The frost hidden appearance's "quest" doesn't complete for me either.
Having this same issue. Spent the last 20 minutes running all over the hall using the macro every so often, and it never printed yes. Not sure if there are more requirements than listed, but here's my current progress in the expansion so far:

- Level 110
- Class hall research level 2 unlocked
- Artifact weapon research part 1 completed
- Nightfallen to Honored
- All available Suramar questlines completed
- Class hall campaign is not completed

I'm wondering if the last one is a necessary component or not. My final mission is currently running, so I should finish the campaign tonight or tomorrow at some point. I'll keep testing a bit until then, but I do believe I've covered every inch and crossed every step possible so far without returning a "Yes" result.
I just completed my mage class campaign and the quest trigger still isn't working. Hidden daily roll quest remains uncompleted.
Also completed the pre-raid portion of the Balance of Power / The Power Within questline. I'm past the point I was at on the beta, except for the artifact research, and I have the hidden frost appearance on the beta.

This tells me that it's one of four things:
1. It's not activated yet, and the appearance isn't obtainable yet because of that.
2. There's some relation to artifact knowledge level, and I think this is the most likely thing if it's not a bug.
3. There's some other hidden thing that has to be done that someone wouldn't normally do, but someone might accidentally do while out in the world (click an object somewhere? talk to a seemingly-random NPC?)
4. It's just bugged, and the appearance isn't obtainable and won't be obtainable until that's fixed.

It could have changed from beta, but I really doubt it would've changed that much.

Regard to the arcane mages thing.

So I went around with that frosh hat and sheeped the 5 mobs, got the popup as usual and nothing special. Put it on and teleported to hall also and got no roll completed for that "sheep summon daily".

The day I completed the teleport trait I got the message but had no idea what it meant. I thought an add or something spawned but nope. I did use the ports that day but never did I get ported to anywhere else than I was supposed to, so I guess double rolls are needed, one for portal and one for Frostfire.

Like I said earlier, the "Roll" quests for all classes with them are not working (Feral, Prot, Frost Mage, Arcane Mage). I've updated the main post.

For now, I'm assuming that it's not bugged and that there's some pre-requisite that needs to be completed, either time or something related to the lore or class hall.

I found a mob named 'vrykul shepherd' in Stormheim. He drops no loot, there is also a 'young storm dragon' who drops no loot near him, 6 goats he is shepherding, a 'hungry wolf', and a 'vrykul mariner' who feeds the dragon from a buff he gets called 'barrel of fish'. they are all located south of the Hall of Valor in 'Vrekt'. None of them drop loot.

They might have added a more complicated pre-requisite for the roll quests before you have the chance to get the artifact. Just getting the class hall upgrade and hope you are lucky sounds too easy. Also I don't think it's artifact knowledge related or something boring like that, we probably have to do something in the world.

In regards to the frost appearance :

Was thinking maybe you need to interact with all the npc's that grant the buff for frost The Council's Wisdom:
"Fidge" Frostflash - Bottom of the stairs leading to Krasus Landing
Eve Fredrickson - To the left of the Bank of Dalaran - the North bank
Fiora Ar'nareth - In the Violet Citadel, up the stairs to the second floor
Eldragosa - On top of the glass domed building in the Magus Commerce Exchange, in which the Herbalism trainers are found
Blinks - In the Tailoring shop, The Threads of Fate, on the balcony of the second floor
Vyrin Ethrezil - In the corner of The Legerdemain Lounge
Seanus Copeland - Next to the wishing pond, where the fishing trainer is.

I have spoken to all of them except Vyrin Ethrezil whom i havn't seen up yet.

@Vyridian I thought about that too, but I think I've only talked to 3 of them. Give us an update if you find something out!

Hey guys, i've got an theory about Fire artifact hidden appearance. some or most of you probably have encountered these NPCs in Legion that wish to inspect you're Felo'melorn and after a short RP awards u some AP. I believe these might be some kind of lock for the Stars' Deisgn to drop.

So far i found 3 of these NPCS
Dalaran = The blacksmith
Aszuna = The Reliquary Npc "Coords, 47.8 - 42.6" http://www.wowhead.com/npc=105039/exami ... n-dawnrise" target="_blank
Val'sharah = Explorers league "Coords, 60.8 - 88.6" http://www.wowhead.com/npc=105034/maldur-goldmantle" target="_blank

Hope this information helps and if anyone finds in the other 3 zones "Suramar, Highmountain and Stormheim" Please share their locations! :)

you can search for the NPCs by looking for persons with the borrow artifact ability

there are 7 npcs, im gonna check them all now

Edit: The other 4 NPCs dont interact with you (or not reachable), they probably interact with different classes

I don't think Star's Design (Fire hidden skin) is a random drop in Suramar. I never saw someone using that skin (other than beta folks). Also beta doesn't provide accurate info since devs might be testing things by adding a drop. Most probably it's not a "confirmed" drop mobs in suramar city.

If I use polymorph on any target, the sheep sometimes appears in black.

model:
white: https://gyazo.com/cf1a0a5e71470e75d6bffd0accba64cb" target="_blank
black: https://gyazo.com/fbc4122bbc79b95c642b896cd1c42fae" target="_blank

was that the case before pre patch?

first time I notice :lol:

edit: volatile sheep appears in black even when the actual sheep is white.

also captured the animation

Also I doubt it has anything to do with the toy since it doesn't work for other languages

and there's also this:

tried to trigger it with weakuaras, no success :roll:

I read somewhere that there's something hidden on the wall next to the mission table, looks like it's true. Only appears when you look at the wall at an angle:

https://gyazo.com/6c9a0a7e186d0ec670e0b2f8142bdda1" target="_blank

Does anyone know anything about this? It kind looks like half a map or something? Maybe it's just a bug
Now I'm looking at all the walls from every ankle and blinking towards them trying to cross them in case there's something hidden behind... Kosumoth's hidden orbs have made me so paranoid

Edit: Also, anyone have any footage of how the Frost appearance was obtained in Beta? Like, where you appear in the Frostfire Ridge instance

The map near the mission table is a random Shadowmoon orc doodad that bugged out, so probably not related to any hidden appearance.

Here is a screen of the complete one in Shadowmoon Valley.

Concerning the nest filled with sheep, if you look at it all the way up from the rocks above, it almost just looks like Aluneth, does it not?

Possibly it's just there to let Arcane Mages know somethings up with sheep?

Idk, could be wrong.
