Research on artifact knowledge is now significantly faster with Patch 7.2.5 in WoW. However, not everyone finds it so great…
Patch 7.2.5 of World of Warcraft is full of changes. Most of them are listed in the patch notes, but some new features are currently being rolled out via hotfixes to improve gameplay comfort – such as these changes to artifact knowledge.
Researching new levels of artifact knowledge in World of Warcraft usually takes several days per level. Those who have been playing diligently over the past few weeks and renewed their research every few days have now reached level 40 and equipped their twinks with it.
Blizzard seems to want to better accommodate potential returnees who turned their backs on Legion a while ago, which is why a hotfix is currently being implemented.
Patch 7.2.5 in WoW reduces artifact knowledge research time
The research time for artifact knowledge levels between 26 and 40 is drastically reduced. Whereas researching a previous level took 3 to 4 days, it is now reduced to a mere 4 hours!
In the official forums and on Reddit, this change is met with mixed opinions. Many players are happy that they can now catch up quickly and rejoin the game. Other players feel “screwed over,” wondering why they played regularly for the last two months when the entire research can now be completed in just under 3 days.
However, the costs for research – 500 Order resources each time – are not reduced. Order resources can only be obtained through world quests and exchanging Blood of Sargeras, so it still doesn’t come easily.
What do you think of the change? A good thing for returnees or are you angry? Or do you not understand the displeasure at all because no one had anything taken away?
