Players' addons saw War Banners (quest 464) give a little more XP
· ForeverDB
Players' ForeverDB addons reported quest 464, War Banners in the Wetlands, now handing out 2369 experience on completion, up from the 2300 the addon had logged before. Blizzard hasn't posted about it, and the game files don't carry quest rewards.
Player reports, not confirmed by Blizzard. These values are what players' ForeverDB addons saw in the game, not datamined from the client and not from a Blizzard post.
Between 9 and 10 November, four players (one of them signed in) sent eight uploads showing quest 464, War Banners, giving 2369 experience on completion. The addon had earlier logged 2300 experience for the same quest (itself a change we accepted a little before this), so the reward has nudged up again, by 69. Our system logged it as a change seen in game and accepted it.
What's in the client
Quest 464 is War Banners, a level 28 quest in the Wetlands that you can pick up from level 23. Captain Stoutfist asks you to bring him 8 Dragonmaw War Banners. Its quest page has the details. The client files don't carry quest rewards (the server sends them), so the experience can only come from what players' addons saw.
What this might mean
Speculation. The jump from 2300 to 2369 experience looks like a small server-side tweak to the quest's reward, the sort of hotfix that doesn't show up in the game files. We can't tell from the files what prompted it, and Blizzard hasn't posted about it.
We'll update this if a new build or a Blizzard post confirms the change.
