Emerald Nightmare Opens This Week

Icy Veins - Emerald Nightmare Guides
Our friends over at Icy Veins are finishing up their Emerald Nightmare guides, so be sure to take a look so that you are ready to go this week.
WoWProgress Profiles
WoWProgress has updated character profiles to show Artifact Traits and should be ready to go for the progression race!
World Bosses
The world bosses will begin spawning this week! Killing them allows you to unlock another artifact appearance via Unleashed Monstrosities. Several of them also dropped hidden Artifact appearances in beta.
Mythic+ Dungeons
Mythic+ dungeons open this week, with rewards that scale up along with the dungeon difficulty.
Dungeon
Every dungeon has a fairly forgiving timer you must beat to keep your keystone active.
You still get loot if you don't beat the timer, but your keystone becomes depleted.
As the keystone level increases, mobs in the dungeon do more damage and have more health.
The health and damage modifier is an almost linear increase, starting at 9% for Level 2 and increasing to 100% at Level 10.
Rewards
The max item level for rewards will be capped at 850 for the first week.
Rewards come from a chest at the end of the run, ranging from item level 845 at Mythic 2 to 865 at Mythic 10.
This chest contains two pieces of loot for the group, which is a change from beta.
You also get a weekly chest with loot based on your best run for the week, scaling from item level 860 to item level 880 at Mythic 10.
Rewards have a chance to be Warforged or Titanforged, allowing them to potentially scale all the way up to item level 895.
The only lockout on Mythic is the availability of keystones, you can keep doing them as long as someone has an active keystone.
Keystones
Check out Blizzard's official preview for Mythic Keystones.
Keystones have modifiers that make the dungeon more challenging, with more being added as the keystone level increases.
New keystone modifiers appear at Levels 4, 7, and 10.
There is a list of keystone modifier pairs from beta, but it may be outdated.
You can obtain a keystone by completing a Mythic dungeon or completing a Mythic+ dungeon run.
You also can obtain a keystone from your weekly chest, with a level slightly below your best run last week.
Each keystone only works for one Mythic+ dungeon and this is selected randomly upon creation or upgrade of the keystone.
Keystones will only select a dungeon that is unlocked for everyone in the group when it is modified.
Keystones are upgraded when you complete a Mythic+ dungeon, with the amount of the upgrade determined by how much you beat the timer by.
If you don't beat the timer, your keystone will be depleted.
Depleted keystones can still be used to start additional runs, but those runs won't give a loot chest at the end.
If you do beat the timer on a depleted keystone run, your keystone will be upgraded and empowered again, so you can attempt the next difficulty level for loot.
