What kind of artifacts are in the legion. How to get all artifact appearances? Alternative characters and ways to strengthen them

We touched on the mechanics and leveling up of this new type of weapon. In this part we will talk about how to change appearance World of Warcraft: Legion artifacts.

Update Patch 7.2. In patch 7.2, new appearances for artifacts were introduced. .

At release it is planned that artifacts will have five different styles or types (the sixth will not be available at the launch of the add-on, most likely it will be released in some patch) and each style will have its own color scheme. There are several paths that will reveal to you these types and variations of the type of artifact. Remember that you can change them in the Artifact Forge in the Class Stronghold.

A few important notes. Remember that you can transmogrify an artifact using another weapon. A certain style of weapon changes its type - for example, for VM hunters, an artifact can be either a bow or a gun. The first five types that will be available at launch are described below:

• classic view: quests related to the Class Stronghold;
• improved view: achievements and quests related to the Class Stronghold, artifact upgrades and archaeology;
• valiant view: PvE progress (5ppl dungeons);
• hardened look: PvP progress (prestige levels);
• hidden view: the path of obtaining varies for each individual spec;
• other types: were discovered by dataminers, but what they can be obtained for is still unknown.

In order to open variations of a certain style, you must first open its “main view” (Main Tint). For example, in order to gain access to the "improved" style branch, you need to complete the Balance of Power quest chain and only then you need to complete all the other achievements necessary to obtain other variations of the style.

Style variations are unlocked on a per-character basis and do not apply to all characters. account- you will need to repeat the achievements on each of them to gain access to the artifact weapon style. The only exception to this rule is the “Glory to the Legion Hero” meta-achievement, which is given for receiving all achievements in 5ppl.

Now let's learn more about how to access the view and its variations.

Artifact weapons are a powerful aid in your fight against the destructive forces of the Burning Legion that have invaded Azeroth. There is a separate artifact weapon for each class specialization, and these can be enhanced through artifact research.

First things first

Legion offers all level 100 players a quest to obtain their first artifact weapon. In most cases, players will first start looking for a weapon for their primary specialization or for a new character's first chosen specialization. However, with the ease of changing specializations at level 102, things start to get more complicated as players get the opportunity to acquire all the other artifact weapons for their class. Players will be faced with the choice of whether to distribute the artifact's power among all available weapons or concentrate on one. Let's try to figure it out and see what to expect from strengthening weapons, and what methods of strengthening there are.

Knowledge is power

When your character reaches level 110, he will be able to receive a new quest in the class hall, allowing him to place orders for research. Each such order will provide you with Artifact Data, which will familiarize you with the history of all Artifact weapons available to you, and will also increase the rate at which Artifact Power is accumulated for all Artifact Weapons intended for the corresponding specializations of your class.

Extra Strength

There are many ways to accumulate artifact power in the game. In addition, you can get additional bonuses for artifacts for a certain play activity- for example, for completing a dungeon or participating in a raid or PvP battle for the first time in a day. If you want to increase the power of your weapons as effectively as possible, try to diversify your activities in the game.

Power distribution

Artifact knowledge will help you strengthen your artifact weapons faster, but at what point is it worth switching from your main weapon to a second or even third? Once your primary weapon reaches power level 13, the cost of further enhancing it will increase significantly. You can continue to enhance it further, but you can switch to another weapon - the cost of enhancing it from level 1 to 13 will be even lower than increasing the level of your main weapon from 13 to 14.

Alternative characters and ways to strengthen them

What if you want to develop several characters at once? By focusing all your efforts on one character and their weapon, you will eventually become proficient with that weapon faster. But, of course, everyone plays at different speeds, and often with several characters - we haven’t forgotten about that either. It will be easier to strengthen the artifact weapons of your secondary characters by speeding up the completion of orders for artifact research. The system tracks how much time has passed since the update was released and gradually reduces the time required to complete these orders, thereby speeding up the acquisition of knowledge about the artifact. So if you are simultaneously working on developing an alternative character or just don’t spend too much time in the game, the system will automatically adjust to you.

There are a lot of ways to accumulate artifact power in the game, and ultimately it’s up to you to decide which weapon you will enhance and to what level. The knowledge of artifacts is described in more detail

In this guide we will tell you all about Legion artifacts in World of Warcraft. We will give detailed information about talents and artifact relics, their appearance, power and knowledge of the artifact in WOW.

Artifacts are unique weapon for each specialization, added in Legion. The power of such weapons grows as the player progresses through the plot of the add-on.

Note: made some changes to the artifact system. Main: new talents have appeared and new appearances of artifacts have become available. For minor changes, read the guide to patch 7.2 (section about artifacts).

What you need to know about artifacts in WoW

Basic information:

• There is an artifact for each specialization of each class - thus, there are 36 combat artifacts in the Legion. This is an exceptionally powerful weapon.
• The 37th artifact is related to fishing - it is a fishing rod for fishermen.
• To receive the artifact, you need to complete the quest chain for your specialization. As the quests progress, you will learn a lot of information about famous representatives of your class.
• The Artifact is your character's main weapon in the Legion. There is no stronger weapon.
• Artifact Traits/Talents – Improve the abilities of your class.
• Relics are items that can be inserted into an artifact to enhance certain talents and increase the overall level of the item (and, accordingly, its characteristics).
• The power of the artifact grows as the Power of the artifact is gained. This unlocks new available talents and relics.
• Artifact Knowledge is a special system that allows players to quickly obtain artifacts for the second and third specializations.
• All artifacts of your class can be obtained through the campaign in the class stronghold.
• Artifacts have various styles and colors that can be unlocked through performing certain actions. An artifact can be transmogrified into another weapon (see the Legion transmog guide), but you cannot give a weapon the appearance of an artifact.

Artifact Power in WOW Legion

Artifact talents can be upgraded using Artifact Power. At the same time, Artifact Power is not a currency (it cannot be accumulated and spent), but is rather similar to experience: by receiving Artifact Power, you unlock new talents in the talent tree of your weapon.

The current amount of available Artifact Power is displayed above the experience bar. By hovering your cursor over it, you will see how many units of Artifact Power you are missing before unlocking the next talent.

Artifact power in Legion can be obtained through the use of consumable items, such as a Glass of Dalaran Wine or a Brief History of the Ages.

Items that provide Artifact Power can be obtained in different ways:

• Treasure hunt;
• Missions in a class stronghold;
• PvP victories on battlefields and arenas;
• Completing major quests or local tasks;
• Chests for completing a series of local quests (for 4 tasks for one faction);
• Additional objectives and bonus tasks in the open world;
• Drop from rarities, bosses in dungeons and raids of the Legion, world bosses;
• Completing random dungeons on normal and heroic difficulty;

Good video about Artifact Power:

When you receive one of these items, click on it to add Power to the artifact currently equipped on the character.

• If you want to add Artifact Power to a weapon you have in your inventory (an artifact for your other specialization), you first need to equip this artifact, and only then use a consumable item.
• The power of artifacts is calculated separately for each weapon. That is, if you added 10,000 units of artifact power to the current artifact, this will not affect the weapons for your other specializations.

The amount of Artifact Power obtained from similar consumable items is can be increased with Artifact Knowledge. More details about this are written in the corresponding section of our guide.

Every time you spend Power on upgrading artifact talents, the cost of unlocking subsequent talents increases significantly. To upgrade the first talent, you need 100 units of Strength, and then this number can reach up to 5,000,000.

Artifact Talents (features)

Features (or talents) of the artifact - these are special skills that are unlocked as you level up the artifact. To learn each talent you need Artifact Power, and as you level up more talents on one weapon, subsequent talents require more and more Artifact Power.

Each artifact weapon has one free talent (the very first one), which does not require resources to level up and gives you a powerful class ability. Typically, the ability from the first talent is active and appears on your ability bar, but for some classes and specializations it can be passive.

Relic Effect #1: Item Level Up

Each relic has a certain item level - in beta it ranged from 670 to 895.

• The higher the level of the relic, the more item levels it will add to the artifact.
  • For example, Soul Fibril (level 805, craft) will add +31 ilvl to the weapon, and Flickering Spark of Time (level 850, drop in raids) will add +43 ilvl.
  • Relics that drop in dungeons, raids, and from world bosses, when dropped, have a certain chance of being upgraded by +5 item levels. Taking into account all difficulty options, the maximum item level for such relics is 895.
• The starting level of all artifacts is 750, and each relic inserted into a socket increases this level. Maximum level artifact that can be overclocked in T19 content - 918(with three improved level 895 relics).

Relics can be inserted into your artifact to increase the item's level. Each relic also allows you to increase the rank of one feature of the artifact.

The table below shows the levels of relics depending on the source of receipt:

Source	Level	Level boost	Notes
Regular quests and world quests	670-815	+2-33 ilvls	Quest rewards scale to the player's level when they turn in the quest.
			Rewards for world quests are level 805+ (can proc upgraded ones)
Normals	700-805+*	+2-31 ilvls	The item's level depends on the character's level at the time of killing the monster/boss.
Craft	805	+31 ilvls	Crafted Relics cannot be upgraded with Obliterium like other crafted items
Heroics	825+*	+36 ilvls
Raids (LFR)	835+*	+39 ilvls
Mythic dungeons	840+*	+40 ilvls
Raids (normals)	850+*	+43 ilvls
World bosses	860+*	+46 ilvls
Raids (heroic)	865+*	+48 ilvls
Raids (Mythic)	880+*	+52 ilvls
Maximum level	895	+56 ilvls

* Relics marked with an asterisk may be randomly upgraded when dropped. The table in this guide shows the minimum item level for them.

Relic Effect #2: Bonus Ranks for Talents

Each relic improves a specific artifact talent. On Wowhead, a list of such talents can be viewed by selecting the “Improves” tab on the relics page. Thus, if you want to enhance a certain talent on an artifact, you need to look for special relics.

• The relic immediately gives an additional rank and increases it. If it was 0/3, it will become 1/4.
• Relics do not allow you to cheat the talent system: if a relic turns a 0/1 talent into a 1/2, you will still need to level one rank to move further up the talent tree.
• One talent can be maximally upgraded to rank 6/6. In this case, all three relics in the artifact slots should improve one talent.

How to get an artifact in WoW Legion

The first artifact in the Legion can be obtained at level 100.

All classes receive their artifact through completing the introductory quest chain. In this case, you will need to use the unique abilities of your specialization.

For example, Survival hunters will actively use traps, and Assassination robbers will move around Stormwind in Stealth mode.

At the end of the missions, you gain access to the class stronghold, and also learn how to operate the artifact and the command table for missions in the stronghold.

Obtaining the second, third, fourth artifact

Upon reaching level 102, your character will be able to obtain artifacts for all specs of your class. For most, this is 3 artifacts, for Demon Hunters - 2, for Druids - 4.

To get the second artifact, you need to return to the class stronghold and take on the quest to select an artifact. The game will then prompt you to complete a quest chain for that weapon.

After receiving the second artifact, a chain for obtaining the third (and then, for druids, the fourth) will become available.

Video of the chains for obtaining the artifact can be viewed at Youtube.

Note:

• The chain for each artifact was created taking into account specialization: healers will need to heal the group, tanks will need to take on monsters, and damage dealers will need to complete standard quests for collecting items / killing monsters.
• You can change your specialization along the chain. That is, you can make a chain for a healer in the DD spec if you kill all the enemies before they destroy your group. However, this will not be the easiest task.
• If you have multiple artifacts, they will be automatically equipped when you change specialization. You cannot equip an artifact that does not match your current specialization.
• Artifacts cannot be destroyed. Remember that each artifact received will always occupy one slot in your inventory.
• Obtaining all artifacts available for your class is rewarded with the achievement Impressive arsenal .

Artifact Knowledge

Artifact Knowledge serves to increase the Artifact Power you gain from items over time.

• Artifact knowledge becomes available at level 110. You will receive two tasks related to completing orders:
  • Hidden History - Recover 4 volumes of knowledge scattered across Azeroth.
  • Digging through books - complete a work order.
• Once both tasks are completed, you can continue completing orders to obtain Artifact Data, which increases your Artifact Knowledge level.
• At the start of the Legion It takes 5 days to complete one order for Artifact Data. However, the new addition will implement a special system that will count the number of days from the launch of the Legion, and based on this number, reduce the order completion time to 4 days, 3 days, and so on.
  • This system is designed for alts and those who will start playing long after the release date of Legion.
• Each order for Notes on Legion Artifacts will cost 500 Order Resources (read Where to get class Order Resources in Legion).

1.1. Main color: available by default.

1.2 Color #2: Bring back one of the Pillars of Creation.

Color #4: Complete the achievement This side up . The only coloring of artifacts associated with Archeology. To obtain it, you need to collect 8 rare archaeological projects in the Legion. Please note: Rare finds in Legion are obtained differently than in other expansions. Every two weeks, the Archeology trainer (Dariness the Competent) will have a task, for which you will be offered a rare project as a reward. To complete quests with the Archeology teacher, you need level 110. 3. Valiant appearance Achievement for all 4 appearance options: Fight in Style: Valiant Look . 3.1. Main Color: Complete the Balance of Power quest chain. This is a fairly long chain that starts in your class hall at level 110 and has many stages. Among other things, you will need to bring 30 pieces of Blood of Sargeras (read How to get Blood of Sargeras in WOW), complete several heroic dungeons and obtain items from the Emerald Nightmare raid. 3.2.

You can use your own key or someone else's. 3.4 Color #4: Complete the achievement Glory to the Hero of the Legion . This meta achievement requires completing 26 achievements in 10 Legion dungeons on Mythic difficulty. The achievement is common to the account, and so is this appearance for the artifact. 4. Seasoned look 5.2. Color #2: Complete 100 dungeons using a hidden artifact appearance option. 5.3. Color #3: Complete 200 local quests with a hidden appearance on the artifact. 5.4. Color #4: Kill 1000 enemy players using a hidden artifact appearance. 6. Sixth appearance (one of the Legion patches) Nothing is known yet about how to obtain the sixth appearance option for Legion artifacts. Information will appear closer to one of the next patches (7.1, 7.2, etc.) All options for the appearance of artifacts for each class and specialization can be found in the artifact calculator on Wowhead (in the “Appearance” tab). Artifact of the Death Knight of the “Unholy” branch: Hidden effects of Legion artifacts Artifacts in Legion can have various hidden effects. Here's what one of the WOW Legion developers said about it: "When you're dealing with items as powerful as some of the artifacts players will receive in Legion, there's no telling what mysterious things might happen." There are several suggestions as to what could be the hidden effects of the artifacts in Legion: Hunter's Swiftness, Feral Druid: Ashhide's claws are filled with the blood of beasts, providing a 3% increase in movement speed. The effect dissipates when the druid enters combat. Valkyra's Gaze, Fury Var: If the warrior kills an enemy within 8 seconds of the effect triggering, he will recover 50% of his health. Ashbringer, Retro Paladin: There is a chance that the Ashbringer will instantly kill a small demon or undead near the character. Summon Eagles, Hunter: When a hunter's health drops below 40%, an eagle comes to his aid for 10 seconds; fires no more than once every three minutes. Some artifacts can talk to their owners (for example, Aluneth for the arcane mage or the Skull of Man'ari for the warlock), and will often whisper something during adventures around the world. Video of the hidden effect Valkyra's Gaze (furi var): Cosmetic effects There are also some cosmetic effects associated with artifacts in the game: Paladins can see demons in Dalaran using Revealing Light. Air elementals in Stormheim are friendly to Elemental shamans. Some classes have a special animation for the Away status (Frost DK, Druids, and Healing Shamans). Some NPCs react to a character with an artifact. For example, the elven blacksmith in Dalaran admires Felo'Melorn (an artifact of the fire mages). Artifacts FAQ This section of the artifact guide contains the most FAQ about the main weapon of the Legion. 1. How much space does the artifact take up in your bag? Two-handed artifacts obviously occupy one slot. But, interestingly, double artifacts (for example, Fist+Shield) also only take up one space in the bag. Agree, this is a nice space saver, especially if you collect artifacts for several specializations. 2. How does transmog work with artifacts? You can transmogrify an artifact into another weapon, but you cannot transfer the appearance of the artifact to another weapon. You can use different transmogrifications for different parts of the artifact (for example, right-handed and left-handed daggers). 3. Can you change talents, relics or the appearance of an artifact anywhere? Relics can be inserted into weapons anywhere. To change your appearance and activate new talents (ranks), you need to be near a special forge in your class stronghold. To redistribute talents on an artifact, you need to talk to the NPC who stands next to the forge in the class stronghold. 4. What should I do if I chose the wrong artifact, sold my old weapon and want to level up to level 102 in a different spec? The quartermaster of your class stronghold sells level 740 weapons, off-hand weapons, and shields for 100 gold. You can purchase them as a replacement for an artifact until you reach level 102. 5. Is it possible to destroy an artifact in WoW? After completing the quest chain and receiving the artifact, you will not be able to destroy it or sell it to a merchant. 6. How can I see the leveling of artifact talents from other players? In the standard World of Warcraft interface, you cannot see the layout of artifact talents for other characters, but you can see the level of the item. 7. Will it be possible to use the acquired artifact appearances for transmog after Legion? Most likely, yes - all variants of the appearance of artifacts can be transmogrified after Legion (in the next expansion). In this case, it is implied that the skins can be unlocked during Legion, but after the expansion they will not be obtainable. This also applies to new forms of the druid (the appearance of the Cat and the Bear changes from the artifact). 8. Can artifacts be used in PvP? Artifacts and their effects can be used in all PvP situations: arenas, battlegrounds, open world. 9. Will Artifact Knowledge be account-wide? No, Artifact Knowledge will not be account bound. This system allows you to get artifacts faster for alternate specializations, but not for alternate characters. 10. How long will it take to max out the first artifact? It will take several months to level up all 34 ranks of artifact talents in the WWII Legion. The developers did not provide a more precise figure. We can't wait to hear your opinion on the introduction of weapons such as artifacts in the Legion - we look forward to your feedback in the comments!

Artifacts are wearable items that directly affect the course of the game. In addition to the many benefits that come with wearing artifacts, you can also change their appearance.

Fearless fighters

Warriors can choose one of three specializations: Weapons, Fury, and Defense. The uniqueness of each of them is reflected in the choice of artifact weapons.

• Weapon Warriors are calculating fighters, ready to deliver the killing blow only when the moment is right. No wonder they're attracted to Stromcar, Peacemaker, one of the best two-handed swords in the world.
• Those who choose the Fury specialization find delight in unbridled, bloody combat. Valarjar War Swords perfectly suited for brutal bloodshed.
• Better protection warriors of the "Defense" specialization will be provided Shell of the Guardian of the Earth. With this shield, the hero will literally become an impenetrable wall.

Each artifact is the embodiment of the power of the warrior who owns it. There is power hidden in names - remember them, because this is legendary weapon will become your faithful assistant in the battle with an enemy more dangerous than which you have never met.

Weapons - Stromcar, Peacemaker

This sword belonged to the leader of the barbarians, who for the first time united disparate tribes under one banner, founding the state of Arathor. A talented strategist and tactician, King Thoradin later became famous for putting an end to the troll wars. Later, his sword disappeared during an attempt to subdue the monster K'Traxi in a tomb near Tirisfal. Lost but not forgotten, Stromkar absorbed dark energy for millennia.

Fury - Valarjar Warswords

Long ago, the guardian Odin betrayed the sorceress Helya, killed her and turned her into a ghostly val'kira. He forged a pair of swords for the strongest of the storm warriors, the Valjar, but Helya stole the swords and endowed them with her rage. She handed the artifact to her knight, who killed the great heroes and doomed their souls to eternal service in Helheim.The battle swords of the Valarjar carry the owner into the thick of battle, and their powerful blows easily penetrate the defense, leaving the enemy no chance to respond.

Protection - Shell of the Guardian of the Earth

An impenetrable shield crafted from the scales of the black dragon Aspect Neltharion, Guardian of the Earth, before he succumbed to the corruption of the ancient gods. The shield served the outstanding Vrykul king Magnar, granting him one victory after another in spite of any circumstances. The king fell in battle only thanks to the betrayal of the minions of the Val'kyra Helya. Now the Shell of the Guardian of the Earth rests along with Magnar's body under the Royal Road in Stormheim.
