Artifact tree is buggy - relics seem to allow you to leapfrog artifacts, and as of last build I don't seem to require putting 3 ranks in again.
I'm not sure if leapfrogging will be allowed or disabled by live, though.
I got mine at 110, but that was solely because of the above skipping. If you don't go out of your way to get AP and just quest level htere's a good chance you won't as current. A bit of effort on the side would get you there.I also think that Blizz mentioned somewhere, that you should have your first golden trait by lvl 110. Think it was blizzcon.
I feel ap gain could be gained during leveling in such a way that players will very likely get to one of them very near the time 110 is reached. That's coming from the feeling of wanting to feel a bit more powerful after that last ding.
Like if the ap multiplier was low until the point where that first golden trait is earned, then the ap multiplier spikes to the values we see now.
Will probably take months for most people, As you said you play it for a living for someone with a 9-5 job (Like me) i don't get back into my house until 5:45 and raids are normally start at 6:30 so i have that ltitle time to go do Dungeons. Possibly some world missions and any rares. Although i am glad it will take me months, I don't feel like something that is one of the major points in legion would be over in a couple weeks and i may even need to level 2 other dps artifacts in case next tier the spec is better damage wise so will take alot of farming and even longer to max out 3 dps specs.
I think the rate we were getting AP on alpha before the nerf was pretty decent and I can say that if you play average 4/5 hours a day you could be done pretty fast maybe 1/2 weeks. Not a fan of the AP we get now feels like it takes forever and I would like to be done on a couple of chars by the time Nighthold releases.
Seen a few contrasting posts. Is there a weekly cap on obtaining AP? If so is it one of the ridiculous ones where you can max it out in 3 hours of gameplay?
Well it's personal preference.. I like to play with my char at full power. I remember them saying you will be able to fully unlock it in 1/2 months maybe before that if you play a lot. The appearances and relics will take more time to earn.
No it was an interview to some blizz developer. I haven't watched any alpha stream tbh since I have alpha aswell.
We'll see when things are final I think they are testing now.
OMG, Blizzard I love you for this, let it take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG LONG TIME TO UNLOCK artifact, so that we can chill and stay cosy with our main, there is no hurry only pleasure in taking our time to enjoy the WORLD of Warcraft.
GG BLIZZARD ^^
PS: to the few people who want to be done in 2 weeks, you have been crying for content forever, now you will get it and you cry since the content takes to much time... Shush you Spoiled CHILD :P
