Some players have recently noticed that there are a few oddities around, and things aren’t quite adding up.

When it comes to secret hunting, we suggest you keep the following in mind:

  • There are no class or race restrictions – any character can solve secrets.
  • Addons are not required – all secrets are solvable without addons.
  • There are no time restrictions – once a secret has been released, it will be remain available to solve (with the exception of “Guest Relations” quests from Alyx – these are only available during WoW’s Anniversary).
  • Purchases are not required – these secrets don’t require shop items or services.
  • Bannable behavior is not required (or allowed!) – anything that could result in account suspension, such as hacks and exploiting glitches, are not required to solve secrets and appropriate action will be taken against cheaters.
  • Secrets are tough, but fair – everything you need to solve Azeroth’s mysteries is available to you.

Please solve mysteries at your own pace. Some secrets will be extremely challenging compared to other content. Please take your time and have fun with it!

Good luck secret hunters!

P.S. For the diligent explorers who have already found a key item, you may have missed the clue that would lead you there! It might be fun to find, if you were so inclined.

Great job so far, eager secret hunters! The next step (and the rest of this secret) will become available on November 19. In the meantime, Alyx still needs your help.

The following will appear in our next Hotfixes Update, and we believe some players might appreciate a heads up here and now.

With hotfixes that are now live:

Ratts’ Revenge

  • Fixed an issue where statues would follow you without a rope.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Hear” puzzle could be solved by an unintended bug. Characters who already received the reward for this puzzle will keep their progress, but other characters will need to figure out the intended solution.
  • Ratts’ password is now present.
  • The “Light of Love” is now more accepting.

An additional thought–
Along with “Hear”, the “No Violence” puzzle has been solved in an unintended way. It may be fun to figure out what really solves these steps.
