Players Can Now Disable & Re-Enable Experience Gains – Season of Discovery Hotfix

As many players make their return to Season of Discovery, Blizzard has implemented a new feature that will allow them to emulate the level brackets of the server's original release! Players can now speak with either Grendag Brightbeard in Ironforge or Orgrimmar to turn off or re-enable experience gains.

Season of Discovery

Players may now disable or re-enable XP gains by speaking with Grendag Brightbeard in Ironforge in the Forlorn Cavern or the Valley of Strength in Orgrimmar.

Developers’ notes: There is a known issue where if you disable XP gains, this change does not persist after logging out and back in. We are temporarily removing the 1g cost for disabling and re-enabling XP gains while we investigate a fix for this issue.
