It was a big week for hotfixes, as 12.0.7 got many enhancements and improvements. Val was the zone in focus, with World Quests getting adjusted, Spirit Healers reinstated, and an affix nerfed. Naigtal also got a few changes, with the zone utility buffs getting improved. On the Delve side, Valeera became much more useful for healers. A cloak and a trinket got fixes, as did Loa Lorewalking, and especially the still ongoing Midsummer Fire Festival. The Omium Folio also got better, with account-wide prerequisite quests and more. Let’s dive in.
Delves
- When tank Valeera is accompanied by a healer, she now takes significantly less damage, scaling from 45% less damage at Tier 1 to 29% less damage at Tier 11.
- The Excavation Site 9 and Sidestreet Sluice delves should be reliably displaying the correct names again.
Dungeons and Raids
- Sporefall
- Resolved an issue causing players to be able to interact with the door to Funggor Hollow.
Items
- Rotmire’s Sporeheart once again triggers from Leech healing.

- During Loa Lorewalking (and Darkspear Heritage), Lukou’s portals will now allow transport while in combat.
Midsummer Fire Festival
- “Reignite the Skies: Orgrimmar” and “Reignite the Skies: Stormwind” Midsummer dailies unlocks are now account-wide.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the contents Satchel of Chilled Goods to reroll each time it was opened.
