Artifact Retirement Quests Available
The Artifact Retirement quest is now live!
Go ahead and complete the quest, it currently doesn't deactivate your Artifact weapon, that is coming later.
Completing the quest grants Artifact Level 126 which puts you at 75 Concordance.
This just simply upon completion moves everyone to Concordance 75 and then next week another bump, and then another.
This affects all of your spec's artifacts.
Blizzard is working on a hotfix to allow you to vendor Artifact Power items.
When you log in, you are given the quest The Speaker's Call which has you travel to Silithus and talk to the flight master of your respective faction's hub in order to get a ride up to your faction's gunship. Magni is on board with a select number of influential Legion NPCs (based on your faction) who also have Artifact weapons.
Upon turn in, you will receive the quest The Power in Our Hands which requires you to speak to Magni to initiate a cutscene in which you and the other NPCs use your Artifact Weapons to drain the energy from Sargeras's sword and stabilize the wound.
Future Artifact Changes
Sometime around Battle for Azeroth launch, all traits and abilities attached to your Artifact Weapon will become disabled, including those from the Netherlight Crucible and your relics. Relics can still be slotted into the weapon, but all they do is increase the item level of the weapon.

Just some clarification on this one but yes there should be a quest called "The Speaker's Call" that should begin the Artifact Weapon Overcharge. You will need to complete the prerequisite Magni quests in order to receive "The Speaker's Call". When you complete this it should overcharge your artifact up to Artifact Level 126 which puts you at 75 Concordance. All of the existing traits will function until the pre patch.
Take advantage of the overcharge and go take on things like the Mage Tower, Ahead of the Curve: Argus, and The Chosen that are removed when the prepatch goes live soon™. Also don't forget the usual Mythic mount drop chances that will be lowered from their guaranteed 100% when Battle for Azeroth goes live!
If I'm higher than Artifact Level 126 and I do the quest, will I actually lose power?
It should only affect Artifacts that are below that value. So if you're above Concordance 75 it should keep you at that Concordance value. However you might notice it jump up in a week or two
This just simply upon completion moves everyone to Concordance 75 and then next week another bump, and then another. You get the picture.
TL;DR: Smash everything.
Thanks for making Cutting Edge a participation award, I guess..
I mean for those teams that are really close(we're talking consistent ~10% pulls) this will be a bump to help but largely won't be too noticeable. At that level your concordance should already be fairly close to this(if not higher). If not but you're struggling mechanically this won't make any difference.
I wouldn't call out Cutting Edge because if you're not already close to this it's still not easy to obtain. It's impressive don't get me wrong, but still not feasible for 99% of players.
Does it affect all specs or just one spec per toon?
All specs for that character upon completion of the quest.
it hits all specs, but it's so lack luster, they didnt even bother voicing over magni while he is talking to you in a cutscene, not even subtitles, just him mouthing nothing
There is an issue with his talking head and voice over not appearing and we should have a fix for that soonish. I'll update once I get confirmation that its functioning again.
Mage Tower Up Until Pre-Expansion Patch

Just giving some context to this! Yes it is officially up permanently until pre patch. Due to how the Broken Shore functions, the buildings will still be created and destroyed in the normal cycles however the NPC is now resistant to Legion Fel-Fire™ and will just permanently be standing there. Once pre patch hits though the appearances will be no longer obtainable so make sure you guys go get it while you have the chance!
So all artifacts will be lvl 126 with mage tower up all the time.
YEP! And they get stronger every week until pre patch! GO GET THEM APPEARANCES!
Looks like they're completely disconnected from their own game.
Current highest is 91, Wowprogress says.
126 is probably mathematically impossible...
Yeah.. I would have understood if they asked about 75 and mistaken that.. but the question was explicitly about 126, which just shows that the person who replied has no clue about their own game.
I don't get this quest "The Speaker's Call". Which quests do I have to do to get this one? hmm? This is so bad...
You have to have played the expansion.
Kill argus, get quest to visit Matthias Shaw in Stormwind (alliance version, filthy hordies figure it out for yourselves) from there to silithus chain of quests.
Well I uninstalled the game during Emerald Nightmare raid when I have realized this exp is all about AP grind and only for the lucky players who get the BIS lego as their first drop.

Then surely your advice is BS because you know nothing about gearing at this time. You can gear in 3 weeks, though admittedly it's not going to be easy.

If you actually read it, it says we will be 126 AP, which is equivalent to 75 concordance.
A little miffed they're giving everyone this massive stat buff and enabling mage tower 100%. I mean, yeah, the mage towers were pretty easy till now in Antorus level gear, but at least it required some effort. This is a pretty big buff and really makes the mage tower skins nothing more than an "I participated in the final 2 weeks of Legion" reward and not much more.
If they're going to do this why even bother removing them at all? The prestige for having these skins was already VERY low by now the amount of time they left them in, now it's near zero. Just seems pointless to remove them at all now.

1 week is enough to be around 920 and it makes the challenge modes not too hard to do. First time you do one it takes time to learn the mechanics anyway.
With the books to 75 AP it gets even easier to do faster.
Well, Concordance. It's been... something. Good riddance and cheers.

I guess they want to give everyone a chance at it. Not every player is going to have the capacity to complete them, though. There are probably more than a few handful who will bang their heads against them with no sense of tactic and never go anywhere (the ones where you have to follow certain mechanics anyway - like the healing challenges, Kruul, and maybe Xylem).

Yeah but that's what I mean... they billed them as like the ultimate class challenge and stuff, and they would remove it before BFA to preserve the prestige. But buffing us massively so there's really no excuse not to have it unless you just don't care means that whole thing about prestige was pointless. So why are they even removing it at all? Hmm :/

It's like they have this grand idea of offering time-limited, high challenge prestige rewards but don't have the nerve to keep it that way when the "I can't do this, it's too hard!" whines start coming in :P

Really? I think it is more like: If you want to do this on your alts too, go ahead.
I was thinking, that probably every main by now overgears the challenge anyway and already has 75. So if you couldn't do until now you probably don't have any advantage. The most advantaged seem to lie with people who did on their main but not on their alts because they are not exactly well equipped and don't have that many artifact levels. So basically "good" players with underequipped alts?
Just a theory though :-D
Ok, so this means we are getting a bump to Concordance 75, which is 25 levels above what is currently systematically (but not mathematically) possible?
If anyone was curious and it hasn't been mentioned yet, it takes about 10 minutes to do the quest chain, it's very easy (I did it on 897 enh shammy), easier than some WQs I'd say, probably tuned for boosts if I had to guess. GL friends, see you out there.

You still get to tell new(BFA) players that they are unobtainable and amazing lol
