WoW SoD hotfixes: All hotfixes in WoW Classic Season of Discovery phase 2

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery phase two released on Feb. 8. It increased level cap to 40, added a ton of new profession recipes and Runes, introduced Gnomeregan as a raid, and Stranglethorn Vale as the big PvP zone. But Blizzard Entertainment isn’t done with balancing the game.

Just like with Dragonflight, the devs are regularly keeping tabs on Season of Discovery phase two and tweaking it as needed. That might mean changing class balance on some days, and fixing bugs on others. Generally speaking, smaller hotfixes can be released any day of the week, but bigger ones are usually reserved for the weekly reset day that falls on Tuesdays for North American players and Wednesdays for Europe. Here are all hotfixes for WoW Classic Season of Discovery phase two.
