> What changed in Polestar 0.3.4, released November 6, 2026.

Page: https://polestar.guide/docs/reference/changelog/0-3-4 (Polestar docs > Reference > Changelog)

## For players

- Ashenvale: Va'xug Firefure's A Void Path is taken once Never Coming Back is
  handed in to him, on the same visit, instead of together with it, when he
  doesn't offer it yet (thanks soockee and jiskim, and CDVolvik for the same
  fix in the quest data).
- Druid Cat Form: the arrow for the Great Cat Spirit's quests leads to where it
  stands, on the hill by the bridge in southern Moonglade, instead of a spot
  about 90 yards east of it (Cat Form guide, Darkshore and The Barrens)
  (thanks Snowiee, #1003).
- Ratchet, the Crossroads, Sun Rock Retreat and Tarren Mill: the guide binds
  your hearthstone at the inn after the givers beside the ones you just
  visited (Mebok Mizzyrix's Raptor Horns by the WANTED poster, Mankrik,
  Maggran Earthbinder, Apothecary Lydon), instead of sending you up to the inn
  and back to them (thanks Bill).
- Dungeons: "Pick up the quests" follows your own faction for every quest and
  giver, whatever the page's Horde / Alliance / All switch shows. Blackfathom
  Deeps no longer sends Horde characters to Darnassus for the Alliance's In
  Search of Thaelrid (thanks jiskim, #1026).
- When a level-up, or a quest you hand in, opens a dungeon's quests to you, a
  card on the guide window says so, once per dungeon ("Wailing Caverns is open
  to you: 3 quests to pick up"). Pick up the quests opens a guide for them in
  a new tab, and Open in Dungeons shows the dungeon's page. Turn it off on the
  card or under Options > Discovery > Dungeons (thanks mcclaskiem, #836).
- Arrow: from Rut'theran Village to the top of Teldrassil, the route takes the
  portal up to Darnassus and walks on from there. It no longer draws a walk
  straight up the tree, or sends you back down the portal once you're in
  Darnassus, round and round (thanks Dante).
- The Deadmines pick-up guide sends you for Murloc Gills before Moonbrook
  Espionage: Alba Fairmoon offers Moonbrook Espionage only once both Murloc
  Gills and The State of the Mines are handed in (thanks Slugstur, #991).
- Nameplate icons: a new setting, Options > Questing > Quests > Nameplate icon
  position, moves the quest skull and your progress (3/10) from the left of
  the health bar to its right or above the name, so another addon's quest
  icon no longer covers them (thanks VenoMan).
- The "You've reached the end" window no longer opens in the middle of a
  guide when you talk to a quest giver before handing in the quest that
  unlocks their next one (Regthar Deathgate and Kolkar Leaders in The
  Barrens, with 46 steps still to go). A guide's last step now ends the
  guide early only when you have really done it, not when its quest is just
  out of reach for the moment. A class or race quest done elsewhere no
  longer ends a leveling guide either: Cat Form, the last step of The
  Barrens (19-23) for Druids, done early in its class guide used to end
  The Barrens halfway. (thanks MrM00se)
- The Codex behind Lookup, Nearby services and the Dungeons pages is rebuilt
  only from sources we're allowed to ship (the game client, the community quest database's quest
  data, our recordings and public facts) and catches up with this month's
  fixes: Nearby services now finds food and drink, arrow, bullet, bow and gun
  and general goods vendors, pick-up guides follow quest chains such as The
  Wrath of Rath'mael's (thanks lif3l3ss and boldarblood37), dungeon pages
  show each quest's XP, Onyxia's attunement can be guided, lookups leave out
  stray spawns, and your own race's vendor mounts no longer ask for Exalted.
  The Forever-only racial mounts (the Reins of the Striped Dawnsaber, the
  White Kodo, the Black Skeletal Horse) now name their vendor.
- Quest data: The State of the Mines (Deadmines) now needs both Testing the
  Wells and Murloc Gills, and the Moonsilver Blade quests before Old Fire-Eye
  (Shadowfang Keep) are listed in their order, as players' recordings show.
- The guide window's look-ahead lines ("Then out here: …", "Then: Gakin the
  Darkbinder · Turn in The Binding"), Along the way and Up next wrap onto a
  second line instead of cutting names off with "…". Opened, a look-ahead
  line names only the place or the person, since its goals are listed right
  under it (thanks to a player on Discord).
- Party play works on Forever: Polestar now recognizes party members by
  their full first and last name, so party sync, the party line and the
  party panel see each other. In a group with someone else running
  Polestar, nothing needs turning on: sync starts by itself and the party
  panel opens the first time their Polestar is heard (close it and it stays
  closed; `/polestar party` brings it back and says why when nothing can
  show yet). The Characters page keeps two characters with the same first
  name apart, and the Recorder leaves out your last name too. (thanks
  uNBEx)
- With Waypoint UI installed and Options > Navigation > Blizzard waypoint on,
  its marker in the world now follows the guide by name: a turn-in, or a quest
  objective at one spot, tracks the quest itself (Waypoint UI's own quest
  marker); any other goal, a kill or collect among spawns included, is a pin
  named after the step ("Talk to Executor Arren") at Polestar's spot instead of
  "Map Pin". Polestar only clears the pin or tracked quest it set, never one
  you chose. Without Waypoint UI nothing changes.

## Forge

- `forge release pack` warns when `Polestar_Codex` was built from another
  reference data build than `data/forever`: the pick-up guides' quest chains
  read the Codex, so a prerequisite fixed since (The Wrath of Rath'mael after
  the Rear Guard Patrol chain) reaches players only with a rebuilt Codex
  (thanks lif3l3ss and boldarblood37).
- `forge data codex` no longer reads the leveling gear lists or any installed addon
  for a release build. It reads the item sources players' recordings show
  from the committed snapshot `data/codex/recorded.json` (only players the
  data build counts; `--recordings <dir>` rewrites it from a recordings
  folder), and a collectible guide's `buy` step names the item's vendor.
  `forge release pack` refuses a Codex that still names the leveling gear lists.
