The Secret Bosses of the Ruins of Lordaeron
The Ruins of Lordaeron are one of the new outdoor areas of World of Warcraft: Forever, and two of their bosses never appear on their own. One waits behind a statue with glowing eyes, the other in the fireplace of a burned house. Both arrive at the end of a fight against waves of undead.

The Rotmender's hunt
The Abandoned drops one piece of Rotmender's Raiment, a five-piece healer set. A second piece, Rotmender's Treads, drops from Rath'mael in the same ruins. The robe, sash and gloves can be traded but nobody has found where they drop. The set bonuses are +10 Intellect at three pieces, 200 mana when you fall below 15% mana at four, and a heal-over-time effect at five.
