Legendary Upgrades After the Nighthold Opens

Since the release of Patch 7.1.5, we've received a number of questions relating to the Nighthold Legendary item upgrades and how that process will work. We'd like to provide some clarity on what you can expect next week.

When the Nighthold opens next week, players who have acquired at least one Legion Legendary item will find a quest in Dalaran to upgrade a Legendary from item level 910 to 940. This quest involves collecting a number of Essences of Aman’thul, which can be found in the following locations:

Nighthold Raid Bosses

Weekly Mythic Keystone Cache

Emissary Bags

PvP Weekly Quests

Once you have completed the quest, you'll be given a Distilled Titan Essence, which can be consumed to upgrade a Legion Legendary item to level 940. The quest is repeatable, so you'll be able to earn as many Distilled Titan Essences as you need to upgrade any Legendaries you have.

Additionally, once the Nighthold is open, any new Legendaries you discover will already be item level 940. Note that this does not apply retroactively to Emissary Bags that you may already have in your inventory when the time comes. Only new bags earned after the Nighthold is open have the chance to reward an item level 940 Legendary.

Thanks!

Will it be available on all levels of NH?

These will drop in all difficulties of the Nighthold, LFR included.

Rythmor,

Thank you for this information. Could you possibly confirm or deny the alleged connection of this quest to the completion of the Illidan/Xe'ra Questline?

Thank you

Edit:

Thank you to those that posted the twitter information denying the connection, back to my crusade of convincing devs/CMs to use their own website to post information.

Hello! Yes, as stated on WarcraftDevs, there is no connection. Thanks everyone else for the help.

Who in the hell is this Rythmor character?

I didn't know there were any other WoW blues except Ornyx and Lore

Haven't been on the team as long as others :) Not on the forums all day every day as Ornyx is, mostly a lurker working on other behind-the-scenes stuff. But this bear will show up every once in a while.

Will there be a lockout on a per boss basis, or a per difficulty basis?

It will be on a per-boss basis.
