Titanforge Cap to Remain at 425 for the Rest of Season 2
Blizzard clarified today that the titanforge cap will stay at 425 even with the release of Crucible of Storms. The last boss will drop ilvl 425 gear on mythic difficulty that cannot titanforge or warforge any higher until 8.2.
Last Week of Azerite Knowledge for Season 2
Today marks the last time that Azerite knowledge will lower the amount of Azerite power needed to level your Heart of Azeroth for the rest of season 2. Currently, the Heart of Azeroth level cap is 50. We don't know for sure what will happen with azerite power in 8.2, but Ion did mention a bit of what we can expect during a previous Q&A stream. The clip below also shows Ion discussing this a little further.
- In 8.2, when you receive new pieces of Azerite Armor the trait rings will be fully unlocked based on your Heart of Azeroth level and you can make the choices on which traits you want right away without having to work to unlock them again.
- The Heart of Azeroth will utilize azerite power, allowing you to permanently earn powers and potentially active abilities to unlock through the neck piece itself, in a manner likely similar to your legion weapon.
