Curious about your class artifact weapons?

One of the more exciting things to be announced for the upcoming Legion expansion, at least for me, was the inclusion of artifact weapons — weapons of important stature due to lore that have now found their ways into players hands in some form or another.

In case you’ve been in the Emerald Dream for the past few days, World of Warcraft: Legion was just announced, and there are a ton of new things to talk about.

What are artifact weapons?

World of Warcraft has embraced Borrowed Power systems repeatedly since 2016's Legion expansion, to the point where both Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands have had multiple such systems within them.

In preparation for today's launch of Shadowlands, Blizzard got professional prop makers and cosplayers Hench and Scrap Foundry in Australia to make them some of the weapons that players will be collecting this expansion.

Remember when Legion was first announced, and we World of Warcraft players were first tantalized with the features that would end up dominating the expansion?

Well, maybe not every spec -- the language being used by Lead Game Designer Morgan Day is a bit more ambiguous than that -- but it's a definite shift away from where we are now, with each Artifact appearance locked to the spec that the original Artifact was for.

Well that was a little anti-climatic -- two world quests in Darkshore and my Kingslayers have officially been replaced.

There are weapons, and then there are weapons.
