the first time you do the boss that week in each difficulty). I assume that you’ll only be able to get it if you are loot eligible (i.e. Technically you have four chances per week to get it, if you do LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic. Your spec in the raid doesn’t matter, nor does the difficulty. It’s a completely random drop from Il’gynoth in Emerald Nightmare, which makes it technically more limited than the healing appearances due to raid lockouts. Your creepy Claw of N’Zoth is from…wait for it… Il’gynoth. Shadow’s hidden Artifact appearance is simple. Combine these to make Staff of the Lightborn, which will grant you the Crest of the Lightborn appearance. Eventually, when you’re just about to give up hope, Hyrja will drop Crest of the Lightborn. I’m not sure if you need the Valarjar staff in your bags, but I had it in mine. Your spec doesn’t matter, just that you have exalted reputation with the Valarjar. I got mine within about 20 Hyrja kills, 15 of those were farming Normal over and over for two days with two daily Heroics thrown in. Hyrja’s drop is not guaranteed, though the exact drop chance is unknown.
Then go run Halls of Valor until your eyes fall out, or until you get sick of it. When you reach exalted with the Valarjar, you can buy Rod of the Ascended from Valdemar Stormseeker for 1,600 gold. Holy’s hidden Artifact appearance has two parts: a staff purchased from the Valarjar Emissary and a headpiece dropped from Hyrja. He’ll then give you Writings of the End, which grants you Tomekeeper’s Spire. Once you have all 12, you can head back to your Class Hall, combine the books by right-clicking on them, and talk to Archivist Inkforge again. Make sure you get all 12 books within the weekly server reset, otherwise they can bug out and you might have to re-collect some.
Hidden Artifact appearances have been the talk of WoW lately, with each class receiving a unique way to acquire each appearance.
