World of Warcraft & WOW CLASSIC – May 2021 Patch Notes

Introduction

Burning Crusade Classic Patch Notes: Auction House, Quests, and User Interface Updates In the latest update for Burning Crusade Classic, the Auction House has undergone some changes to improve the user experience. Auctions are now sorted by buyout price by default, making it easier for players to find the items they're looking for. Additionally, the Gem and Quest categories, which were previously missing, have been restored. Players will also be pleased to know that the Consumable, Trade Goods, and Miscellaneous categories now expand, providing more options for browsing and purchasing items. And for those who missed it, the Reset Filter button has made a triumphant return.
