• Celebratory Pack of Runed Ethereal Crests, Glorious Cluster of Gilded Ethereal Crests, and Triumphant Satchel of Carved Ethereal Crests can no longer be used if doing so would exceed the associated crest cap.

K’aresh

• Ethereal Strands should now drop after any character in the account has completed “The Tabiqa”.

Player versus Player

• Resolved an issue where the Severed Threads Commendation from PvP weekly quests did not give reputation with the selected faction.
• 
  Monk
  • Resolved an issue that could cause Song of Chi-Ji’s effect to be incorrectly removed by friendly player crowd-control effects such as Cheap Shot.

Quests

  • Arms Warriors’ Sweeping Strikes no longer deal 100% increased damage to Garalon’s body when striking a Leg.
    • Developers’ notes: In Original Mists of Pandaria, during the first week of Heart of Fear Heroic difficulty, a Garalon hotfix addressed Sweeping Strikes, Blade Flurry, and similar effects. This was later superseded by changes made to Sweeping Strikes in patch 5.4, when Garalon was no longer the most relevant content. This fix returns Sweeping Strikes to its original behavior for Garalon’s body.
• 
  Rogue
  • Subtlety
    • Sanguinary Veins bonus damage reduced to 40% (was 50%).
      • Developers’ notes: A bug fix made right before the release of Heart of Fear addressed a situation where multiple rogues in a group were constantly removing this damage increase from each other and not benefitting from it. The bug was pulling down average Subtlety performance, and since the correction, things got a little out of hand. This may display an incorrect value between 40/45/50%, so to be clear, 40% is the intended value.
