Player versus Player
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up.

Plunderstorm
  • The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before.
  • There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder.
  • Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall.
  • Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly.
  • Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell.
  • The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

Dragonflight Season 4 - Complete Weekly Awakened Activities for Sparks of Awakening
With 10.2.6 PTR now available for testing, we can have a look at how to obtain Sparks of Awakening in Dragonflight Season 4.

Every week, players will have to complete one of three open world quests from different Dragon Isles zones:
  • Dragon Isles - Last Hurrah: Dragon Isles
    • Complete the Community Feast event
    • Complete a Grand Hunt
    • Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep
  • Zaralek Caverns - Last Hurrah: Zaralek Caverns and Time Rifts
    • Complete the Researchers under Fire event
    • Loot a Secured Shipment from a Suffusion Camp
    • Help Soridormi dispel a Time Rift
  • Amirdrassil - Last Hurrah: Emerald Dream
    • Gather 100 Dreamsurge Coalescence
    • Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom event
    • Complete 1 Superbloom event
    • Plant 3 Dreamseeds in the Emerald Dream



This week on the Public Test Realms, only the quest related to the Emerald Dream zone was available, while those for the Dragon Isles and Zaralek Caverns zones were unavailable. Completing Last Hurrah: Emerald Dream rewarded us with:

Although the Weekly Awakened Activity spell description indicates that the quest "can reward you with a weekly spark for crafting", only one half of the spark was rewarded. Please note that this is a preview for PTR content, which is subject to change.

World

  • Forbidden Reach
    • A Forbidden Hoard that was inadvertently inaccessible due to having fallen through the floor has been moved to an accessible spot.

Plunderstorm

  • Plunder contained in dropped piles of Plunder increased by 50% in Solos matches.
  • Reviving a teammate now takes 10 seconds (was 15 seconds).
  • Health Brew cooldown for a revived player reduced to 10 seconds (was 15 seconds).
  • Adjusted the in-match leveling curve to increase the rate at which you level up to 7. Decreased the rate at which you level to 8, 9, and 10.
    • Developers’ notes: Many games have ended with larger player-level differences than we’d prefer. Considering the many playstyles we’ve seen in Plunderstorm, we want to help narrow the gap later in the game.
  • Earthbreaker now grants the caster immunity to crowd control spells while casting.
  • Faeform no longer provides any damage reduction.
  • Hunter’s Chains’ missile now moves significantly faster.
  • Fire Whirl damage reduced by 20%.
    • Developers’ notes: we want to reign in Fire Whirl’s damage a bit more, so that it’s close to the performance of other offensive spells.
  • Rime Arrow cooldown increased at higher ranks, and now has a cooldown of 10/8.5/7/5.5 seconds (was 10/8/6/4 seconds).
    • Developers’ notes: Rime Arrow’s short cooldown made it a too-low-risk poke, often used to deny healing and chase fleeing targets. Increasing the cooldown at higher ranks will give targets more chances to act against Rime Arrow.
