Kith'ix Loot
The Unbinding of Kith'ix raid only has one boss, Kith'ix. This boss drops new Cantrip Armor pieces, Trinkets, and a new Hearthstone! On each difficulty, gear drops at 3/6 on the respective track, except for Mythic, which drops at Myth 9/6:
LFR: Item Level 285 (Veteran 3/6)
Normal: Item Level 298 (Champion 3/6)
Heroic: Item Level 311 (Hero 3/6)
Mythic: Item Level 344 (Myth 9/6)
Armor
There are 4 new pieces of Cantrip Armor. These armor pieces are all on Tier Slots, allowing them to be catalyzed into Tier Pieces with the cantrip effect. These cantrip effects have a benefit if you wear a Venomcursed gear piece, which is dropped by Ula'tek.
Weapons
Two new weapons are available: a 1-Handed caster sword and a 2-Handed Sword. There's already a 2-Handed weapon (Maze-roa, Warlord's Fury) from Coiled Altar, which also has a set bonus, so we'll have to see which weapon 2-Handed players use.
Trinkets
Three new trinkets have been added: one tank trinket, one DPS trinket, and one healer trinket.
Ring
A new cantrip ring drops off of Kith'ix, with the stats of heavy Mastery and Haste. This will be the highest item level ring possible in Season 1 so far!
Collections
A new decor item and Hearthstone will drop from Kith'ix as well.
