In WoW, with Patch 7.2, new designs for artifact weapons are coming soon. However, obtaining them won’t be that easy.
The artifact weapons are at the center of character development in World of Warcraft: Legion. Sure, there are still traditional loot and equipment items, but they pale in comparison to the sheer power of a well-equipped artifact weapon. As a downside, this means that all players of a specialization will run around with the same weapon.
To compensate for this, Blizzard has designed numerous alternative skins for the artifact weapons. With Patch 7.2, each weapon will receive another variant with a total of 4 different colors.
The Challenge Version of Artifact Weapons
- 1. Color: The base variant of the new skin is available through a weapon-specific challenge. This is a tricky quest that presents players with a few challenging tasks and is reminiscent of the “old” quest lines from Curse/ Blessing (Priest) or Lok’delar and Rhok’delar (Hunter). The exact quest lines are not yet available on the PTR, and they may not even be testable before the patch’s release.
- 2. Color: Defeat Kil’Jaeden on heroic while wearing the challenge version of the weapon (Color 1).
- 3. Color: Win 10 rated battlegrounds while wearing the challenge version of the weapon (Color 1).
- 4. Color: Defeat all dungeon bosses from Legion while wearing the challenge version of the weapon (Color 1).
Talented players who seek out all types of content should acquire the new skins in a relatively short time. However, it is also possible that the various challenges are relatively hidden and, similar to the “Hidden Skins”, must be discovered in the game world.
