The CoA emissary is available on NA servers for 18 hours and if you haven't completed any world quests for Champions yet, reaching Friendly reputation standing should be fairly easy. The reason why this is important is that Magni will upgrade your Heart of AzerothHeart of Azeroth by 15 item levels (Heart of Azeroth Item Level IncreaseHeart of Azeroth Item Level Increase) at various reputation stages with the faction. The Heart's Power becomes available at Friendly.

Portals to Silithus are located in portal rooms of Boralus/Dazar'Alor. Check out our Champions of Azeroth guide for more details.

Question that maybe someone here knows the answer to. Today's US emissary reward is a weapon from Ember. I was at 329 when I logged in and the reward was 335. Does anyone know what it takes to get the weapon to be 340 as a reward?

Does anyone know what the reward vs current ilvl table is like?

The rewards from world quests stop scaling past 330 equipped. I did not notice any difference after reaching 335 and then 340. Having the gear in your bags does not seem to count, you need to have 330 equipped at the time you turn in.

The reward will be not scaled up after you already seen it. The next if you reached 330 can be 340.

Btw. I hope will be Champions emissary on EU servers too, so close that revered.

OK. So if i get 330 equipped and turn in the quest then I'll get a 340 weapon?

I made it to 331 equipped after the quest reward had already shown me 335. I'm going to log back on later at 331 and complete the quest and should get 340 then right?

Seems like the rewards are +10 ilvls incremented in 5?

320-324 : 330

325-329 : 335

330+      : 340?

I did see some rewards scale up after they had already been viewed, actually. I remember being at 329 and seeing a reward for a 325 Azerite piece out of an emissary cache. Then I put on some off-spec gear to reach 330, looked at the map again and it was 340.

Really, I'm 335 and still seeing all WQs at 320-325......................

Yes, that's right. Most WQ's will give you 320 or 325. Some select pieces will be 330+ and Emissary turn-ins for Azerite pieces should be 340.

I first saw it at 329 and 335 reward and I hit 331 and logged out then logged in like 2 hours later and it's 340 now.

?

I guess they will scale if you increase your ilvl before doing them. I don't know if you have to log out and back in though.

idk, i was only 328 and the reward from the new Voldune emissary was 340 for me.

seems like the math is very peculiar based on everyone's comments.

There is a difference between WQ rewards, and the '4 quest' emissary reward. The former will never go (at the moment, anyway) above 330+ blue (can titanforge). The latter scales based on item level up to 340 epic (I assume can also tf, though not been that lucky).

I can confirm that emissary can be also upgraded even 355 TF.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
