    Hotfix: Riding Skill Fixed for Boosted TBC Characters

    Blizzard has deployed a hotfix today to address an issue affecting Level 58 boosted characters in TBC Classic Anniversary who did not properly receive their Riding skill.

    According to Community Manager Kaivax, the problem has now been corrected:

    With a hotfix earlier today, we corrected the level of Riding skill for boosted characters who did not receive Riding correctly. Upon completing the first boost quest “A New Beginning”, boosted characters should now automatically receive Apprentice Riding.

    What you need to do if you were affected

    If you boosted a character and already completed “A New Beginning” but did not receive Apprentice Riding:

    👉 Simply log out and log back in — your Riding skill should then be granted automatically.

    Blizzard indicated that they are confident in the fix, but they will continue monitoring reports in case any characters are still affected.

    Why this matters

    This fix is important because:

    • Apprentice Riding is required to use most ground mounts
    • Many boosted players were unable to ride properly after using their Level 58 boost
    • This issue could have delayed players preparing for Outland

    With this resolved, boosted characters should now be fully ready to step through the Dark Portal when TBC Classic Anniversary launches on February 5, 2026.

    WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic Hotfixes – December 16, 2025

    A new round of hotfixes has been deployed for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic on December 16, 2025.
    This update focuses on raid accessibility and tuning, introduces a scalable, optional raid debuff for early MoP tiers, and delivers several class and item fixes, with notable improvements for Priests, plus targeted adjustments for Warlocks and Warriors.

    Below, you’ll find the official hotfix notes, reproduced as-is.

    Hotfix Notes (December 16, 2025)

    December 16, 2025

Mists of Pandaria Classic

- Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, and Terrace of Endless Spring now have
  zone wide debuffs applied to all enemy creatures that players can toggle
  off if they wish to increase the difficulty to its original level.
  This debuff starts at 5% and will increase every 2 weeks up to a total of 30%.

- Flurky can now be upgraded to rare quality with a Flawless Battle-Stone.

- Theldurin’s Fist is now correctly mirrored when equipped or transmogrified
  in the off-hand slot.

- Fixed an issue that was causing the Abominable Greench’s Stolen Treats
  to not grant quest credit.

Priest
- Glyph of Focused Mending for Priests should now work correctly and is improved.
  If it can’t find one of the original targets to bounce to, it will no longer
  fade like it did previously, but instead find a new target.

- While in an Arena or Battleground, Prayer of Mending no longer incorrectly
  refreshes Renew while in Chakra: Serenity.

- Renews refreshed while Chakra: Serenity is active now correctly refresh
  to the maximum Duration + 1 tick (was refreshing to the maximum Duration).

- Renews refreshed while Chakra: Serenity is active and Glyph of Renew is active,
  now correctly do not count the -3 seconds from the Glyph when refreshing
  the duration of the Renew.

Developers’ notes:
- This is 15 seconds in Arenas and Battlegrounds, and 18 seconds outside of
  arenas and battlegrounds. This is how the Glyph functioned in patch 5.4.8,
  so we’re restoring that behavior.

Warlock
- Warlocks will no longer automatically revive their pets at the start of a
  Challenge Mode Dungeon, if they have an active Grimoire of Sacrifice.

Warrior
- Warriors will now correctly get Rage when struck by Rampage on the Megaera encounter.

    What This Means for Players

    • Raid progression gets smoother with a progressive, opt-out debuff—great for guilds catching up while preserving original difficulty for those who want it.
    • Priest gameplay consistency is restored, especially in PvP, aligning behavior with patch 5.4.8.
    • Edge-case fixes for pets, rage generation, transmogs, and quests clean up long-standing annoyances.

    Stay tuned on WCUI for more MoP Classic updates, raid tuning changes, and class hotfix coverage.
