We will tell you how to get the hidden artifact weapon skins of the warrior in World of Warcraft.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, artifact weapons not only have a variety of designs but also a few hidden skins – each specialization has its own. We will tell you where to find the special skins for the three specs of the warrior.
Weapons – Arcanite Reaper
Warriors with the arms specialization must speak with Master Blacksmith Helgar in their order hall. Sooner or later, he will have a dialogue option, after which a quest begins. This requires you to travel to Dalaran and find Highlord Saurfang and speak with him. After that, return to the order hall and speak with Helgar again. Then a duel against Saurfang begins. If you emerge victorious, you can afterwards receive the new artifact weapon skin from Helgar.
Obtaining this weapon is currently only possible on the American servers. A hotfix is on the way.
Fury – Slicer of the Dragon Slayer
Fury warriors must prepare for a pretty long quest, because to obtain the alternative skin, a total of 3 items must be found, which sometimes only drop from world bosses. The first item is the “Grip of the God-King,” which drops from God-King Skovald in the Halls of Valor. The other two items are difficult to obtain: the Skull of Shar’tos and the Skull of Nithogg drop from the respective world bosses. Since there is only one of these world bosses each week (and Nithogg has already been present), this can still take a while for newcomers.
Once all 3 items are combined, you will receive the alternative appearance of the weapon.
Protection – Last Breath of the Worldbreaker
Protection warriors can approach the matter relatively relaxed. They first need an artifact knowledge level of 5 and have then a daily chance to obtain their hidden design. First, the legend on the stone tablet in the order hall must be read (behind the guy who upgrades the hall). Then make sure you are specced into defense and jump to Thunder Totem.
Afterwards, visit Neltharion’s Chamber (not the instance). Upon entering, you may read an emote that speaks of a “strange roar” in the cave. If that is the case, search the entire cave (near the piles of gold) for the alternative skin.
If you cannot read an emote, try again another day; there is a daily chance for it.
