s Blessing, and Spirit of Zandalar for later use. Click the Supercharged Chronoboon Displacer to restore your buffs with their previous remaining durations intact. You may not benefit from additional world buffs until you have restored any that you currently have stored in the Supercharged Chronoboon Displacer.

Gameplay Adjustments

Beneficial buff priority system

Beneficial buffs are now prioritized, similarly to how debuffs have been prioritized. This should help prevent situations where limited-duration or low impact buffs such as Renew, Rejuvenation, or 6-piece set bonuses would “push off” important buffs such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer or Flask of the Titans when used on a player that is near the buff limit. Mark of the Champion, Rune of the Dawn, and Seal of the Dawn’s benefits are now marked as “passive” auras and will no longer count towards the player buff cap.

Spell batching removed

The 400ms “spell batch” window has been reduced to 10ms. This should cause most player abilities to behave in a more responsive way, with damage and healing applied to targets faster. Certain operations in the game now resolve faster, such as purchasing multiple quantities of items from vendors rapidly. Paladin seals will now persist on the Paladin for a very short time after they’re replaced by a different seal, so that “seal twisting” remains possible.

Naxxrammas

There is now no area of the raised platform in Heigan the Unclean’s encounter space that is safe from Heigan’s mana burn while Heigan himself is on the platform. Fixed a few areas in the Heigan the Unclean encounter space where Plague Waves could overlap and deal double damage.

Items

Made several fixes and improvements to the combat behavior of guardians summoned from items such as the Vanquished Tentacle of C’thun, Defender of the Timbermaw, and Arcanite Dragonling to make them more likely to engage in combat in a wider variety of situations. Shadow Oil and Frost Oil can now proc while the player is on the Global Cooldown. (Developers’ note: Shadow Oil is still bound by an internal cooldown however, and this is intended)

Resolved an issue that caused the Barov Peasant Caller trinket to only spawn 1 Peasant. Resolved several issues with the Eye of the Dead trinket: Spells such as Chain Heal and Prayer of Healing now only consume a single charge. Heal-over-time spells now properly consume a charge when used.

Bug Fixes

The Cryptstalker Headpiece is no longer missing part of the red eye glow effect. Resolved an issue that caused the Brimstone Staff and Rhok’delar, Longbow of Ancient Keepers to not properly animate. City Guards now once again correctly respond to /salute and /wave emotes.

World of Warcraft Classic is available now on PC.
