Wowaddicts Legion

Ore deposits can be mined while in combat, but herbs cannot be gathered while in combat. I've never heard about this being Blizzlike, and I also couldn't find any sources claiming this is how it should work in Legion or any other expansion for that matter. Taking damage while gathering should interrupt the gather in progress, but it should be possible to start gathering all mining and herbalism nodes while in combat (and finish the gather and successfully loot the node as long as one can avoid taking damage, for example by CCing the enemies).

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=33116/to-catch-a-shadow

This has been reported before and marked as fixed, but it still/again doesn't work. The provided quest item (https://www.wowhead.com/item=109246/guldans-soul-trap) seems to be casting not on targetted Gul'dan, but on the player instead, not completing the objective. I couldn't try if killing Gul'dan would give credit because he's lvl 100 boss elite with 104M HP and it would take me forever to kill him at lvl 95 when I found the quest, providing he didn't kill me first, since he deals quite a bit of damage. It's in the second WoD zone a player enters, so the quest should definitely be doable at lvl 95, and would be if the quest item worked properly. By the way, I tried killing Razuun that stands next to Gul'dan to see if it would complete the quest, but it didn't.

This has been reported before and marked as fixed, but I've tried it just now and it still doesn't work. I targetted the Controlled Darkwing (https://www.wowhead.com/npc=78550/controlled-darkwing), which is the actual name of the "controlled rylaks" that need to be freed. Then I used the quest item from afar, but also tested while standing close and even right next to the mob (of course this got me into combat with it). I've also tried killing them. Nothing worked. The quest item (https://www.wowhead.com/item=110447/rylak-mind-controller) seemed to be casting the spell onto the player instead of the target.

https://www.wowhead.com/object=228618/essence-font https://www.wowhead.com/object=237335/essence-font https://www.wowhead.com/object=228591/essence-font

These 3 links should be linking to the correct object (not sure why it exists under 3 different IDs for Alliance Garrison, might be because of the possibility to level the building up 3 times or some such).

https://www.wowhead.com/object=148512/essence-font#comments

This link doesn't seem to link to the problematic object, but the comments in it definitely do belong to this object, so I included it for more info.

The issue with Essence Font is that it should allow the player to disenchant WoD items without Enchanting profession, and it indeed asks if the item dropped on it should be "destroyed" and if confirmed, it also promptly destroys it, but it doesn't give back any enchanting materials that should result from the process (just like if the item was disenchanted by an enchanter). I've tried 3 items before I decided to not waste any more of them, just to make sure it's not just the same bug where all "lootable objects" (such as quest objects, herbs, mining deposits etc.) can be empty upon opening due to wrong settings for possible loot quantities. Either I was super unlucky and it is the same problem, or this one is different and related to the scripting of the object and its actions.

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=221514/skull-bash

In both cat form and bear form using this ability performs a short-distance "charge" animation that ends with the character always turned with its back to the target, which is wrong because of course the character should remain/end up facing the target.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=29552/critical-condition

Not available, or at least not from the instance of Mishka (https://www.wowhead.com/npc=54614/mishka) that should be giving it. Might be the wrong NPC ID Mishka is spawned in the location.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31733/touching-ground

Not available, or at least not available where it should be, possibly because quest chaining for this one actually works, and the quest before it (Unleash Hell) cannot be completed. Needs to be tested again once Unleash Hell is fixed. However, I can tell right now that the Skyfire ship model is a bit broken and the parachute is actually spawned, but a bit away from the model in the air (check attached screenshot). It is possible that with correct phasing the ship will actually move to that location, so hard to tell which part of all of this is a bug.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=30069/no-plan-survives-contact-with-the-enemy

Killing Garrosh'ar Gear-Greasers counts toward the quest objectives, but Garrosh'ar Grunts don't.

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=66398/garroshar-grunt#objective-of (for Unleash Hell)
https://www.wowhead.com/npc=66282/garroshar-grunt#objective-of (for No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy)

There should be multiple "kinds" of Garrosh'ar Grunt mobs in the database, so I suspect the issue is in mob ID and broken phasing of the whole area because the grunts available did count towards quest Unleash Hell (https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31732/unleash-hell).
1st phase should be after arrival to Pandaria, where player kills Shredders and Grunts using abilities of a flying machine, and destroys 2 ships. After that the phase should change and the player should do Touching Ground quest (https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31733/touching-ground) to get from the ship to the ground camp (this quest doesn't seem to be available on Wowaddicts). Then the player should do 2 next quests - No Plan Survives Contact with the Enemy and Welcome Wagons (https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31734/welcome-wagons) - and once they are handed in and the follow-up quest is completed (The Right Tool For The Job - https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31735/the-right-tool-for-the-job), the phase should change again and the sha creatures, that are currently spawned among the Garrosh'ar mobs, should appear and the Garrosh'ar mobs should be gone from this initial area.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31732/unleash-hell

The quest provides a flying machine that the player should ride and use its abilities to fulfill the objectives. The machine is provided, but it doesn't autofly along predetermined route (it can be piloted directly by the player), and its abilities don't do any damage to the quest objectives. The first ability (Full Autofire) can be used, but doesn't really do anything - it looks like it's firing, but it is just a visual effect that can't be targeted onto mobs in any way to deal damage. The second ability (Torpedo Rocket) can't even be used.

While it's possible to kill the required 60 Garrosh'ar Horde and 8 Garrosh'ar Shredders manually without the flying machine (slow, painful and annoying as it is), the other 2 objectives - destroying the 2 ships - can't be completed (I was kinda hoping there would be an object on the ships that I could click to destroy them, or that they would at least auto-complete after I killed the required number of enemies, but that didn't happen).

Also, phasing for that initial area is a mess - the sha creatures shouldn't be present in the area before player completes the first 2 or 3 quests dealing with the Garrosh'ar Horde. That said, conditional quest unlocking/chaining and zone phasing was pretty much non-existent even in other zones I've been to so far, and while annoying, it doesn't prevent progression, so…

note: the chance to trigger effect 1 is 7% in Legion instead of 5% displayed in 1st wowhead link - this is confirmed by changelog on wowhead and attached screenshot from Wowaddicts Legion server and client

I've only tested effects 1 and 2, which apply to Guardian spec druid that I play. Effect 1 wrongly consumes buff granted by effect 2 (2nd link) in the same talent activation instance, so whenever the talent is triggered, it automatically casts the "improved" Moonfire and grants 8 rage instead of casting basic Moonfire and granting a buff that would apply to the next Moonfire the player casts. I'm not sure what should happen if the talent triggers again before the buff from previous activation is consumed by the player, but 1 comment in 1st link suggests it should consume the old instance of the buff (the automatic Moonfire would be improved in this case) and apply a new instance of the buff which would be again available for the player to use as they see fit. This would make sense, but I couldn't confirm if this is how it was actually implemented on retail.

no task description

More testing needed, but the dungeon bots seem to not be willing to help in fights against certain dungeon enemies. I've encountered this in Utgarde Pinnacle. At start the bots helped me kill non-elite skeletons and also the first 2 packs of "viking" enemies without issues, but whenever I attacked the abominations (Patchwerk-like mobs), which were the next enemies in the way, the bots refused to engage.

I've tried porting out and back in. I've tried attacking and fighting for quite a while both of the available abominations - 1 can be bypassed, the other one needs to be cleared in order to proceed deeper into the dungeon. I've tried killing other mobs (the 2nd pack of "vikings") in between the abomination attempts to confirm the bots were still working, and they worked fine on those, but still not on the abominations.

I was doing the dungeon as a tank - guardian druid. I haven't tried doing it as other specs and I also haven't tried other dungeons yet.

Not sure what rules currently control the bots, but at the very least the bots should attack anything the player is in combat with, preferably player's target if it exists, and the healer bot should definitely heal the player if player is taking damage (my healer bot would have let me as a tank die to those abominations if I were not able to heal myself until I gave up and ported out of dungeon to save my life, although it healed me ok on the other mob packs - skeletons and vikings).

Player XP gained from gathering herbs and mining needs adjustments - it's way too low at the moment and doesn't even seem to work for herb gathering beyond herbalism skill level 51. I think the herbalism issue is related to the fact that even quite high-level herbs stop giving skill-ups long before they should, and this in turn is likely related to item/object level settings in database + possibly wrong formulas for calculation of skill point gains and player XP.

This is the best resource/description I could find on the topic of player XP from herb gathering and mining so far, but more research will likely be needed in order to get the system working in a Blizzlike fashion (most notably it'll be necessary to find and implement correct levels for each herb and ore node and items they can yield):
https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Formulas:Gather_XP

Herbalism nodes need skill level adjustments - they stop granting skill-ups way too early. My herbalism profession is at skill 51 and I'm no longer getting skill-ups from any herbs in Vanilla zones (one should be able to get to at least skill 300 in the Vanilla "endgame" zones gathering Mountain Silversage and other high-level Vanilla herbs). I've also tried Felweed, which is first TBC herb one encounters after entering Outland, but that doesn't give skill-ups at skill level 51 either. I'm heading to Northrend now, so I'll report in comments if I find any herbs that still let me level herbalism.

https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Pet_Battle_System#Experience

I've fought a lvl 5 frog with my lvl 5 raven. My team had 3 pets on it, all lvl 5, but only the raven participated, so the other 2 pets shouldn't be getting any XP in this case (and they indeed didn't get any XP, so the issue isn't caused by XP being split). Defeating the frog awarded my raven 23 XP. This is way too little - based on the formula on the provided website, it should have gained (5 + 9) * (5 - 5 + 5) * 1 = 14 * 5 = 70 XP. Of course, in a more complex battle situation the formula alone isn't enough to calculate XP for each pet correctly, so please refer to the provided website (and possibly other sources) for more detailed info on the XP calculation in specific scenarios.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=31316/julia-the-pet-tamer https://www.wowhead.com/npc=64330/julia-stevens

When I defeated Julia Stevens in a pet battle for this quest, she disappeared instead of staying where she was and letting me talk to her to hand in the completed quest. This shouldn't happen.

If the first battle pet on player's team is dead, it still enters battle when the player starts a match (for example against a wild pet). This makes no sense, it should automatically be skipped and the next pet on player's team should be used instead. And if all pets on player's team are dead, it shouldn't be possible to start a match at all.

Even though it should be possible to have multiple (up to 3) copies of (almost?) all pets, and indeed multiple copies of the same pet can be caught through pet battles in the wild, it is impossible to add more than 1 copy of pets that are "learnt" from items, for example cats from the cat vendor in Elwynn Forest. The item is "consumed", but if a copy of that pet already is in the Pet Journal, another one is not added, even though it should be up to the total number of 3.

Here are some examples of pets from items that I've tried to get so far:
- https://www.wowhead.com/item=8485/cat-carrier-bombay - https://www.wowhead.com/item=8501/hawk-owl - https://www.wowhead.com/item=8487/cat-carrier-orange-tabby - this one is interesting because this pet can also be obtained by "learning it" from various beginner pet trainers like a spell, and in that case it is actually possible to add another copy of it to the Journal, so the whole issue seems to be more likely related to the processing of the items that "teach" pets, rather than to concrete pets themselves

https://www.wowhead.com/pet-ability=538/devour

Battle pet ability Devour doesn't heal the pet that used it when the enemy gets killed as a result of that ability.

Battle pet ability Cocoon Strike has these issues:
- visually casts twice, although the damage effect is correctly applied only the first time
- doesn't apply the cocoon shell effect that should block 1 incoming attack and last 1 round, so either block the incoming attack in the round the ability was used if pet that used it went first, or block incoming attack in the next round if the pet that used it went last
- prevents player from swapping the pet in the next round after the ability was used

For more details on how this should work, check also comments here:
https://www.wowhead.com/pet-ability=506/cocoon-strike

When battle pet survives until the whole pet battle match is over and won by the player, it should recover part of the health it lost during that match (even if it was swapped for another pet at any point), but it doesn't.

I couldn't find any proper source describing how exactly this should work, so I've attached the AI response from Google Search because it seems to be correct based on my previous WoW experience.

I've only noticed this problem with Collection category achievements. So far, I've been awarded the following achievements without actually meeting the requirements:
- Ten Tabards (https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=1020/ten-tabards)
- Twenty-Five Tabards (https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=1021/twenty-five-tabards)
- Fashionista: Tabard (https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=10690/fashionista-tabard)
- Fashionista: Shirt (https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=10691/fashionista-shirt)
- Fashionista: Weapon & Off-Hand (https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=10689/fashionista-weapon-off-hand)

I suspect the issue is caused by something in the quest system because I'm almost 100% certain all of them popped when I handed in completed quests. Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting a bug like this to occur, so I wasn't paying enough attention to the quests I was handing in to remember what their names were. I think the Fashionista: Weapon & Off-Hand popped when handing in some quest in Un'Goro Crater, and Fashionista: Tabard and Fashionista: Shirt popped during questing in Teldrassil. For the other 2 achievements I unfortunately don't remember any additional details.

Exactly as title suggests - I set some mounts as favorite, but when I relog, the flag gets randomly reset for some of them and sometimes even all of them. I haven't noticed any pattern to it so far.

I've caught 2 wild battle pets, both of them Rabbits, but I don't think it matters for the issue at hand. I released them because they were of low quality (I only caught them to complete a quest, I never planned to keep them). It seemed to work, but after relog, they were back in my Pet Journal, so it looks like they've never been actually "released" on database side, just in the interface.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=24702/here-lies-dadanga https://www.wowhead.com/object=164958/bloodpetal-sprout

Quest can't be completed because Bloodpetal Sprout objects don't drop the quest items.
I've opened a lot of the Bloodpetal Sprout objects to make sure it's not just an RNG loot problem like what many other objects on this server seem to have, where object loot is sometimes empty (mining nodes, herbalism nodes, archeology, quest objects etc.), and I've also tried farming the Bloodpetal Sprouts from various mobs in the zone while questing to check for potential other sources (there shouldn't be any as far as I know).
