World of Warcraft Leveling Buff Bug Makes Players Immortal

Key Takeaways

  • The Prismatic Blessing leveling buff in WoW Dragonflight areas is bugged, causing characters to be immortal.
  • The buff, inspired by the five Dragonflights, is meant to help new players but has caused gameplay issues.
  • Blizzard is working on a fix for the glitch.

As a seasoned World of Warcraft player with over a decade under my belt, I must say that the current Prismatic Blessing leveling buff in Dragonflight has certainly added a unique twist to the game. The fact that characters can’t die due to an immortal glitch is definitely something I never expected! It’s like being a player character in a video game within World of Warcraft.

The Prismatic Blessing level-up advantage in the World of Warcraft expansion, Dragonflight, is presently experiencing a bug that prevents player characters from dying. Although this issue will likely be fixed soon, at the moment, any character with this boost cannot die within the game.

Newcomers to World of Warcraft now begin their journey in the game with the introduction of “World of Warcraft: The War Within”. Instead of starting from scratch, these fresh players are transported directly into the Dragonflight content, progressing up to level 70. Upon reaching this milestone, they embark on “The War Within” storyline. To assist new players in their adventure on the Dragon Isles, characters receive Prismatic Blessing – a potent zone buff, which is reminiscent of the five Dragonflights within World of Warcraft, providing support during the completion of content initially intended for high-level veterans.

It seems there’s an issue with the Prismatic Blessing, specifically one part that’s causing characters to become invincible. Normally, when a player dies, the Ruby Blessing should revive them at full health with a one-hour wait before it can be used again. The problem is, this cooldown isn’t working correctly. This means that if a character has this buff, they’ll keep coming back to full health indefinitely, essentially making them invulnerable. Video evidence from Wowhead shows this buff being active, with powerful Elite enemies unable to harm the character despite their best efforts.

Prismatic Blessing Buff in WoW: Dragonflight Areas

  • Emerald Blessing – Increases out-of-combat regeneration.
  • Obsidian Blessing – Prevents durability loss and decreases damage from environmental hazards.
  • Blessing of the Bronze Dragonflight – Occasionally increases attack, casting, and movement speeds by 40%.
  • Azure Blessing – Gain a shield equal to 10% max health outside of combat.
  • Ruby Blessing – Heal back to full when reaching 0 HP once per hour (currently bugged to have no cooldown).

The creators of World of Warcraft have identified an issue with the Ruby Blessing cooldown and are working to resolve it soon. Meanwhile, a different blessing (Prismatic Blessing) is being applied to all characters in World of Warcraft below level 70 on the Dragon Isles, which was intended for new players only. It’s uncertain whether this will be adjusted or if everyone will continue to have the leveling buff.

This bug has brought attention to some problems with the Prismatic Blessing. While the powerful buff undoubtedly helps new players level up in World of Warcraft, some fans have concerns that it may be too strong a handicap for them – even without the hilarious immortality glitch. Players lose the buff at level 70 when they are thrown into Khaz Algar, meaning the gameplay experience suddenly becomes much harder as they adapt to slower movement and casting speeds, less survivability, and harsher hazards on top of high-level play.

Nonetheless, there are few better times to get into World of Warcraft than right now. The 20th anniversary event likely starts in a few weeks, giving all World of Warcraft players a massive buff to experience gains. Most of the holiday events can be started as early as level 10, so new players can easily participate in the festivities.
