Blizzard increases the rewards for Azerite power in World of Warcraft. This should especially benefit newcomers and twinks.
A new version of Patch 8.2 has been on the PTR of World of Warcraft since yesterday. We have already shown you the new cutscenes, but there were also some interesting detail changes. For example, the amount of artifact power gained from certain missions has been drastically increased. This is important, as in Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara, the Heart of Azeroth plays an even bigger role.
These missions provide more artifact power: There are a total of two types of quests that will give significantly more artifact power. These are the weekly quest of the island expeditions and the emissary quests of the various factions, which occasionally offer artifact power.
- The weekly reward for island expeditions increases from 2,500 artifact power to 3,500 artifact power.
- The Azerite reward from the emissary quest increases from 1,500 artifact power to 3,000 artifact power.

Who benefits from the increase? This increase in rewards is likely to help not only players who want to maximize their Heart of Azeroth as soon as possible, but also newcomers or second characters. Both types of missions are associated with relatively little time investment (each under an hour) and offer a lot of artifact power in return. This way, even fresh characters can quickly reach level 50 and higher and utilize the new essences of the Heart of Azeroth.
Heart of Azeroth gets a new system: It is important to know in this context that farming artifact power to unlock Azerite traits on equipment will no longer be necessary with Patch 8.2. The Heart of Azeroth can still reach new levels and become stronger, but this only unlocks the new essences and bonuses. The traits of Azerite gear can be unlocked directly, as the requirements will be low.
Please keep in mind that the information is from the PTR and may change before the patch is released.
Do you have twinks that you will equip with artifact power? Or are you just waiting for the artifact power system to completely disappear?
