It was a quiet night last night for World of Warcraft datamining, but there was still some news to be had with the latest round of hotfixes. Players can access the mobile auction house API once again, which is good news for anyone attempting to maintain a merchant empire in the game. The hotfixes also patched up issues like achievements for certain Eastern Kingdoms Loremaster accomplishments not tracking across multiple characters and proper mount drops from Yogg-Saron.
Meanwhile, players have uncovered something interesting on the Broken Shore. If you head out to that region and look for the Xorothian Cultists without simply attacking them, you can see that they’re channeling a spell. A long spell; it’s a spell that should finish casting around March 7th. In the past, some of their long channeling spells have hinted at big events to come when the channeling finishes, with the last cast ending on the day of patch 7.3.5 releasing. So what happens around that day? We’ll have to find out, but it hints that it’ll be something interesting.
