Mount & Companion Pet Bug Fixed
We recently identified and fixed a bug affecting certain mounts and companion pets. Players trying to summon one of the affected mounts or vanity pets would run into a "Must have a %s equipped" error instead of the pet or mount appearing - this was not caused by your client or the Novacraft patch, so no action was needed on your end. Only a specific set of mounts and companions was affected, not all of them. The underlying issue has since been fixed on our end and the server has already been restarted with the fix live. If you previously ran into this error, just log in and try summoning your mount or companion again - it should work normally now. If you still experience any issues, please reach out to us so we can take another look. Thanks to everyone who reported this - your bug reports help us keep NovaCraft running smoothly!

Shop Skins Now Work For Every Class
We fixed an issue where Appearance Skins bought in the Shop wouldn't show up at the Transmogrifier unless your class, level and armor type matched the original item exactly. That restriction is gone. Every Shop skin - cloth, leather, mail or plate - can now be applied by any class at any level, on any equipped item in the matching slot. Want your Mage in Plate, or your level 10 Shaman in a level 60 set? Go for it. Pure cosmetics, zero restrictions. Your purchased skins are unlocked account-wide - head to Warpweaver in Stormwind or Orgrimmar to apply them to any of your characters.

Forge Your Legend: Gear Upgrades Have Arrived
A new master has set up shop in Stormwind and Orgrimmar: Grimbolt the Enhancer. For the right price in gold, he can push your weapons and armor far beyond their original power. Every upgrade raises an item's core power — up to +5% weapon damage or armor per level, all the way to +7 for a total of +35%. The first three levels are guaranteed, but from +4 on it becomes a gamble: a failed attempt resets the item back to +0. Play it safe with a Protection Elixir, which catches a failure at +3 instead — as long as you keep one ready. Buy Upgrade and Protection Elixirs from Grimbolt for gold, pick your target level, and let the enhancement run. Upgraded gear becomes soulbound, so every +7 is earned, not traded. How far will you dare to push? Grimbolt awaits in Stormwind (Trade District) and Orgrimmar (Valley of Strength).

Novakron Awakens - A Shot at a Legendary
Every 12 hours, the rare world boss Novakron stirs in Crystalsong Forest - a threat only the most seasoned level 80 adventurers should attempt. Any level 80 player who lands a hit and survives Novakron's fall is guaranteed an epic item by mail once the battle is over. On top of that, there is a 30% chance of an additional Legendary weapon - drawn completely at random from a pool of six: Thunderfury, Sulfuras, Atiesh, Warglaive of Azzinoth, Val'anyr, and Shadowmourne. The roll is not tailored to your class. Luck decides twice: first whether you get a Legendary at all, then which one it is. A true shot at owning one of the rarest weapons in the game, without ever setting foot in a raid. Gather your allies, head to Crystalsong Forest, and be there when Novakron rises.

Known Issue: Self-Bot Combat for Heavily Holy-Specced Paladins
We are aware of an issue affecting the AI combat companion (self-bot) system for Paladin characters that have invested most of their talent points into the Holy tree. In this situation, the bot can struggle to close the distance to a moving enemy during combat, leading to repeated "out of range" spell failures instead of landing hits. Paladins specced primarily into Retribution are not affected by this. As a temporary workaround, we recommend speccing more heavily into Retribution if you rely on the self-bot companion for solo combat. A Talent Reset is available in the shop if you would like to try this out. We are actively investigating the root cause and working on a proper fix. Thank you for your patience and for reporting this to us!

The Gates Are Under Siege
Demonic invaders have begun assaulting the gates of Stormwind and Orgrimmar - simultaneously, every 4 hours. A 10-minute warning is broadcast server-wide before each assault, giving everyone time to gear up and get to the gates in time. These invaders hit hard and will not go down easy. Fight alongside your AI companions to hold the line - every defender who takes part in the battle is rewarded by mail, win or lose. Rally at the gates when the warning sounds. Azeroth needs its heroes.

World Giants have awakened
Towering World Giants have awakened across Azeroth and Northrend. Ancient and powerful creatures now roam every zone, from Elwynn Forest to the frozen wastes of Icecrown. These rare elites are far stronger than anything else in the open world and guard powerful loot suited to your level. Defeat one and you earn rare weapons, armor, or - if fortune favors you - something truly epic. Every time a World Giant falls, a server-wide announcement will name the adventurer who struck the killing blow. Your victory will echo across the entire server. Good luck, hero.

Paladin Bot - Known Issue
We are currently experiencing issues with the AI bot for the Paladin class. Affected players may notice the bot becoming unresponsive or displaying "Out of Range" errors during combat instead of engaging enemies normally. We are actively investigating the root cause and working on a fix. We appreciate your patience and will update this post once the issue is resolved. In the meantime, other classes are unaffected and the bot works as expected there.

AoE Loot - loot multiple mobs at once
You can now loot multiple nearby mobs with a single click. After a fight you no longer need to click each corpse individually - just loot one body and everything within ~55 yards is automatically picked up. This saves a lot of time while grinding and makes the game flow much smoother.
