To enable players to collect artifact power more quickly in WoW, the Nighthold is getting a small boost – guaranteed item drops are the solution.
One of the main activities in World of Warcraft: Legion involves accumulating artifact power to continuously improve and expand your artifact weapons. Artifact power is awarded as a reward for almost all activities at max level and is often the “consolation prize” when no loot has been received otherwise. At the same time, it is essential, as only a well-developed artifact weapon can compete with other players.
The most effective way to farm artifact power is by visiting “Mythic+” dungeons. This is particularly frustrating for many players, as shouldn’t the hardest content – such as the Nighthold on Mythic – grant the most artifact power?
Josh Allen, better known as Community Manager Lore, made a statement in the official forum:
“We agree that specifically the Nighthold needs to be a better source of artifact power than it has been, but this change will not be included in Patch 7.2.
Because it will be in Patch 7.1.5.
And it went live today with a hotfix.

Yes, even a community manager has to let the troll out of his dungeon for a few moments.
Hotfixes typically go live a bit earlier on American servers than with us. One can assume that this change will be activated in Europe tonight (15.02) or tomorrow with a short server restart.
Those looking to farm a lot of artifact power in the coming days and weeks should focus on the Nighthold at various difficulty levels to upgrade one or two points of their weapon.
The professional guild Exorsus believes that the grind will “only get worse” with Patch 7.2.
