In addition to the 36 spec variations, there are also a wide variety of skin and color alternatives – 170 in total. If you have 50 minutes to spare, you can see all of the different styles and colors in this video produced by Bellular Gaming. We’ll be posting a variant image for each of the weapons (Death Knight, Demon Hunter and Druid for this guide) and in subsequent guides featuring the rest of the classes.
The acquisition of each of these weapons takes place early on in Legion, requiring a level 100 quest that appears not long you arrive in the zone. They are automatic, so you don’t need to go looking for them. Each artifact weapon will require a different quest for the player to acquire it – which will be determined in a quest that asks which weapon/spec they’d like to have.
Be aware that with some artifact weapons; once you have begun the quest to acquire them, you will need to complete it before logging off, as they take place in instances. If you make the mistake of logging out in the middle of the quest, you’ll be booted from the instance and unable to return to it.
Below you will find everything you need to know about the artifact weapons for the first three classes. Guides for the other classes will follow shortly and include:
Druid and Hunter Mage, Monk, and Priest Paladin Rogue, Shaman, and Warlock Warrior and Other artifacts
