Artifact Weapons are back in Legion Remix as the central power source for every Timerunner. These spec-specific weapons grow in strength as you progress through Legion content, fueled by Infinite Power instead of the old Artifact Power system. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to unlock your Artifact Weapons, how to upgrade them, and what has changed compared to Legion Retail.
What Are Legion Remix Artifact Weapons?
Legion Remix Artifact Weapons are unique spec-based weapons you obtain through a short questline at the start of the event. Unlike the original Legion version, they now share a streamlined talent tree, can be powered by Infinite Power, and scale all the way to Rank 999 with the Limits Unbound trait.
Key takeaways:
- Artifact Weapons are your main power source.
- You unlock them via an introductory questline in Dalaran.
- Infinite Power fuels talents instead of relics.
- Five Artifact Abilities offer different combat playstyles.
- Fragmented Mementos and Infinite Knowledge accelerate progression.
- Limits Unbound gives infinite scaling for true endgame power.
How to Get Your First Artifact Weapon
When you log into Legion Remix with your Timerunner, you’ll appear at Krasus’ Landing in Dalaran. Speak with Moratari to begin the Artifact Weapon questline.
This introduction sends you through multiple quests such as Time Crisis, Scavenger Hunting, and Storm the Citadel. Completing it rewards your first Artifact Weapon and opens the path to your Order Hall campaign.
📌 Pro Tip: Choose carefully. Unlocking a second Artifact for off-specs requires additional questing.
Once you finish the intro on your first character, your alts can skip it. Just talk to Moratari and select:
“Haven’t we done this before? <Skip this chapter and receive your artifact weapon.>”
You’ll instantly receive the weapon for your current spec and continue your Order Hall journey.
Legion Remix Artifact Appearances
In Legion Remix, Artifact appearances are limited to base looks only. The Artifact Forge is not available, meaning no new unlockable tints. Each spec’s base Artifact is usable, but cosmetics from the original Legion are locked out.
What Changed in Legion Remix?
Artifact Weapons in Legion Remix are streamlined to match the event’s faster pace:
- Unified Talent Tree – All 36 specs use the same structure.
- Five Artifact Abilities – Pick one major ability to customize gameplay.
- No Relics – Replaced by Artifactium Sand, which automatically upgrades item level.
- Shared Progression – Infinite Power applies to all Artifact Weapons, no need for multiple grinds.
This makes progression smoother and allows you to freely swap specs without penalty.
How to Upgrade Artifact Weapons
Infinite Power
Infinite Power replaces Artifact Power. You gain it passively from nearly every Legion Remix activity:
- Killing mobs and raid bosses
- Completing world quests, dungeons, raids
- Bronze Orbs and open-world events
- Chests and caches
- Collecting Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges
- The Infinite Power bar has no cap, meaning you can always grow stronger.
Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges
A new currency that supercharges Infinite Power gain. At Infinite Knowledge Rank 24, each turn-in of 100 Fragments gives a massive boost.
| Source | Fragments Dropped |
|---|---|
| Elite Mobs (Heroic World Tier) | 0–1 |
| Rare Mobs (Heroic World Tier) | 1 |
| World Boss | 1 |
| Normal Raid Boss | 4–8 |
| Heroic Raid Boss | 12–15 |
| Mythic Raid Boss | 25–30 |
| Mythic+ End Chest | 8–9 (+2) / 12–14 (+10) / 28–30 (+20) / 91–105 (+30) / 132–139 (+35) |
Infinite Knowledge
This account-wide system amplifies all Infinite Power gains. With 36 ranks total, each rank boosts how much Power you collect.
- Benefits all characters on your account.
- Once capped, excess Infinite Knowledge converts into Bronze.
- Earned through Legion Remix achievements.
This is one of the most important catch-up mechanics for alts.
Limits unbound
The final trait, unlocked after finishing your chosen Artifact Ability path.
- Costs 50,000 Infinite Power per rank.
- Provides scaling Primary Stat, Stamina, and Versatility.
- Increases Versatility by 1% per rank.
- Scales infinitely up to Rank 999.
This system ensures endless growth potential.
