Legion Remix Brings Back Artifact Weapons — And They’ve Changed

Staff's Avatar by Staff

In Blizzard’s latest Building Azeroth video, we see how the team designed K’aresh, but we’ve also received an unexpected bit about the upcoming Legion Remix!

Legion Remix is bringing back Artifact weapons and the latest video briefly shows how Artifact upgrading will work!

What Does Reshii Wraps Have to Do With Legion Remix

In the video, Blizzard explained how Legion Remix’s reimplementation of Artifact weapons influenced the design of Reshii Wraps. As you probably know, the effects change with your role, and they’ve used Legion Remix tech for the cloak.

“And it is thanks to Legion Remix and their reimplementation of the Artifact Weapons that we were able to use a lot of that tech on the Reshii Wraps, because they needed some special edge cases that were really handy and really, really applied to what we were doing here. I think this is a very different approach to progressions that we’ve normally had.”

How Does Artifact Weapon Upgrading Work in Legion Remix?

We saw a couple of nodes on the Demon Hunter’s Twinblades of the Deceiver iconTwinblades of the Deceiver Artifact weapon. You’re going to be farming a currency and use it to upgrade your weapon, similar to how we farmed Artifact Power.

The video unveiled the following nodes:

  • Remix Time – Unlocks the ability to collect Infinite Power to upgrade your artifact weapon and grants Remix Time.
    • Remix Time: Raise your artifact and open a rift in you timeline, causing your cooldowns to recover 1,000 faster for 3 seconds.
  • Powerful Arcanocrystal Shard – Increases Agility by 5%.
  • Fortified Arcanocrystal Shard – Increases Stamina by 5%.
  • Masterful Arcanocrystal Shard – Increases Mastery by 3%.
  • Nostwin’s Impatience – While out of combat and moving, gain Timerunning every 1.5 seconds, increasing your non-flying speed by 4%. this effect stacks up to 50 times.

There seem to be 3 shard nodes in between the major nodes on the Legion Remix Artifacts!

It’s definitely refreshing to finally see a bit of Legion Remix news!
