The new content in the game at this point is tuned for you to have your cloak; it's the best back in the game.

It's upgradable.

It has some nice abilities.

The cloak is required for the Carapace of N'Zoth fight in the raid, Ny'alotha, the Waking City, in fact you even can't queue for LFR without it.

The cloak allows you to take advantage of Corrupted Gear - more on that in a minute.

Upgrading the Legendary Cloak...

Accept a quest from Wrathion's to look for items in a Horrific Vision.

Purchase a Ricettacolo delle Visioni Orripilanti from Wrathion for or from MOTHER for . You may also receive a Ricettacolo delle Visioni Orripilanti as a quest reward from a Visions of N'Zoth Assault.

Use the Ricettacolo delle Visioni Orripilanti to enter and complete a Horrific Vision.

Turn in your quest to Wrathion. He will reward you with an item that will upgrade your cloak. Depending on how many times you have done this, it will be a Nucleo Corrompente, a Nucleo Orripilante, or a Nucleo Nato dal Vuoto.

Right-click the item in your bag and apply it to the cloak.

Access the Titanic Research Archive and spend Ricordi Corrotti to gain more abilities to make your next Horrific Vision easier.

Rinse. Repeat.

Each Horrific Vision has five areas each with an end boss.

The Horrific Vision is complete when you kill the end boss in the first section - yes, it ends when you kill the first boss last. And you thought insanity was just for your character.

When you are in a Horrific Vision, you will need to manage your sanity - it will be represented by a bar on your UI.

If you die (or if all party members die if you are in a group), the Horrific Vision ends.

If you run out of sanity (again, or all party members), the Horrific Vision ends.

Getting Your Gear Dirty: The Corruption System

Each piece of gear that drops in patch 8.3 content has a chance to be Corrupted.

Each piece of Corrupted gear has a number indicating the amount of corruption that you will incur should you equip this item.

Each piece of Corrupted gear has a positive ability that you will gain should you equip it.

The more powerful the positive ability, the more corruption it will cost.

You will incur negative effects based on your level of corruption.

Your Legendary Cloak and some Essences give you Corruption Resistance.

The Real Cost of Corruption

Once you have Corrupted gear equipped, you will see this creepy N'Zoth eye on your Gear Panel. Hover over it to see your Corruption details.
Equipped Corrupted gear glows purple when the information panel is open.
This is a summary of your equipped Corruption.
Base Corruption: This is the total Corruption of the gear that you have equipped.
Corruption Resistance: This is the Corruption Resistance provided by your cloak and/or Essences.
Total Corruption: This is your total effective Corruption, ie. Base Corruption minus Corruption Resistance.
Corruption Effects: These are the negative effects that you can incur from Corruption along with the amount of Corruption needed to activate them. Those that are not active are greyed out. These penalties are activated based on your Total Corruption.
