Latest WoW hotfixes address Writhing Essence drops, Torch Tossing credit

By Anne Stickney

A short list of hotfixes for World of Warcraft have just been released, including a change to Writhing Essence drops. Players were understandably concerned with the fact that extra Writhing Essences over the 50 required for a legendary upgrade token were being wasted on turn in. Writhing Essences have now been changed to a new currency, which will alleviate the issue. Note that if you are playing at the time of the hotfix, you may need to log out and back in again for the change to take effect. In addition, a bug preventing players from getting credit for Torch Tossing in the Midsummer Fire Festival event has been fixed. Read on for the full list of hotfixes.
