Bug description: The lootable items needed for the discipline priest artifact hidden appearance are not, well, lootable. In fact they are invisible! Or maybe I am the only one that cannot see them?! I have made an album, with locations and freakz database, I hope you have the patience to view all the photos.

@Aralisha I did what you said, but nothing changed. They are still not visible

I used to investigate on this, check this post : https://forum.wow-freakz.com/view-post-5652176.html

Greetings, First off i'd like to thank your indulgence, it's been a while since this issue has been first reported but we potentially made a change that would fix the issue. To clearly understand what's going on, let's quickly and simply talk about how you achieve this journey to get the Discpline Priest's hidden artifact appearence : At first, you will speak to Archivist Inforge within your class hall. This will unlock the location of the 12 books as seen here (forget the very last entry, it's our test subject). You are not complied to do it in a specific order but once you've retrieved all the books, you go back to Inkforge and tell him to create a goddamn staff out of books, have faith they said... Now, the problematic is that some players are stuck at some point because while they fetched all the books, some of them didn't count toward the ultimate goal while the source of the books disappeared. This is because the books are tied to a list of hidden quests that define wether or not the object are visible. Once a book is collected, its related object becomes invisible because the quest tied to it is completed. While we can't explain why it bugged out for you, we came to find a solution that hopefully will end this suffering. From now on*, all the objects will reappear everyday until you obtain the hidden appearence. The above mentionned hidden quests are now daily which means you will see every books again but you don't need to fetch all of them if you know which one you need to retrieve again. Theorically, you simply will have to wait a day before trying again if you still can't complete the "quest chain".

Although i've said that you only need to check the books you're missing, it's better to check them all again just to be sure. It's not a very hard thing to do, it just takes time but it seems to be doable now :

@Magnus06 As I was saying before, the books just don't spawn (for me). I speak to Archivist Inkforge everyday, and the other books just don't spawn. In the database they appear as spawned, but they are invisible for me. And the devs just ignore this post...I want to be a Disci priest main, and I really want this hidden appearance, I don't like playing the other specs. But as far as i'm concearned, the devs just don't want players to play disci priest. Holy ftw, that way you spend a lot more time playing, as you need exalted with Valarjar to get the hidden appearance (time that i do not posses) . I used to follow up on your post, but it seems that it was ignored also back then, as it is now. The priority (in my opinion) is to have all artifacts working 100%, as well as quests, and then they can focus on raids/dungeons. But it seems they have another schedule Looking forward into getting this artifact skin, I hope I get it before the patch changes again...

Have you tried to clear your cache and try again ? It might means to wait another day though.

So far you have none of the books, even those that drop from monster (i think some do, iirc) ?

[yurimld92]

Yes, i have deleted my cache folder + FrameXML folder...but still nothing. I didn't even bother to go and kill the mobs, and didn't want to go and take a cooldown in Karazhan...what for? There are 2 books in the temple, 1 in Dalaran, neither one spawned for me, therefore i didn't go for the others, who are surely not spawned as well
