How to Obtain Quantum Items in World of Warcraft (10.1.5)
Quantum items are cosmetics that teach you various appearances from the past. The following guide covers how exactly they work and what type of appearances you can collect.
What Are Quantum Items?
Quantum items are new cosmetic consumables added in Patch 10.1.5.
How Do I Obtain Quantum Items?
The items drop randomly from bosses in the Dawn of the Infinite mega-dungeon. You cannot obtain them anywhere else in the game.
What Makes Quantum Items Special?
Quantum items are consumed upon use and add weapon or gear appearances from the past to your collection. You can collect an infinite number of them and they will always add a different missing appearance to your collection.
List of Appearances Learned from Quantum Items
You will always learn an uncollected appeareance when using a Quantum item. Most of the time, you will see gray or green items, but the consumable also has a very low chance to teach you appearances of items with an extremely low drop chance, like Xavius' shoulders.
Everyone has a different collection of appearances, so there is no fixed list of appearances you will learn when using the items.
