Has anybody unlocked the 'The Arcanite Bladebreaker'?

[georgelappies]

Would love to have this model for Strom'kar but it seems it is not available yet???

Has anybody unlocked this model yet?

[Saiona]

Don't think anyone has it yet. Would love to have it

[Dug]

Don't think anyone has discovered how to unlock the quest for it yet. Or if they have they aren't telling the world about it.

[Novaice]

I can only tell you that the quest giver for the quest Secrets of the Axes starts from Blacksmith Helgar. You learn that just from reading the quest. Not sure how to start it, but maybe we have to complete the warrior campaign first.

After collecting my second artifact research notes today, I was given the quest to do the Illidan scenario. In that scenario, there is a quest to go up the stairs and assist an orc named Broxigar the Red, AKA Broxigar Saurfang, the brother of Varok (High Overlord) Saurfang. Here's the info for the character if you aren't familiar:

(tried to post the link to the wowwiki page, but don't have enough forum posts yet. just google broxigar)
(He also wields an axe, the same model as Betrayer of Humanity from Naxx 25)

I think it's likely that that the quest "Secrets of the Axes" which requires you to find Saurfang may, in fact, refer to the fallen Saurfang brother, who now likely resides in Skyhold.

Nice theory, but unlikely. These quests could be completed on the beta and had no impact on the search for the artifact skin, nor is Broxigar located in the HoV (and based on the developer QA, it's doubtful he'll show up there in the future either). The quest also specifically states to find Saurfang on the Broken Isles, which would imply that he's out in the world rather than located within the Skyhold.

I guess I missed that part. I guess blizzard just passed up another fantastic opportunity to give warriors a class-representative lore figure. He'd fit in great with the theme of the expansion.

I've been asking the Warcraft devs twitter if the warrior artifacts are enabled on live. Wouldnt hurt if others did too.

[Buesketter]

I have completed the campaign up until the point where you get your third relic slot, and no quest or anything from the blacksmith

Last we saw saurfang was him being shot by a fel cannon in the entry warrior quest. I've searched the area to find nothing. My next logical guess would be to search the coast of all the zones. Perhaps washed up?, more so stormheim because of it's warrior influence. Perhaps the Island north of Stormheim.

A number of the beta quests have changed. For example, prot was a clicky in Neltharion's Lair during beta. I agree though, it seems unlikely at this point. Enough people are at artifact knowledge 2 by now and would have done the quest for this event already. Then again, Brox really does seem like the perfect setup for the initial quest trigger. I guess I'll test in a couple hours.

They've changed some things since beta ended yes, but not major story-interactions like Broxigar being the only player-faction related hero to show up in the HoV. That would probably be the stupidest thing they could do honestly.

Every last bit about the warrior campaign has been the stupidiest thing they could do.

Major story interactions are the primary reason Blizzard hides things in betas/alphas. They love their story reveals.

Actually they usually don't hide story during testing, only cutscenes, but we're given the lore anyways; regardless this wouldn't be a "story reveal" and would mark a change which contradicts their stated intent. They've already come out and said they purposefully removed all A/H/Player-related Warriors from the Skyhold, and adding Broxigar for no reason other than a largely trivial quest would fly in the face of that. It simply isn't going to happen.

Keep in mind as well that the quest indicates that the character will be found on the Broken Isles, which implies it will be out in the world rather than in the Skyhold. That isn't to say that Broxigar couldn't be the character in question, but it's unlikely given that he's been dead for quite a long time, as well as the fact that he's a fairly minor and obscure character that players who haven't read the books won't know of. It's also worth noting that Broxigar is largely referred to by his first name, while Varok is almost always referred to simply as Saurfang.

Possibly but not obtainable yet, like the items for the Fury hidden skin involve a world boss.

I never said anything about anyone being added to Skyhold. I said Broxigar in the Light's Heart/Our-Lord-and-Savior-Illidan quest chain would be a good trigger for the quest chain to appear. The question and search at this point isn't what the quest is. We know what the quest is and where we get it. You get it from Helgar. But there is some chain of events we have to do in the world to cause it to appear. I was simply suggesting that interacting with him might trigger the quest to be shown in SH. The trigger won't be one of the quest objectives. That makes no sense. Now that I'm home, I am about to go find out if that hunch is accurate in any way.

[Update] No noticeable change.

I didn't say you said he'd be added to the Skyhold, that point was aimed at Plasma, who I initially replied to, before you added yourself to the conversation.
