What is the Purpose of this Guide?
In this guide I will go over the steps to fully gear up and prepare a character for the
Mage Tower's Artifact Challenge
as quickly as possible.
Did you know you can fully gear up a fresh level 110 character and get it ready for the mage tower in less than a week?
The best part of it is you can get your character ready with little or no
organized
group content, so this can be a fun thing to do completely solo while you are waiting for raid lockouts to reset, or while you wait for your arena team or Mythic+ squad to log on!
Why would I want to do the Artifact Challenges?
One of the things many players are finding themselves doing while they wait for Battle For Azeroth is to obtain some (or all!) of the Mage Tower's Artifact Appearances for their alternate characters. Blizzard has announced that
these Artifact Appearances will be
unobtainable
come Battle For Azeroth
, so many completionist players are looking to obtain as many appearances as possible before they're gone for good!
These challenges can be fun, long-term goals to set for your alts. Who knows you may even enjoy the class or classes you play and want to pursue them further! People also further challenge themselves with attempting their Artifact Challenges with their Allied Race characters that were recently leveled up!
This guide is also a great place to start for new or returning players to get caught up as quickly as possible
.
However, the end goal of this guide is getting ready for the Artifact Challenge. If you intend on seriously playing a class, you may want to do some of the content I recommend skipping or focusing all of your efforts on getting the appropriate legendaries for that specialization. But if you follow this guide, you should be able to get a character to around item level 930 in no time!
Hitting level 110 in Legion can be one of the most daunting things, as a lot of content unlocks the moment you hit 110 and you have no idea where to begin. You have
苏拉玛
, the
破碎海滩
, Argus, Mythic+, LFR, World Quests and an entire Class Order Hall campaign! Luckily for us, a lot of this content can be skipped for the purposes of rushing to the Artifact Challenge. A lot of these skipped contents have a lot of story and lore behind them, and they're a lot of fun, but are not really necessary if you just want to complete your Artifact Challenge.
Upgrading your artifact instantly!
As of a recent update you can complete the Antorus Epilogue quests that take place in silithus to "Corrupt" your artifact instantly unlocking all of your traits (and more!) make sure you follow the quest chain beginning with
奥格瑞玛的召唤
or
暴风城的召唤
depending on your faction! For more information check out the wowhead guide
Here
Take advantage of this while you can as with the pre-patch your artifact will lose its powers!
World Quests
The first thing you want to do after hitting 110 is to unlock World Quests. If this is your first time hitting 110, you need to talk to
大法师卡德加
in
达拉然
and accept the quest
联合势力
, which requires you to obtain a Friendly reputation with all the Legion factions. Those are the
法罗迪斯宫廷
,
织梦者
,
高岭部族
,
瓦拉加尔
and
堕夜精灵
. For more information on World Quests, check out our
World Quest Guide
.
If you already completed the quest on a character before, you will receive a different version of
联合势力
. You will receive this version as soon as you hit 110, and all you will need to do is go to Khadgar and turn this quest in to unlock World Quests.
Make sure to do whichever Emissary will expire first, at least. Emissaries are a great way to build your Bad Luck Protection and earn your legendaries. A fresh 110 will have an increased drop chance for their first 2 legendaries on each specialization. Overall, legendaries aren't as big as they used to be for the Artifact Challenges, so you don't need to stress too much about which legendary you get first.
Order Hall Research and Emissaries
After unlocking World Quests, you will want to make sure you have begun progressing your
Order Hall Research
. This includes a short quest chain that involves sending out your followers and unlock your Order Hall researcher. You need to do this in order to be able to equip 2 legendaries, and it does take a few days to complete. However, once your Researcher is unlocked, research continues on even while you're offline, as long as you send them out!
After starting the Order Hall Research progression, make sure you don't miss out on any emissaries. If you do have a main character that has done quests in Argus before, you can mail any Unsullied gear pieces you might have to help your alt out, although this is not mandatory. You will also want to go out and do a few World Quests that reward Artifact Power. Your fresh 110 will have his Artifact Knowledge maxed out, which means you will only need a few World Quests to fill out your Artifact Weapon enough to reach
抗魔联军的调和
. If you're planning on doing multiple Artifact Challenges on that character, choose a specialization to focus on first. You will be very undergeared for a bit, but it will get easier the more gear you get. Another tip for this step is, if your character has access to a tanking specialization, you might want to focus on that specialization first as tank specs have an easier time soloing World Quests while undergeared.
Argus: The Last Frontier
The fastest way to gear your character to an acceptable level to start attempting Artifact Challenges is going to Argus. However, to get to Argus, you first need to unlock the
破碎海滩
.
To unlock the Broken Shore, you need to head to Krasus' Landing in Dalaran and talk to Khadgar to begin the quest
抗魔联军
. This quest will begin a short scenario, involving a direct assault on the Broken Shore itself. If you already did this scenario on at least one character before, you will have access to a dialogue option that allows you to skip the scenario entirely.
This step is required to be able to travel to Argus
.
After unlocking the Broken Shore, you should be able to start the quest
The Hand of Fate
/
The Hand of Fate
, which starts the quest chain to unlock Argus.
Navigating Argus
This is where things will start getting hard. Argus is the homeworld of the Legion, a harsh environment that can be very difficult to a new or undergeared player. Mobs will be challenging, and Elites will be straight dangerous, so tread carefully!
If you haven't done Argus before, you will want to progress through the Argus Campaign, to the point where Invasion Points are unlocked. Invasion Points are an incredible source of Artifact Power and
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
, which can be used to buy ilvl 910 gear. Invasion points also count towards your Bad Luck Protection, which means it's even easier to get legendaries! For more information on the Argus Campaign, you can check out our
Comprehensive Argus Guide
. This should roughly take 1 to 2 hours to do.
Once you have done this, you will want to do as many Argus World Quests as possible. Remember to select the
召唤光铸战争机甲
on your Vindicaar, as this summons a powerful Warframe that can easily solo elite mobs. Another recommendation is to use the Group Finder tool, or an addon like
World Quest Group Finder
to complete World Quests faster. If you don't want to install an addon, you can just right-click on the World Quests and select Find Group. This places you in a group of players doing the same World Quests, speeding things up, and being specially useful if you're undergeared.
You also want to clear up every Invasion Point available. You can have up to 3 Invasion Points up, 1 per Argus zone and new Invasion Points will spawn every 2 hours if you've cleared that zone. You do want to do as many Invasion Points as you can. If you have the time, check them out multiple times a day, and make sure the Argus maps are cleared of World Quests. Pay special attention to World Quests that reward Relics. You can get relics for any of your 3 specializations, so it is a nice way of filling up your weapon's relics.
After you're sure your map is clear, continue the remainder of the Argus Campaign. Doing the complete campaign should reward you with around 1,500
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
, enough to buy 2 pieces of
Relinquished Gear
.
Gearing Up
For this part of the guide, I will be covering ways to quickly gear your prospective character for Artifact Challenges.
I can't hold all of this Veiled Argunite and Artifact Power!
So you are probably wondering, what do I do with all of this Veiled Argunite and Artifact Power? Argus is a dangerous place, but it sure is rewarding! You will want to spend all of your Artifact Power in whichever weapon you chose to focus on first and have the most Relics for. You do want your weapon at least 66-69 traits to unlock all Tier 2 traits on the Netherlight Crucible. At that point, your Artifact should be ready for the Artifact Challenges.
Be sure to check out our
Netherlight Crucible Overview
, if you're unfamiliar with the Netherlight Crucible. In it, you will find links to each class and specialization, and how to spend your Crucible traits according to your chosen specialization. If you're planning on doing multiple Artifact Challenge appearances, or just plan on playing more than one specialization, hold onto excess Artifact Power after rank 69 to spend on your other Artifacts.
Your
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
should be spent on upgrading your weakest pieces of gear. Try to focus on whatever specialization you want to do the challenge for if you are playing a hybrid class. If you plan on doing multiple Artifact Challenges on a hybrid class, focus on upgrading the pieces of gear that you will use for all three specializations first, avoiding Trinkets and Relics. Your goal is to get your item level to a point where you can queue for
安托鲁斯,燃烧王座
LFR as quickly as possible. You will need item level 890 for that. So always upgrade your lowest item level pieces, for now, completely ignoring secondary stats or any breakpoints that may be applicable to your class.
Relics
Argus World Quests will give you plenty of Relics, however, some relic types spawn can spawn much less frequently. If you are having a hard time finding a specific relic type, go ahead and use your
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
to buy a
Relinquished Relic
to fill out your weapon. Upgrading your 890+ Relics should be one of the last things you do with your
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
, particularly if you are doing multiple weapons on that character. Most of the time you will end up having several warforge/titanforges just from World Quests on argus as so many Relic quests seem to spawn. Even if you don't get good titanforges on relics, 895 relics are often enough for Artifact Challenges.
Legendaries and How to Obtain Them
Legendaries have been a hot topic throughout Legion. Luckily if your only goal is to do the Mage Tower Challenges, what legendaries you get often aren't as important as, say, in Raiding or Mythic+. As such you will want to earn your first two Legendaries as quickly as possible. Remember to keep your Order Hall Research going so you can actually equip both of your legendaries when you get them. If you have enough gold, you can buy one of the
Crafted Legendaries
from the Auction House.
Regardless of whether or not you did that, you should be able to obtain your first two legendaries rather quick. All of them will help out tremendously because each of them are already at item level 1000. Continue doing your daily Emissaries and as many Invasion Points as possible. You also want to start collecting
觉醒精华
. You can turn in 1000 of them to
奥法工匠维迪尔
for a random Legendary for your Specialization. This does not reset your Bad Luck Protection, however, if you are doing multiple Mage Towers, you will want legendaries for multiple Specializations, so you may want to wait until your second one drops naturally, then switch specs and use the token as Bad Luck Protection is tied to your specific specialization.
Depending on the Mage Tower cycle, you should be able to complete twice on LFR which will give you roughly 600
觉醒精华
. This combined with your Emissaries and the occasional Daily Heroic, if you choose to do so, means you can easily obtain 1000
觉醒精华
for one extra legendary.
Assuming you have completed the Argus Campaign you should have this quest
安托鲁斯,燃烧王座:泰坦陨落
. This requires you to simply kill
寂灭者阿古斯
and can be done on LFR difficulty. This will give you a legendary item
大军之印
. It's not the best legendary item for any specialization or challenge, but it's a solid legendary and can be used for
any specialization
, so it works great if you're planning on running multiple Artifact Challenges.
Believe it or not, don't stress out much about these legendaries. I have done every single Artifact Challenge and on many of them, I used legendaries that either were for the wrong spec or the guaranteed ring from the Argus quest. The simple fact that they're ilvl 1000 makes them incredibly powerful by themselves.
For more information on Legendaries in general, or if you're unfamiliar with the Legion Legendary system, check out our
Legendary Guide
,
Antorus The Burning Throne/World Bosses
Every week there will be a Greater Invasion active. A Greater Invasion houses a World Boss that can drop 930 gear, which is more than likely to be an upgrade to your fresh 110. If you don't plan on running Normal or Heroic Antorus, you can use a
破碎命运印记
for the chance at another piece of gear.
安托鲁斯,燃烧王座
is without a doubt worth doing. If you can find a group for Normal or Heroic, feel free to do so. It isn't required to meet the item level requirements to do the Artifact Challenges, thus not being covered on this guide, but it will drop higher item level loot and make your life easier, but at a low item level, it can be really hard to find a group willing to take you in.
Assuming you don't do Antorus on Normal/Heroic, doing it on LFR should be fine. The gear it drops will start at item level 915+ and some of the trinkets/set bonuses can be immensely helpful. That being said if you only do it once or twice, you will likely not be able to collect a full set of gear. But it is worth doing for the chance, and if not for that at least the
觉醒精华
or to complete the
安托鲁斯,燃烧王座:泰坦陨落
quest. Use your remaining
破碎命运印记
on bosses that drop really good trinkets such as
苛性催化剂注射器
or
影灼之牙
. If you are happy with your trinkets already or have plenty of bonus rolls left, you should bonus roll for tier pieces that are also Item Level upgrades. If you happen to get your 2pc or even 4pc set, that will help tremendously with all of the challenges.
Unlocking Additional Artifacts/Empowering them
You can do this part whenever you don't have anything urgent to do to upgrade your character. You should return to your Order Hall and do the scenario to unlock any (or all) of your remaining artifact weapons that you wish to obtain/pursue. Afterward, you will need to complete your Artifact Empowerment questline to do the actual Artifact Challenge. These are brief quests that introduce the antagonists you will face in your respective scenario. In order to do this, go to the Broken Shore and begin the quest
破碎海滩:调查军团
. This will lead you towards all three Empowerment questlines
and must be done before obtaining access to the Mage Tower
.
A few days later...
After a couple of days of doing your daily quests in Argus, a weekly reset for more Veiled Argunite from the weekly quests and one or two full LFR clears, your character should look something like this. In the Screenshot below I show my Mage before he did his three Artifact Challenges, and its gear is mostly Relinquished pieces with a couple of lucky titanforges. The only unexpected piece is the belt that I got from doing a Mythic +15. This is not required by any means, but it certainly helps. Everything else is either from Antorus LFR, Relinquished pieces, or a World Boss.
Depending on your luck with Titanforging you can be slightly lower or higher, but if you are around 925-935 item level, you should be able to easily complete any of the Artifact Challenges. My /played at max level on this character is only 21 hours, so if you are efficient with your time, you can see it doesn't take long to get to a decent gear level for these challenges.
Weekly Bonus Events
Depending on the week there are some Bonus events that you may want to look out for, these can reward you decent gear for relatively little effort.
Timewalking Weeks:
These weeks are great for gearing up a character quickly if you are undergeared and want to power up a bit before you start exploring Argus. You can do a handful of these dungeons and get some massive upgrades early on. You will inevitably replace those pieces, but it can be great to jump-start your character. You should also try to do the weekly quest to do 5 Timewalking dungeons as it will give you an extra bonus roll which is nice, but more importantly a guaranteed 930 Antorus piece. The
安托兰宝物箱
you get from the weekly quest contains 1 piece that drops from Antorus (excluding tier), and might be one of those Antorus trinkets! You can also do the associated Raids on Burning Crusade and/or Wrath of the Lich King weeks. The gear from Ulduar particularly can be good but shouldn't be required.
Legion Dungeon Event:
This one is great, as the weekly quest will give you a guaranteed 945 (Heroic Antorus) piece which is incredibly good! You can run a few Mythic +0 dungeons for the weekly. The gear from those dungeons isn't as good as Relinquished gear, but it can give you a legendary if you are lucky enough. Alternatively, there are groups that just run
冥口峭壁
four times really quickly, and you can get this out of the way in around half an hour!
World Quest Week:
This one, unfortunately, isn't the greatest week, it is mostly about Reputation, which isn't that valuable. What's nice about though is that it gives you a hefty chunk of
职业大厅资源
from the weekly quest. Since you should already be doing a lot of World Quests, you may as well pick the weekly quest! It could help with your Legendary Research in your Order Hall.
Organized Group Content
Now, at the start of this guide, I mentioned you won't need to do any Organized Group Content. I meant it you don't
have
to! But if you have access to a group, it will help you out tremendously. What do I mean by Organized Group Content? I mean anything you need an organized group to complete, this means Normal Antorus, Heroic Antorus, Mythic+ or Rated PvP.
If you have the ability to do these forms of content, I strongly recommend you to do it. If you have friends that are willing to carry you, or if they feel you will be pulling your weight, go for it. All of those forms of content will reward gear that is better than
黯淡的阿古尼特水晶
gear. Especially if you can manage to do a Mythic+15 and loot your weekly chest before the next Mage Tower spawns. This is a very easy way to get an awesome, 960+ piece of gear. On some characters, I had the excess gold and opted to buy a +15 carry, or I bribed my guildmates to carry me!
Tips and Tricks
At any point during this process, a Legion Invasion may begin on the Broken Shore. This is the best way to get a handful of
虚空碎片
, required to actually enter the Mage Tower scenarios. I recommend doing these as they pop. Do all 6 World Quests, then the Scenario at the end. This will give you more than enough
虚空碎片
for your attempts. Invasions spawn every 18 hours, and you can check the front page of Wowhead to check out when an invasion comes up! If you happen to run out, you can wait for another Invasion, or pick up chests on the
破碎海滩
The key thing to remember is to prioritize things that will expire soon, this usually means Emissaries or Invasion Points.
Try to plan out your weekly resets. On Tuesday you get a fresh batch of weekly quests for Veiled Argunite, a LFR reset and a Mythic+ cache if applicable. Make sure you take advantage of these activities as much as possible before you begin your attempts.
The Mage Tower stays active for 3 days and usually takes about 4 or so days to come back after it ends. If it spawns on a Monday, you may want to wait for Tuesday/Wednesday reset before doing your attempts!
If you are struggling with a particular challenge, feel free to take a break! Some of them can be incredibly difficult and frustrating. You can also give yourself another week to gear up some more before going back in, if you feel it's necessary.
If you are worried about a particular challenge for a particular spec, try to play that spec to familiarize yourself with it, even if it isn't "the best DPS". Being comfortable with the classes rotation will help you out tremendously.
Prioritization is the key! If you only have a short amount of time to play, think about what will help you prepare your character the most and do that activity.
You can look at the guides here on Wowhead (and linked below) to see what the challenge will be like and the recommended talents. Play around with those talents so they aren't foreign to you when you get there.
Blizzard has mentioned that the additional Artifact tints for the Artifact Challenge Appearance will be obtainable after Battle for Azeroth. This means that once you earned the weapon, at any point after you can do the 10 Rated Battlegrounds, Kill heroic Kil'jaeden or do the required dungeons.

This is an awesome guide! I've thought about doing the Mage Tower on some alts, but it seems a daunting task. This guide certainly helps!

I've been burning through nethershards on a few characters. Maybe a section on how to efficiently earn more?
Great guide in any case!

Tegre
if I'm not mistaken, During timewalking weeks (specifically Burning Crusade and Wrath), isn't it possible to do one of the timewalking raids as well? And if so, can't you get 900 from Black Temple, and 930 from Ulduar?

"Invasions spawn every 18 hours"
I'm pretty sure it's every 12 hours.

Roughly speaking. How much time played does it take to get a fresh 110 geared enough to try the mage tower?

" If you already did this scenario on at least one character before, you will have access to a dialogue option that allows you to skip the scenario entirely."
Wish they had this when I was getting class mounts of everyone XD
"you should be able to easily complete any of the Artifact Challenges."
I dunno about "easy", I had a 934 kitty who couldn't drop her challenge if you didn't know kitty (which I and no one I know does). Best anyone could do was 15%...granted, I'm not a hardcore player or anything.

Awesome guide! Should toss in a quick bit about going to Silithus to get your weapon to Artifact Level 130+, that's a crazy boost in power too!
