Do we have any new information about these things? You get the skin from the "visage of the first wakener", but cant find anywhere how to obtain this. Also is the hidden effect supposed to be that the skull talks? Has anyone found anything else?
Edit:
Demonology Artifact Hidden Appearance
To unlock the hidden Appearance for Demonology you will need to farm Eredar mobs in the Broken Isles and collect 6 heads.
The 6 Heads consist of 5 grey quality item heads and the sixth is the artifact appearance. The Heads will allways drop
with the same order in a progressive manner. That means when you loot a particular Head you will be flagged as eligible for
the next head to drop.
The drop order of the Eredar Heads is: (1)Damaged --> (2)Deformed --> (3)Malformed --> (4)Deficient --> (5)Nearly Satisfactory ---> (6)Visage of the First Wakener
To be eligible for the first Head to drop you need to have at least AK4.
The most common mobs to farm them, are Eredar Shadowguards and Shadowsworn Defilers in Highmountain Burial Ground,
north Highmountain

and Eredar Soulmages in/around Soul Engine:Apocalypse in Aszuna

Once you obtain the Hidden skin, to unlock the color variations you have to complete 100 Dungeons / 200 Wquests / Kill 1000
players while having the hidden skin equipped. Unlocking the different colors counts for all the hidden artifact skins (Destro and
Affl).
FAQ:
-Are there any other requirements i need to have to be eligible for the Head drops?
Currently no. Just AK4. You dont need any exalted reputations or a Xavius kill. Artifact progression doesnt play a role
either.
-How do i track the progression of the differend color variations?
You can use the following scripts:
/run AddTrackedAchievement(11152) - for dungeons (100)
/run AddTrackedAchievement(11153) - for wquests (200)
/run AddTrackedAchievement(11154) - for player killing (1000)
Note: the dungeon one can get buggy
- Can i farm the Heads while in Group with other ppl farming it too?
Yes
- Do i have to be in Demonology spec for the Heads to drop?
No, any spec will work. Even if you dont have the demo artifact with you, you will still get the drops and even get the voice lines
of Thal'kiel for each head. Also loot specialization doesnt matter.
- What happens if i delete/vendor one of the Heads after getting it?
Nothing happens. You can continue as usuall. Once you get a head drop the game flags you as eligible for the next one. Though
i would keep them for collective purposes.
