Players Losing All gear and Bag Items on Login, Receiving Old Achievements, Free Timewalking Badges, Anniversary Packages and More

Recommended Posts

Something strange has been going on in the last day or so, as quite a few players have been getting some good but also some very bad news. First off we have the good but still weird part, as players have been receiving many achievements they had already gotten, with some even re-triggering their mail rewards, including old Anniversary packages:

Context: I noticed a bunch of old achivements re-triggered all of a sudden on my vanilla made druid. When I checked the mailbox, this is what I saw. - B1ackMagix
...
Same here. For me it was a lot if Mists stuff I had already done. There was also four separate anniversary xp boosts, not complaining. - Riff_Moranis
...
Same but I got a slightly different assortment of items. 15th and 16th anniversary boxes, the water walking mount equipment and some empty mail about currency conversion. At least I got 400 free timewalking badges from it. - Icebane08

So far, so good as those extra XP boosts and badges can't hurt, but some players had a bit of a cost to these free mails and many achievements re-triggering:

Yah this happened to a random alt of mine, also. Other characters were fine but my DH was stripped and bags gone/emptied. - RiskStrange3200
...
Same problem as me. I noticed 2 of my characters with the problem, went back to a few that didn't and now they are getting it. Basically any character (addons disabled) or not, it's happening suddenly when 10 seconds earlier it was fine when I checked. Clearly it's a massive bug as I'm reading a few others now getting it. Hopefully it's fixed tomorrow when the servers reset. - thats_so_cringe_bro
...
Same thing happened to me. I was livid when I saw my ticket was closed within 2 hours of submitting it - hapaplays
...
Same thing happened to me last night! Thank god on my old character.
I logged into check a BC reputation, looked at my character sheet (full of old epics), lookedi n my bags (full of old epics), looked at my bank (had 4 bags and some old gear). Looked at my reps and logged out.
Then realized I should check my other reps, logged directly back in and was butt naked, no bags, everything gone from bank... I laughed, but if that was my main I would not be happy. - 1K_Games

Now, it seems that the situation above is temporary as some players got all their gear and bag items back just by waiting a few hours. There are also things you can try to do to get them back faster:

Had similar issue where couple of my bags and half my gear disappeared. The first fix in this link helped. Get a bag, equip it and relog https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/165246 - domewzor
...
Equipping a bag and logging out might work. I have the same problem and said in a previous post that buying one from the AH (cheapest one) and equipping it worked (had to log out a few times) but mailing a bag to the character and equipping it hasn't worked. And it has been a few hours. So I don't know why the AH ones worked but mailing a bag to a character isn't. I also tried logging onto other alts and now they are having the problem. I decided not to mess with it anymore and just wait for the server reset soon. Maybe that will fix it. If not I'll have to just keep equipping bags I guess. lol - thats_so_cringe_bro


Hopefully this gets resolved for everyone affected, and for those that received their old anniversary packages or even timewalking badges all over again - enjoy!

      Blizzard somehow forgot to update the item level of BoA tokens from Dreamsurges to the Season 4 item level so they recently hotfixed it to 454.
      On live servers, Celestine the Harvest now sells BoA gear tokens with item level 454 (up from 415). Visit the active Dreamsurge location to find the vendor.

      Check out our Dreamsurges guide for more information about the event!

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.

      After completing the weekly quest you will receive 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms (containing gold or gear).
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.
