wow Artifact Power and Artifact Knowledge in Patch 8.2

[Stan 5,240]

The amount of Artifact Power needed to level up your Heart of Azeroth is increasing in Patch 8.2, but Artifact Knowledge will be more powerful.

Heart of Azeroth progression is shifting to a different system similar to Legion Artifacts and you will be collecting Artifact Power to level it up in Rise of Azshara. Blizzard increased the amount of Artifact Power needed to level up your Heart of Azeroth, but increased Artifact Power catchup to offset the change in Patch 8.2.

The biggest spike is going to occur in the ~50-60 HoA level range.

Instead of stopping at 65 I see we are going to Lv.70

I've only seen 70 mentioned anywhere in the PTR too, what made you think 65?

 

From week 11, it'll look like the below at best guess. Which isn't bad with the increase to AP gain

From vids and slight mentions of the HoA going to 65 on Icyveins and on Youtube also along the lines of something similar to Concordance like in Legion.  But it was still unknown and the subject was only touched slightly from Blizzard directly during the first several months after the release of BFA.  Instead of just another 15 levels to grind for AP I now know I will be working more on 20 on the Main.  My alts I could care less.
