The Legion Dungeon Event is live this week!

• You will get one extra piece of loot from the final dungeon boss on difficulties below Mythic+.
• Pick up Emissary of War from Archmage Timear in Dalaran to earn Cache of Antoran Treasures
• This quest requires you to clear 4 Mythic(+) dungeons and rewards Heroic Antorus loot.

All week, open Group Finder (default hotkey: i) and then select Dungeon Finder to queue for any Legion dungeon on Normal or Heroic difficulty. Alternately, get a group of veteran dungeoneers together and travel to one of the Legion dungeons on Mythic difficulty.

Look for the following all week long:

• Archmage Timear near Violet Hold in Dalaran has a quest for you. Or, if you forget to pick it up there, you can start it from within the Adventure Journal.
  
  • Quest requirement: Complete 4 Legion dungeons on Mythic difficulty.
  • Rewards: One loot box containing a piece of gear from Heroic difficulty Antorus.
• Passive bonus: The final boss in each dungeon drop additional loot on all difficulties (except Mythic Keystone difficulties).

PvP Brawl: Shado-Pan Showdown
The PvP brawl for the week is Shado-Pan Showdown, so use the PvP Group Finder to complete Something Different!

Step into Tiger’s Peak Arena and get ready for the Shadow-Pan Showdown. You’ll race for control of a center control point to activate one of two bosses. The first to kill the other team’s boss wins!

Alluradel seems more forthcoming with loot than previously - she and Inquisitor Meto seem the most loathe to relinquish their riches.

Care to elaborate the sources ? The usual sources they have always been or also something else ?

It means you no longer need the upgrade quest to receive them.
