Unholy Death Knight Hidden Artifact Appearance
d00mgiv3r found the Unholy Hidden Artifact earlier tonight, but the trigger to obtaining it isn't yet clear.

  • Artifact Knowledge 6 was obtained by d00mgiv3r.
  • Something triggered Putricide's Journal Area Trigger and caused Professor Putricide's Lost Journal to spawn during a fight with the second boss in Court of Stars, but this may be unrelated.
  • The book allows you to see a trap door in Professor Putricide's room in Icecrown Citadel.
  • In the hidden chamber is the Stitchwork that drops The Bonereaper's Hook
  • There is a hidden tracking achievement that may be releated: Hidden Tracking - Apocalypse Ghouls Summoned - Number of Ghouls Summoned by Unholy DK Artifact
  • Research is ongoing in the thread on the forums.

Patch 7.0.3 Hotfixes - October 3

Dungeons and Raids
(All dungeon and raid hotfixes will take effect with realm restarts in each region.)

  • Black Rook Hold
    • Mythic Keystone target time increased to 38 minutes (was 35 minutes).
  • Eye of Azshara
    • Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 35 minutes (was 36 minutes).
  • Maw of Souls
    • Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 24 minutes (was 25 minutes).
  • Neltharion’s Lair
    • Mythic Keystone target time decreased to 33 minutes (was 35 minutes).
  • Emerald Nightmare
    • Vantus Runes can now be used in Mythic Emerald Nightmare.

Il’gynoth
  • On Mythic difficulty, Il’gynoth’s health has been increased by 200%, but loses one-third of that value each time the Eye of Il’gynoth is defeated.
  • On Mythic difficulty, each Nightmare Explosion now deals 20% more damage to the Eye of Il’gynoth.
    • Developers’ Notes: A common strategy for Mythic Il’gynoth involved using raid compositions that focus on maximizing burst damage to complete the encounter in a single phase. This approach removes huge portions of the encounter and can overly favor a specific set of classes and specializations, causing negative social pressures in groups that have yet to reach this encounter. These changes ensure that raid groups must enter Il’gynoth’s core twice in order to complete the encounter on Mythic difficulty, but offset that change by speeding up the process of destroying the Eye to shorten the overall length of the encounter.

Professions
  • Enchanting
    • Crafted items that upgrade to epic quality should now disenchant into Leylight Shards or Chaos Crystals.

PvP
  • Shaman Totems will no longer take unintended extra damage from players.

Quests
  • Players are now able to turn in "Ritual Ruination" to Calydus in Dreadscar Rift if they don’t take the portal out of the scenario.

Fury Warrior Feedback
Once again, thanks for the thoughts and feedback on Fury. We are still in the processing of discussing all the feedback we've received, so I don't have any updates to share at this time.

Hoping I can have something to share with you guys this week. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Definitely not. (WatcherDev)
