Players' addons caught the Warlock Voidwalker's level changing on the beta

2026-11-08 · ForeverDB

Over 6 and 7 November, players' ForeverDB addons saw the level on the Voidwalker Minion creature (npc 8996) move between 10-14 and 18-19. It reads as a server hotfix, and Blizzard hasn't announced it.

Player reports, not confirmed by Blizzard. These values come from players' ForeverDB addons seeing the creature in the game, not from the client files or a Blizzard post.

Warlocks get the Voidwalker as their second pet, summoned with Summon Voidwalker from level 10. Over 6 and 7 November, players' ForeverDB addons recorded the level on the Voidwalker Minion creature (npc 8996) moving. That points to a server-side hotfix rather than a change in the client files.

What players' addons saw

The addon reads a creature's level when you see it in the game and sends it to us. For the Voidwalker Minion, two different readings came in over the same two days:

• Level 10-14 changed to 18-19: 25 uploads from 3 players, 6-7 November.
• Level 18-19 changed back to 10-14: 7 uploads from 2 players, 6-7 November.

So the creature's level range was pushed up and then appears to have gone back down inside the same window. We can't tell from here which value it finally settled on, only that it moved. The Voidwalker's level doesn't change how it fights for you: a summoned Warlock pet rises to its owner's level, so this is the base level on the creature record more than something you'll feel in play.

Speculation. Why it changed isn't clear. It fits ordinary pet and creature tuning on the beta, but Blizzard hasn't posted anything about it, so the reason is a guess.

If you want to follow the Warlock pets, the summon is on our Summon Voidwalker page, with more on the class on the Warlock page. We'll update this if a new build or a Blizzard post says more.
