Mythic Fyrakk Buffed in Hotfix

Over the last 24 hours, a couple more Mythic+ hotfixes have been made to live servers.

As guilds continue to defeat Mythic Fyrakk in Amirdrassil, the elusive Cinder of Companionship required for Hunters to tame the fiery flying spirit beast Nah'qi and Feather of the Blazing Somnowl granting Druids a new flight form are now confirmed to be awarded upon learning Reins of Anu'relos, Flame's Guidance! While this revelation may be cause for rejoice, it also comes with the unfortunate realization that all three rewards appear to be locked behind Mythic difficulty. It turns out all three are awarded together, and only on Mythic difficulty! Although Nah'qi was tamable for a brief time after the launch of Patch 10.2, by using a Shaman or Mage to crowd control the spirit beast during taming, this was quickly patched out with all instances of the pet removed. Attempting to tame Nah'qi normally returns the message «you haven't proven yourself to this spirit,» which datamining told us the Cinder of Companionship was clearly meant for, though its acquisition remained an elusive mystery up until this point.

Blizzard has posted another Mythic Tindral hotfix coming soon!

Blizzard has posted upcoming Amirdrassil tuning for the Weekly Reset which includes Mythic Tindral and Fyrakk nerfs! It's unclear exactly what Fallen Feathers damage reduced means considering the ability doesn't actually do damage, it could mean Falling Star.

Blizzard has posted new Dragonflight hotfixes, addressing issues with Fyrakk, Galakrond's Fall, Everbloom, and Waycrest Manor, as well as detailing the trinket tuning changes detected earlier this evening.

More Mythic+ hotfixes have been pushed which includes fixes to cheese strategies in Everbloom and Waycrest Manor.

After 449 pulls, Method has defeated Mythic Fyrakk the Blazing, securing a World Third ranking in Amirdrassil! Congratulations! Coming in third place on Smolderon, Tindral, and Fyrakk, Method made a strong showing in Amirdrassil, continuing their legacy of excellence in world first race raiding.

Blizzard has posted Patch 10.2 hotfixes for today which includes more class bug fixes for Augmentation and Assassination Rogue, and more Mythic+ tuning!

Some unannounced Mythic+ hotfixes have occurred on the Weekly Reset including increasing the DOTI: Rise Timer by 1 minute.

Team Liquid has claimed the World Second victory over Mythic Fyrakk the Blazing after a grueling 463 pulls, finishing Amirdrassil and concluding their Season 3 Dragonflight race event! Although the tier started out seemingly easy, with the first six bosses taking less than 10 pulls to defeat each, and Smolderon requiring just under 60, Team Liquid experienced a sudden and massive jump up in difficulty upon encountering Tindral Sageswift, which between bugs and tuning would cost them a staggering 435 pulls, cementing it in the top 10 world first pull count bosses of all time. Fyrakk initially seemed like it might be quicker, but the constant bombardment of raid mechanics and instant raid wipes turned it into a long and arduous affair, resulting in a far tighter race than we've seen in recent history. Although Team Liquid got there first, they went back and forth with Echo, setting a series of new best pulls from 9.58% for Echo to 6.51% for Liquid, followed by a 1.79% lead for Echo just barely edged out with a 1.72% wipe by Liquid as their pull counts grew into the four hundreds. Although Echo would secure victory and Liquid suffered a heartbreaking 0.66% wipe, Team Liquid's perseverance in spite of losing first place kept them going long enough to finally take the Incarnate down with a pull count that eclipsed even Tindral's progression.

With the world first victory over Mythic Fyrakk, the world first legendary axe Fyr'alath the Dreamrender has also dropped directly from the boss! While we wait for more information, it looks like the item drops directly, though it appears to be unequippable until completing a quest, similar to crafting up Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy for Evokers. Interestingly, the axe also doesn't appear to be personal loot either, as the explosion of excitement and energy after the world first kill resulted in most of the players passing, with the weapon ultimately looted by Meeres. The first Evoker legendary also wasn't personal loot though, so this doesn't necessarily mean that subsequent ones won't be. Who got the legendary?! It's unclear what this means for the rest of the world, if the weapon is indeed meant to only drop on Mythic difficulty or whether it will also unlock for players on lower difficulties after the next weekly reset the same way Nasz'uro did in Patch 10.1.

As for the effect, there's very little information on that yet either — the on use effect simply reads: Wield the might of The Blazing, becoming enveloped in its Shadowflame. This also restricts it from being wielded, as attempting to equip the axe literally envelops the player in Shadowflame — beginning the legendary questchain. Attempting to equip the weapon goes badly, but begins the legendary questline to claim its power. We're sure to find out more in very short order, though it's also interesting to note that the available classes includes a mysterious «Adventurer», but this is probably just a leftover internal test setting on Blizzard's part.
