When it comes to most targettable loot from a boss (gear/mounts/pets etc.) those drops have a fixed drop chance. If "Boots of Unending Awesomeness" have a 33% chance of dropping, that chance will always be 33% regardless of how many loot-eligible times you kill that boss.

Legendaries on the other hand, if you are running Legendary-eligible content and don't get a Legendary, then your chance of getting one with increase over time. The more content you do without getting a Legendary, the higher your chance will become.

Let's say you have 3-sided die. If you roll the number 3, you get the item.

In the case of the "Boots of Unending Awesomeness," you could roll the die 20 times and never get a 3. Your chance of getting a 3 on your next roll is still 33%, as all rolls are considered unique and do not take previous rolls into account; the die cares not for the fact that you've yet to roll a 3.*

(*note that this refers to the items that drop directly from the boss and not the system of winning items via bonus loot, which has its own logic.)

In the case of Legendaries, you could roll the die 20 times and never get a 3. However, with bad-luck protection, the die will become more and more weighted toward giving you a 3. Due to the die becoming more weighted, the chance of getting a 3 on your next roll will be higher than without bad luck protection. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    Only, it doesn't really. You still need to complete balance of power quest line, which requires Nighthold before you can use it. You need to unlock the base version of each tier of artifact skins before you can use the other 3 colours of it. So even if you complete a +15mythic, kill 8 world bosses and/or complete glory of the legion hero you still cannot use that skin until you complete all the raid quests, which cannot be done in raid finder.

    You can complete the achievement. You just won't get the artifact appearance from it until you complete and receive the appearance from the Balance of Power quest line.

    Are storm relics called wind relics in other server regions or something?

    Yeah, you do. Don't really know why people would think differently. You first unlock the appearance (first color), then the alternative colors. How is that not logical?

    Meanwhile artifact appearances from raids still stay behind RNGfiesta, 20 kills and counting for my shadow appearance.

    @MMO-Champion: The pictures you have there are actually wrong. The first variant has the wrong color for it's effect, that model belongs to the blue glow (as you can see with the runes and the eyes of the skull in the hilt). The base variant is actually the last one.

    Bullshit, Bad Luck Protection doesn't exists, there's no proof of that whatsoever.
    People who've done 500+++ M+ and still have 2-3 legendaries however, that is extremely common.

    Legendaries, like the rest of Legion, is completely RNG.

    "this is a great time to immerse yourself in World Quests"

    They are so out of touch with reality it's not funny anymore

    The giraffe mount is amazing, and it shows that there are artists out there that can design new models rather than just re-skinning all ready existing models which, unfortunately, seems to be the creative extent of the current WoW team.

    You're not completely wrong, but you're equating concept art with modeling, which are not the same thing.
