Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Legion. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.
Additional information about the expansion can be found below.
September 30

Fixed a bug that sometimes made it appear that a 100%+ mission failed.
Classes
Warlock
Unstable Affliction's dispel kickback damage is now capped at 50% of the Warlock's maximum health, but can still critically strike.
Destruction Warlocks that are stuck on the final Artifact acquisition quest "Ritual Ruination" should now find it easier to get through all obstacles. Any Warlock that has the Artifact, but is stuck on a quest objective, can return to Dalaran to get full credit for the quest.
Class Halls
New work orders for Seals of Broken Fate will now have a shipment duration of 5 seconds.
Dungeons and Raids

All methods of turning in Artifact Fragments should now correctly reward honor at a rate of 1 honor for every 2 Artifact Fragments.
The Rated PvP gear weekly bonus rewards are now based on the player's PvP Rating for 2v2, 3v3, and Rated Battlegrounds.
Developers’ Notes: Currently, rated PvP is always rewarding item level 840 gear, regardless of rating. That is not our intent. We want to correct this as quickly as possible, but don’t want to inadvertently punish players who have already collected their weekly bonus chests. This fix will be implemented with the next weekly realm maintenance (A.M. PDT on Tuesday, October 4 for North American realms).
Quests
These Suramar World Quests now correctly award Nightfallen reputation beyond Honored: “Studying the Reaction”, “Clear the Skies”, “Left for Dead”, and “Fiends of Tel'anor”.

4-pieces: Every time you gather a Healing Sphere, the remaining cooldowns of your Ironskin Brew and Purifying Brew are reduced by 1 second (was 5 seconds).

Hotfixes
Classes
Developer’s Notes: After carefully considering the constructive feedback we’ve received over the weekend, we’ve made some revisions to this week’s tuning. The class changes listed in this hotfix update, as well as those from the previous update will be applied during weekly maintenance in each region. Note that several changes from the previous update have been altered or removed, which is indicated by a strikethrough in the notes below.
Demon Hunter
Havoc
Bloodlet (Talent) now deals 150% of initial Throw Glaive damage.
Mage
Arcane
Quickening (Talent)’s maximum stacks are now 50, and it will not refresh its duration once at 50 stacks.
Priest
Shadow
Mind Sear damage increased by 80% and Insanity generation increased by 50%.
Mind Flay damage increased by 20%.
Mind Spike damage increased by 28%.
Void Ray maximum stacks reduced to 4.
Developers’ Notes: Given the damage increase to Mind Sear, Mind Flay, and Mind Spike, this still results in an overall increase to the value of the talent.
Voidform stacks no longer increase while Dispersion is active.
Developers’ Notes: We would prefer that Surrender to Madness not be as dominant as it is, and that it can’t be extended for quite so long. However, addressing this further would require significant changes to the spec beyond what we want to do in a tuning pass at this time. We will look for an opportunity to take a more comprehensive look at this issue in a future patch.
Shaman
Queen Ascendant (Artifact trait) is no longer consumed when a queued healing spell is immediately triggered.
Warlock
Fixed a bug that prevented Rain of Fire from always doing all 8 ticks of damage on PvE and PvP targets.
Warrior
Arms
Tactician proc rate increased by 15%.
Hamstring no longer procs Tactician.
Exploit the Weakness (Artifact Trait) bonus reduced to 4% per point.
NPCs
Suramar NPCs should no longer remove a player’s stealth at the start of their Arcane Investigation casting.
Interacting with Nomi should now take priority when his area is crowded.
Professions
Engineering: The Reaves version of the Failure Detection Pylon should now work properly.
PvP
Rogue
Strike from the Shadows is now a snare, instead of a daze.
September 23
Hotfixes
Achievements
Broken Isles Pathfinder Rank 1 now properly displays the amount of the mounted speed increase.
Classes
Developers’ Notes: As we discussed last week, we’ve been gathering a massive amount of data based on how each spec has been performing in this first week of raids and Mythic Keystone dungeons, so that we can make a number of tuning changes with next week’s realm maintenance. The overall goal of these changes is to buff up some underperforming specs while also reining in a couple of over-performers, without dramatically changing anyone’s playstyle or causing them to feel as though the spec they chose to focus on became the “wrong choice.”
All of these class changes will be applied during the next scheduled weekly maintenance period in each region. Note that there are also a number of PvP-specific changes, which are noted separately below.
Death Knight
Frost
Remorseless Winter damage increased by 50%.
Obliterate damage increased by 19%.
Frost Strike damage increased by 12%.
Howling Blast damage increased by 10%.
Frostscythe (Talent) damage increased by 13%.
Frozen Pulse (Talent) damage increased by 11%.
Breath of Sindragosa (Talent) damage increased by 17%.
Demon Hunter
Havoc
Throw Glaive damage reduced by 30%.
Fel Mastery (Talent) damage bonus to Fel Rush reduced to 30%.
Bloodlet (Talent) now deals 100% of initial Throw Glaive damage.
Fury of the Illidari (Artifact Ability) damage reduced by 20%.
Note: See below for for additional PvP tuning adjustments to Fury of the Illidari.
Balanced Blades (Artifact Trait) damage bonus to Blade Dance reduced to 3% per target.
Vengeance
Mastery now provides 50% less damage reduction per point.
Demon Spikes damage reduction increased to 20%.
Note: Gearing heavily for Mastery was allowing Vengeance Demon Hunters to reach excessively high levels of Physical damage reduction. We’re reducing the top-end potential of this effect somewhat, and bringing up the baseline. This should also cause the value of Mastery to be more in line with other stats.
Druid
Moonfire (non-Feral) damage increased by 10%.
Balance
Sunfire damage increased by 10%.
Starfall damage increased by 10%.
Lunar Strike damage increased by 5%.
Solar Wrath damage increased by 5%.
Mage
Arcane
Mastery effects increased by 20%.
Arcane Missiles damage increased by 9%.
Arcane Blast damage increased by 10%.
Frost
Frostbolt damage increased by 8%.
Ice Lance damage increased by 13%.
Flurry damage increased by 38%.

Divine Storm damage increased by 20%.
Crusader Strike (Retribution) damage increased by 13%.
Blade of Justice damage increased by 13%.
Judgment (Retribution) damage increased by 13%.
Zeal (Talent) damage increased by 13%.
Blade of Wrath (Talent) damage increased by 13%.
Priest
Holy
Holy Nova damage reduced by 16%.
Shadow
Mind Sear damage and Insanity generation increased by 50%.
Voidform stacks no longer increase while Dispersion and Void Torrent are active.
Note: These abilities prevent Insanity drain from increasing while active, which effectively reduces the Insanity drain for the entire remainder the current Voidform. This was proving to be too powerful, so we’re now making sure that the damage bonus and Insanity drain from Voidform remain in sync.
The benefit of Mass Hysteria (Artifact Trait) is now capped at 100%.
Note: We want it to be rewarding when you’re able to maintain Surrender to Madness for an extremely long time, but the amount of damage this trait was contributing in those circumstances was excessive.
Rogue
Death From Above (Talent) area damage increased by 100%.
Assassination
Deadly Poison damage increased by 30%.
Fan of Knives damage increased by 30%.
Bag of Tricks (Artifact Trait) duration reduced to 3 seconds (overall damage unchanged), radius increased to 6 yards (from 3), and now benefits from Mastery.
Poison Knives (Artifact Trait) no longer benefits twitch from Mastery. Damage per point increased to 4%.
Outlaw
Fatebringer (Artifact Trait) Energy cost reduction reduced to 3 per rank.
Fate’s Thirst (Artifact Trait) damage bonus to Run Through reduced to 6% per rank.
Black Powder (Artifact Trait) damage bonus to Between the Eyes reduced to 6% per rank.
Subtlety

Note: See below for additional PvP tuning adjustments to Eviscerate and Nightblade.
Shuriken Storm damage increased by 30%.
Second Shuriken (Artifact Trait) chance to activate increased to 30% (was 10%), damage increased by 30%, and now deals 200% additional damage while Stealth or Shadow Dance is active.
Shaman
Elemental
Mastery effects increased by 12.5%.
Chain Lightning Maelstrom generation increased to 6.
Lightning Bolt (Elemental) damage increased by 23%.
Chain Lightning (Elemental) damage increased by 23%.
Lava Burst damage increased by 5%.
Storm Elemental (Talent)’s Call Lightning and Wind Gust damage increased by 20%.
Enhancement
Fixed a bug that gave offhand special attacks a 100% chance to activate Windfury while Doom Winds was active.
Windfury activation chance increased to 20%.
Note: We’re fixing a bug that added multiple extra Windfury procs to each activation of Doom Winds, but adding some Windfury procs back by increasing the baseline activation chance. This should also improve Maelstrom generation outside of Doom Winds.
Restoration
Chain Lightning (Restoration) damage increased by 23%.
Warlock
Affliction
Drain Life damage increased by 10%
Drain Soul damage increased by 10%
Corruption damage increased by 10%

Protection
Vengeance (Talent) Rage cost reduction reduced to 35%.
Intercept Rage generation reduced to 10.
Shield Slam Rage generation reduced to 10.
PvP
Developers’ Notes: While many of the above changes are beneficial for PvP, some specs need additional tuning for PvP situations. Some of the PvP- specific changes we’re making are intended to counteract the above, while others are simply intended to help overall PvP balance.
Battlegrounds
Tank-specialized characters no longer take additional damage while carrying a flag.
Death Knight
Blood
Consumption (Artifact Ability)’s healing is no longer reduced in PvP.

Players should no longer become stuck inside the cages they’re placed in after defeating Ymiron.
Items
Damage from Potion of the Old War and Potion of Deadly Grace reduced by 33%.
Developers’ Notes: Previously, we significantly buffed the damage of these potions, but then discovered some bugs that were significantly reducing their effective damage. Now that those bugs have been fixed, their damage contribution is much too high. They should still feel very rewarding to use, but we’re bringing them back down to Earth a little.
Fixed a bug that was causing Balance Druids to sometimes engage enemies from unintended great distances with damaging trinket procs.
The Grove Darkener's Treads should now switch from Intellect to Agility based on your spec.
Professions
It should now be possible to reach skill 800 in Blacksmithing.

In the Withered Army Training scenario, it should be less likely for Leystalker Dro to be hiding somewhere that he wouldn't normally be encountered by clearing the room.
A new Archaeology Quests aura is now displayed while you’re on an Archaeology quest in your current zone.
Developers’ Notes: This is to make sure you’re aware of how many days you have left to complete a large Archaeology project before it expires. We’re investigating ways to provide this in the quest tracker and quest log.
Aodh Witherpetal will no longer become stuck during “DANGER: Aodh Witherpetal”.
September 21

Classes
Druid
(Guardian) The Embrace the Nightmare artifact trait now properly grants crowd control immunity while Rage of the Sleeper is active.
Ironfur can no longer be dispelled.
Mage
Flurry no longer causes enemies to attack you until the missile lands and deals damage.
Monk
(Windwalker) The artifact trait Tornado Kicks should now benefit from Mastery: Combo Strikes.
Paladin

The primary stat on all templates has been decreased by about 10%.
Discipline Priests now deal 15% less damage in PvP, and all other healing specs now deal 25% less damage in PvP
Developers’ Notes: Since all healing specs have had their Intellect increased (detailed below) to increase their healing, we’ve lowered the amount of damage they do against players to 25% (from 15%). Discipline priests are intended to do more damage than other healers and so their damage done is only decreased by 15%.

September 16
Hotfixes
Classes
(Hotfix in testing; to be applied with next weekly maintenance) Most abilities used by Tank specializations have had their damage reduced by 10%. Abilities which are shared with other specializations remain unchanged for those other specializations.
Demon Hunter
Fury of the Illidari will now correctly continue to do damage if your character is crowd controlled.
(Hotfix in testing; to be applied with next weekly maintenance) Fel Barrage proc rate changed to be consistent, regardless of target count.
Developers’ Notes: Havoc burst AoE damage has proved to be too strong, and Fel Barrage was the most prominent source of that. It should shine in multi-target situations because it does AoE damage; it doesn't need to also proc more often in those situations.
Druid
(Guardian) Ursoc’s Endurance will correctly allow Ironfur to persist for its extended duration.
Monk
(Hotfix in testing; to be applied with next weekly maintenance) Strike of the Wind Lord now deals reduced damage to secondary targets.
Developers’ Notes:Windwalker burst AoE damage was a bit too strong, and Strike of the Wind Lord is the biggest source of that. We want it to remain strong for single target, but not as strong with its secondary damage.
Paladin
Devotion Aura should no longer drop off of the Paladin using it if the Paladin moves too quickly.
(Hotfix in testing; to be applied with next weekly maintenance) Light of the Protector and Hand of the Protector now heals for 30% of missing health (down from 35%).
(Hotfix in testing; to be applied with next weekly maintenance) Scatter the Shadows (Protection Paladin artifact trait) now increases the healing of Light of the Protector by 6/12/18% (down from 10/20/30%).
Developers’ Notes: Protection Paladin self-healing was buffed substantially near the end of beta, based on concerns that it was too weak, but those concerns have proved unfounded. We're bringing it back down to its intended level.
Priest
Shadow Mania will no longer continue to generate insanity after you unlearn the talent.
Shaman
The bonus Ghost Wolf speed from Rehgar’s Bodyguard ability should persist through entering combat, though it will not apply when entering Ghost Wolf while in combat.
Warlock
Destruction Warlocks that are stuck on the final Artifact acquisition quest "Ritual Ruination" should now find it easier to get through all obstacles. Any warlocks that already have the Artifact, but are stuck on a quest objective, should return to Dalaran to get full credit for the quest.
Pleasure through Pain will now properly reduce the cooldown of Shadow Bolt while the Succubus is affected by Glyph of Shivarra.
Class Halls
Fixed a bug that was preventing some players from being granted all of the follower missions that were intended for their followers’ ilevels.
Fixed an issue where very rarely, players would not be able to acquire Champions on certain characters.
Hunters who have researched the Eagle Ally perk and have since changed to no longer have that perk will no longer be teleported to unusable flight points when using the Flight Master's Whistle.
The rewards from Twisting Nether Demon Hunter Class hall trait have been improved.

The damage output of Potion of Deadly Grace and Potion of the Old War has been increased by 100%.

Fury of the Illidari now deals 30% less damage to players
Quests
You can now summon Dread Captain Thedon for the World Quest “Dread End” if you kill Serpentrix before interacting with the Ghostly Brazier.

(Windwalker) The Tornado Kicks Artifact trait will no longer sometimes reduce your first Rising Sun Kick damage.
Shaman
Players who use the Portal to the Maelstrom instead of the Astral Gate to the Maelstrom will now be granted credit for "The Voice of Thunder" quest.
Bodyguard: Rehgar Earthfury now correctly makes Ghost Wolf move at 100% extra speed (was 130%).
Warrior
Rampage weapon trails now show for every swing of rampage regardless of whether the weapon was sheathed.
Class Halls
Druids who abandoned either "Essence of Balance" or "Essence of Regrowth" should now be able to reaccept the quests by returning to the Emerald Dreamway.
Druids should now receive Naralex or Zen'tabra after entering their order halls.
Dungeons
Players are now able to summon other players into Mythic dungeons as long as the player being summoned meets the requirements of the dungeon.
Eye of Azshara
Restless Tides now cast Imprisoning Bubble and Undertow correctly when more than one player is in melee with them.
Items
Identified and fixed an issue that could cause Legion legendary items to drop more frequently than intended if a player had already received their first legendary.
Coins caught in the Dalaran Fountain are now Bind on Pickup.
Jeweled Signet of Melandrus now correctly increases the damage of Auto Shot for Hunters.
Stabilized Energy Pendant no longer causes resources to drain when the player changes zones.
NPCs
Players are no longer able to use the Bribe and Mind Control abilities on Ysera.
Professions
Cooking
Players who have previously killed Myonix should be able to acquire the Leybarbeque Ribs recipe on subsequent kills.
Enchanting
Fixed an issue where some epic quality items awarded from world quests provided incorrect disenchant materials.
Enchant Cloak – Gift of Critical Strike, Enchant Cloak – Gift of Haste, Enchant Cloak – Gift of Mastery, and Enchant Cloak – Gift of Versatility now increase the player’s movement speed by 2% (was 10%).
Developers’ Notes: In fights where movement speed is important, Draenor cloak enchants (which reward run speed) were outperforming the best Legion cloak enchants (which do not). To protect enchanters from having to farm Draenor materials, we've reduced the run speed bonus on Draenor cloak enchants to 2%. We feel that cloak enchants aren’t the ideal place for run speed enhancements, and we will continue to look at interesting run speed options as the expansion continues.
PvP
PvP World Quests should have rewards restored for Prestiged players.
Hired Underbelly Guards should be much less likely to leave you.
Warrior
Pain Train now provides a Battle Cry to all nearby allies that increases critical strike by 30%.
Quests
The Lightning Rod cannot be used on the same mob multiple times during the World Quest “Electrosnack”.
"Shallow Graves" should now appear at all times for players on the quest "A Grisly Task".
Guardian Druids should no longer be prevented from completing "When Dreams Become Nightmares" when looting the Claws of Ursoc.
Fixed a bug that caused some players on "Cry Thunder!" to be forced to get their dragon killed to be able to dismount.
On “Shrine of the Truthguard”, players who navigate to Dalaran by using their Dalaran Hearthstone, regular Hearthstone, or by getting ported, will receive the “Return to Dalaran” objective and become able to turn in the quest to Lord Maxwell Tyrosus.
The Mining World Quest “Leyworms” now requires 10 Leystone-Encrusted Spikes (was 40).
Valewalker Farodin should now properly tell his story during the quest "Fragments of Disaster."
In Maw of Souls, Ymiron’s Broken Blade now drops on Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties for Warriors who have completed "Champions of Skyhold".
Hunters are now able to complete "Delicate Enchantments" by using the "I'm ready" chat option after leaving the quest objective area.
On-death effects should no longer behave unusually when the player reaches 1 HP during “Withered Army Training”.
Services
Performing a faction transfer on a character who has completed an Artifact Acquisition quest, but not yet turned it in, will no longer destroy the artifact when the quest is removed from players' logs. Players may then re-accept the Artifact quest after the transfer has completed and will receive full credit for the quest.

Hotfixes
Classes
Hunter
Hati will now reset appearance to the default blue wolf form the first time summoned.
Developers’ Notes: Due to a bug, some hunters had Hati transform with the Essence Swapper into appearances that are unintended. A fix has been made for this to prevent future issues, but to get rid of any unintended appearances that players may already have, Hati’s appearance will be reverted to the default blue wolf when first summoned, and should retain any appearance changes thereafter. The Essence Swapper will continue to allow you to change Hati’s appearance to match that of your currently active hunter pet.
Paladin
Judgment's damage on secondary targets should correctly match its damage on the primary target.
Priest
Clarity of Will's maximum shield size will be correctly increased by Versatility.
Shaman
(Enhancement) Feral Lunge will no longer threaten enemies when cast. Feral Lunge now only causes threat when it lands and deals damage.
Class Halls
The amount of follower experience granted by missions has been increased.
Lower-level followers should have access to more missions, even when the player has very high level followers active.
Players who failed to be rewarded Hymdall during the resolution of the quest "Jorhuttam" are properly granted him as a follower after entering their class hall.
Dungeons
Players should no longer be able to apply for Premade Group Finder parties for Arcway or Court of Stars if they have not gained access to those dungeons.
Eye of Azsharah
For the quest “Cleansing the Dreamway”, Rarefied Water should now drop from every boss. Other enemies no longer drop the item for the quest.
Items
Level 110 legendary rings and amulets, which all previously had no sockets, should now have 1 Prismatic socket per item.
NPCs
Blingtron 6000 should no longer transport some players underneath the world.
Professions
The alchemy spell Transmute: Fish to Gems should now take Cursed Queenfish, not Ghostly Queenfish.
Quests
Operation Murloc Freedom now only rewards Timeworn Artifacts while the World Quest is active.
The Nightbourne Loupe for the quest "A Personal Touch" is now carried by both male and female nightborne.
The quest object "The Black Tome" for the quest "The Black Tome" now spawns in a location that is accessible without having to jump onto the altar.
On “Cry Thunder!”, players can no longer interact with Vethir to start the bombing run if they’re in a raid group.

Hotfixes
Classes
Druid
Shifting into Bear Form will no longer freeze resource decay for non-Guardian druids.
Hunter
Barrage range will now correctly match the range of the Hunter’s other abilities.
Developers’ Notes: During the recent updates to Barrage, we discovered it extended approximately 2 yards beyond the range of autoshot and other abilities. We’re changing it to more closely match.
Paladin
Hammer of the Righteous will no longer show its impact visual on dead targets.
Rogue
Ghostly Strike debuff application and removal are now correctly posted to the combat log.
Warlock
Soul Shards now regenerate to 3, while out of combat (up from 1).
Developers' Notes: As discussed in last week’s Developer Q&A, warlocks (and Demonology especially) needed to go through several spellcasts in order to generate the Soul Shards required to cast the spells needed for them to operate at peak efficiency. In outdoor gameplay and against packs of enemies in dungeons, this often meant that combat was ending just as the warlock was getting warmed up. Allowing warlocks to begin combat with 3 Soul Shards instead of 1 should let them bring more of their arsenal to bear in shorter encounters.
Warrior
Mannoroth's Bloodletting Manacles now heals the warrior based on base Rage spent, rather than actual rage spent, to account for Rage cost reduction effects.
(Arms) Colossus Smash's cooldown reduced to 30s.
Developers' Notes: The cooldown on Colossus Smash serves as bad luck protection against long streaks of Tactician not activating. At 45 seconds, the worst case scenario of actually waiting for the full cooldown to elapse was a rare occurrence that was particularly noticeable (and frustrating) when it happened. At 30 seconds, the majority of the time Colossus Smash will still reset before its cooldown elapses, but those unlucky streaks should feel a little better.
(Arms) Focused Rage's damage bonus reduced to 40% per stack.
Dungeons
Luck of the Draw now properly increases pet and guardian damage.
Assault on Violet Hold
Sael'orn will no long aggro players immediately when she spawns.
Fel Prison will no longer target healers in Heroic and Mythic difficulty.
Maw of Souls
Resolved an issue where Nether Rip didn’t appear on lower graphics settings.
Items
(Hotfix work in progress) Emissary bags from completing World Quests now contain equippable items for your class.
The Derelict Skyhorn Kite now has a 15 minute cooldown.
NPCs
The Imperial Arcanist and the Imperial Spellbreaker that spawn in front of Lothrius Mooncaller’s room in Suramar – The Athenaeum no longer drop loot or grant experience when killed by the Moonfall Manafiend summoned by a player or by Lothrius Mooncaller.
Regular creatures at Warden Towers should spawn more rapidly when attacked by many players.
Brimstone Destroyers in Azsuna can no longer be enslaved.
Professions
Mother's Skinning Knife is now only usable by players who know Skinning.
Several Alchemy quests which required Heroic Dungeon kills can now be completed in Mythic.
Engineering
Players should no longer be able to skill up Engineering in Legion by making Gearspring Parts. It should now be slightly easier to skill up to 800 by making goggles or Trigger.
The Arcanic Compressor is now multi-drop and can be looted several engineers in a group for completion of “Revamping the Recoil”.
PvP
Several followers have had the effectiveness of their abilities reduced against players.
Fixed an issue causing some PvP World Quests to have invalid rewards for Honor level 50 players.
Flickering Shadows will no longer activate if the Rogue is capturing a point in Domination maps such as Arathi Basin.
The time between Wintergrasp and Tol Barad battles has been increased to 1 hour.
Skirmish victories now award 100 honor (was 50).
The first random battleground win of the day now rewards a Soldier's Splendor (250 Artifact Power).
Quests
In the Warrior Class Campaign Ulduar Scenario, the door after Brood Queen Morvaniss should now always open when you kill her.
On the World Quest “Ley Race”, ley line nodes should now spawn more quickly as you go.
Death Knights should no longer become stuck on “Steeds of the Damned”.
Druids should no longer be stuck on “Gathering the Dreamweavers”.
Players that manage to find themselves in the "Champions of Elune" scenario without a vehicle will now be teleported out after 30 seconds.
Bind on Equip items have been removed as possible rewards from World Quests.
Developers’ Notes: As a player’s own item level increases, the quality of many World Quest item rewards rises as well. However, when these items can circulate throughout the economy, they can overshadow other sources of loot, and crafted items especially. World Quests should feel rewarding, but we want that to be because of a direct value to your character.
The Warden Tower World Quests are now on 6 hour rotations (was 3 hours).
Withered in the Withered Army Training scenario should now be able to throw rocks from point blank range. Ow!
