Embers of Fyr'alath - Bad Luck Protection Items Dropping in Amirdrassil
With the weekly reset in North America, players raiding Amirdrassil early have discovered some interesting new tokens dropping within the raid. Greater Ember of Fyr'alath and Lesser Ember of Fyr'alath appear to be a physical manifestation of bad luck protection related to obtaining the legendary axe, Fyr'alath the Dreamrender, but exactly how they work remains a mystery… and perhaps even a little misleading!
Drops from Various Bosses
Although we have only limited information so far, it appears that the Greater Ember has a chance to be personally looted from Fyrakk, while the Lesser Ember has a chance to be personally looted from other raid bosses within Amirdrassil. In both cases, neither drop is guaranteed, they are not tradable, nor does every eligible Warrior/Paladin/Death Knight loot it at the same time.
Looting Bad Luck Protection
Unlike the Evoker legendary, in which bad luck protection simply accumulated in the background, these items appear to be some sort of physical manifestation of that mechanic… although not in a very intuitive way, considering that there's no apparent player-facing counter or tracker to tell you what it's doing. Using the currency engulfs the player in purple shadowflame for a moment, though there's no buff or anything in the currency tab to tell you what it's actually doing.
Aside from a little bit of damage and shadowy swirl, the Greater Ember appears to do… absolutely nothing.
We have figured out a few bits and pieces though. Players can use a special chat command to check currency info for another known spell, giving us information associated with a 10.2 Legendary — Progressive Advance — Tracker.
