Patch 7.3: Artifact Knowledge Changes

Recommended Posts

Ig5cGpj.jpg

In Patch 7.3, the Artifact Knowledge cap was increased back to level 50 and you no longer need to head back to your Order Hall for research.

Instead, you will automatically gain 1 AK level each week and all characters will start with Artifact Knowledge Level 41 when Patch 7.3 goes live. The focus in 7.3 shifts to the Netherlight Crucible and relic customization (Insignia of the Grand ArmyInsignia of the Grand Army).

The multipliers are the same as they were when AK Level 50 was introduced back in 7.2's Build 23657.

Artifact Knowledge Level Multiplier
41 5,200,000%
42 6,760,000%
43 8,790,000%
44 11,430,000%
45 14,860,000%
46 19,320,000%
47 25,120,000%
48 32,660,000%
49 42,460,000%
50 55,200,000%

If we can get to 50 now, is it possible we will see more traits? People might be able to get every rank of Concordance now.

I doubt that when there will be relic talents.

I'm not sure what's meant by "relic talents", it is confirmed that you can now "customize" relics at an object called the Netherlight Crucible, what this entails specifically is unknown but it is likely that you can simply alter what traits it buffs. There are "crafting" materials for the Crucible called "Essence of Shadow" and "Essence of Light", likely used to fuel these relic "customizations". There's even a Legendary ring introduced in 7.3 that will increase the amount of those Essences you get by 50%.

 

This is - as far as I know - all the information we have regarding this new Netherlight Crucible feature.

 

To debunk what Stan said, there's actually a string in the ptr data that says:

Quote

ARTIFACT_RELIC_TALENT_AVAILABLE

A new trait is available at the Netherlight Crucible.

Rank 50 is simply 10x the amount of AP as rank 40. The AP elite mission token would only give you 1.25 billion AP, rather then the current 125 million. You need 200 TRILLION AP to get THE last trait - Not the entirety of Concordance, but the last trait itself. Thus, the AP elite mission token gives you .01% of the AP you need towards the last trait of Concordance. The entirety of Concordance is, what was it, 800ish trillion?

 

I think the figures was that even with rank 50, you would need several years in order to reach 50/50 Concordance. 30/50 is a more realistic goal with AK 50 though.

I don't mean to be Mrs Misery but, as someone with a lot of alts who has had to change my playstyle to keep up with the content, doesn't this  (lvl 41 AP instantly) make all the previous effort meaningless? I'm wishing I had just got mine to lvl 110 and left them to be honest. 

Thank you for all the patch notes etc. Very, very useful.

I mean, the game has been out for a year. I don't think raising AK has been useless. This is the same as saying that you might as well level and never do any raids or dungeons, because you can wait 10-14 months and use the end of expansion catch-up mechanic with gear.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
