Seed of Corruption — Fixed an issue where Seed of Corruption would not consume Shard Instability on cast.

Fixed an issue where the Delve Shadowguard Point: Shadowguard Survivor would not grant Great Vault credit upon completion.

Fixed a bug causing Ritual Sites to appear to grant Great Vault rewards inconsistent with the available Tiers. Next week, the Great Vault will reward the intended Tiers 1–6 for week 1 activities.

Players cannot receive loot from Nymrissa Wavecaller more than once per week in World difficulty.
