The Nightmare Dragons have been updated in Season of Discovery to provide catch-up for players. Here’s Blizzard’s blue post about the rewards and tuning that will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.
With scheduled weekly maintenance, the Nightmare Dragons have been updated to be a series of bosses players can use to catch up in many ways.
Rewards
- The Nightmare Dragons now drop three Tarnished Undermine Reals each.
- The Nightmare Dragons now each drop a piece of Non-C’thun Temple of Ahn’Qiraj Tier.
- As a result of dropping Ahn’Qiraj Temple tier gear from the Nightmare Grove, we are also giving players access to the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj vendors right at the entrance of the raid. These NPCs are Kandrostrasz, Vethsera, and Andorgos.
- The Nightmare Dragons now each drop a piece of Blackwing Tier that is not available on the Undermine Real vendor. (Shoulders/Legs/Head/Chest).
- The Nightmare Dragons now each drop a Blackwing Lair class trinket.
- All of the pieces in the Nightmare Dragon’s old loot has had 8 primary armor slots updated to have the Timeworn tag, allowing them to interact with the Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight line.
- To allow players more chances to get missing patterns, the Nightmare Dragons can now drop all of the enchanting and engineering patterns from Molten Core and Ahn’Qiraj.
Tuning
- Health of all bosses and enemy creatures reduced by 15%.
- Damage and healing of all bosses and enemy creatures reduced by 30%.
- All Dragons no longer thrash.
- Emeriss – NPC priests during the PvP raid phase no longer cast Mind Control.
- Lethon – Damage reduction aura from the large Spirit Shade reduced to 50% (was 99%), and movement speed of Spirit Shades lowered by 25%.

As before, the Nightmare Dragons remain on the twice a week lockout.
