The Legion Remix event begins on October 7, 2025, bringing back the Artifact Weapons that defined the original expansion. In this limited-time event, these weapons are no longer just relics of the past but the core of all character progression, redesigned with new systems and mechanics to fit the Remix format.
In this guide, we’ll cover:
- How to acquire your Artifact Weapon as a new Timerunner and how alts can skip the intro.
- Artifact appearances you can unlock and which ones remain unobtainable.
- The Artifact Power system — Artifactium Sand, Infinite Power, Bronze, and Infinite Knowledge.
- The universal Artifact talent tree, its unlocks, and the five elemental paths.
- Key active abilities and strategic applications of Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, and Holy.
- Advanced customization through accessories and hybrid builds.
- Infinite progression with Limits Unbound and its role as the event’s ultimate power sink.
This event is available to all active World of Warcraft subscribers — no separate purchase is required. Blizzard has also granted every account five extra character slots, so players can freely create new Timerunner characters without deleting existing ones.
Artifact Weapon Acquisition & Appearances in WoW Legion Remix: Forging Your Legend
Obtaining your weapon and customizing its look are the foundational first steps on your journey through the Broken Isles. The process has been streamlined for maximum efficiency without sacrificing the thematic weight of these legendary items from World of Warcraft.
How to Get Your First Artifact Weapon (and Alts in Legion Remix)
- Your First Character: The first Timerunner character you create will experience a narrative-driven introduction to the event. You will be guided through the initial Legion storyline, starting with the defense of Dalaran and the battle on the Broken Shore. Upon completing this introductory questline, you will be directed to your Class Order Hall to receive your first Artifact Weapon. This process serves as an organic tutorial for the new systems. To ensure everyone can participate, the event provides extra character slots, so you won’t need to delete existing characters to create a Timerunner.
- Introductory Questline:
Your first Timerunner will go through a short sequence of quests in Dalaran and on the Broken Shore before claiming an Artifact. These quests include Time Crisis, Mean Streets of Dalaran, Seal and Protect, Thrift, Threadbare, Infinite Bronze, and Something Borrowed (where you select your first Artifact and unlock Remix Time). Follow-up quests like Obliterate, Then Iterate introduce gear scrapping and Unraveling Sands, while As a Matter of Artifact teaches you to spend traits. The chain ends with Eternal Gratitude and A Fixed Point in Time, which unlocks the Infinite Bazaar and starts your Legion Remix adventure. - Your Alternate Characters: Once you have completed the introduction on one character, any subsequent alts can skip it entirely. This “get-in-and-go” approach allows your other Timerunners to visit Dalaran, pick up a quest, and be sent directly to their Class Order Hall to acquire their weapon almost immediately. For a smooth start, it is recommended to have your alt in the desired specialization before skipping the intro to ensure you receive the correct Artifact Weapon from the outset. Important: On a skipped introduction, you immediately receive the Artifact for your current specialization only. Until you unlock the other Artifacts through the Order Hall campaign, swapping to a different spec leaves you without traits or Infinite Power for that spec. Make sure you pick the right specialization before accepting the skip.
- Class Restrictions: It is crucial to note that the Dracthyr Evoker class, introduced long after the original Legion expansion, will not be available to play in Legion Remix. As they did not exist during that era, they have no associated Artifact Weapon and are therefore not included in the event.
Appearances: Earning Your Look
In Legion Remix, you can collect a huge variety of artifact weapon appearances through their original in-game methods, encouraging deep engagement with the entire Legion expansion’s content. Nearly all original weapon appearances and their corresponding color tints are obtainable. The artifact weapon appearances available for you to unlock include:
- Base Appearance (from the initial quest)
- Upgraded Appearance (from completing the Order Hall campaign)
- Balance of Power Appearance (from the extensive, raid-focused questline of the same name)
- Valorous Appearance (from the Unleashed Monstrosities achievement, earned by defeating Legion’s world bosses)
- Hidden Appearance (from various secret sources and activities)
However, to preserve the prestige of the original challenges, Blizzard has confirmed that weapon appearances from the Mage Tower challenge and those earned from reaching Elite PvP ranks will not be obtainable. A small UI tip: if a newly unlocked tint doesn’t appear in your transmog collection, a quick log-out and log-in will usually fix it.
A Note on PvP
While the focus of the event is PvE content, your Artifact Weapon and its associated powers will still function in instanced PvP like Battlegrounds and Arenas. As noted above, however, the original PvP-specific weapon appearances are not available to be earned.
WoW Legion Remix Artifact Power System — Artifactium Sand & Talent Tree
Player power is consolidated entirely within the Artifact Weapon, replacing traditional gear upgrades. Progression is managed through the new artifact weapon system which has two complementary parts: item level and a universal talent tree.
How Legion Remix Differs from Original Legion:
- All Artifact Weapons now share one universal talent tree instead of spec-specific versions.
- Relics have been removed; item level increases come from Artifactium Sand and its larger version, the Mound of Artifactium Sand.
- Infinite Power is shared across all Artifacts for a single character, so no spec is left behind.
- Jewelry pieces (rings, trinkets, necklaces) can add bonus ranks to traits, even outside your chosen path.
Item Level with Artifactium Sand: The Baseline
As you adventure across the Broken Isles, you will frequently be rewarded with Artifactium Sand. This currency is sourced from a wide variety of activities and is automatically consumed to increase your weapon’s item level. This ensures your weapon’s base stats scale passively as you play, replacing the original, more complex relic system for weapons in Legion. Sources for Artifactium Sand include:
- Caches of Infinite Treasures
- Completing dungeons and raids
- World Quests and World Bosses
- Various daily activities and quests
Artifactium Sand also drops in larger bundles called Mounds of Artifactium Sand. Both versions apply automatically to raise your weapon’s item level. Once you reach the maximum item level currently available to your character, these items stop dropping.
The Talent Tree and Infinite Currencies: The True Depth
The heart of Artifact progression lies in a completely redesigned, unified talent tree. Advancing through this tree requires new event-specific currencies, a design that separates cosmetic pursuits from power progression in World of Warcraft.
- Infinite Power: This is the primary currency used to purchase traits in the Artifact talent tree. Your main goal is to collect Infinite Power from nearly every activity in the game. The progression pacing is designed for a long-term journey; early traits are acquired quickly, but the cost of higher-tier nodes and the infinite rank scales significantly, creating a rewarding long-term grind that may appeal to Classic players used to persistent progression.
Sources of Infinite Power are broad and include:
- Looting mobs and raid bosses
- Completing dungeons, world quests, and raids
- Opening Caches of Infinite Treasures and outdoor treasure chests
- Flying through Bronze Orbs scattered in the skies of the Broken Isles
- Flying through airborne demons to detonate them for rewards
- Collecting and turning in 100 Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges for a significant chunk of Infinite Power (dropped more often from harder content)
You can track your current Infinite Power gains through the “Infinite Power” buff on your bar, which displays the primary stat and Stamina provided by your weapon at any time.
- Bronze: In contrast to Mists of Pandaria Remix, where collecting bronze orbs was tied to power, Bronze in Legion Remix is used exclusively for purchasing cosmetic items like mounts and transmog sets. You will never have to choose between being powerful and looking good.
- Infinite Knowledge: To make leveling alternate characters a more rewarding experience, an account-wide system called Infinite Knowledge has been implemented. Each point permanently increases the amount of Infinite Power all characters on your Warcraft account receive. For a tangible example, if your main character has accumulated 10 ranks of Infinite Knowledge, all of your alts will earn a massive +100% more Infinite Power from all sources, dramatically accelerating their progression. Any Knowledge earned beyond the cap is converted into Bronze.
Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges are an additional way to accelerate progression. These fragments drop in small amounts from Heroic World Tier elites, rares, and world bosses, with larger bundles from raid bosses and Mythic+ chests. Combining 100 creates a consumable that grants a large sum of Infinite Power.
Infinite Knowledge itself caps at 36 ranks; any further points earned automatically convert into Bronze. Sources include major zone story achievements, dungeon and raid completions, world quest metas, Legion assaults, and the “Unlimited Power” achievement series.
WoW Legion Remix: Navigating the Universal Artifact Talent Tree
The talent tree serves as the primary interface for customizing your character’s power. It can be accessed at any time by simply shift-clicking your equipped weapon. A key feature of this artifact weapon system is its flexibility; you can reset and reallocate your talent points for free at any time you are out of combat using the new Quick Assign feature. This intuitive UI allows for on-the-fly strategic changes by using Ctrl-click to spend points and Ctrl-right-click to instantly refund them.
Initial Unlocks: The First Steps to Power
The tree begins with a section of foundational traits that offer baseline stat increases and universally useful passive bonuses.
- First Active Ability: Remix Time
The very first trait unlocked grants Remix Time. This ability opens a temporal rift, causing all of your cooldowns to recover at a staggering 1,000% faster rate for 3 seconds. With a 2-minute cooldown, it offers a powerful burst of utility for resetting key abilities, acting as a potent cooldown manager. - Initial Passive Suite: The Path of the Hunter
Following this are several passives themed around efficient movement and engagement, starting with Nostwin’s Impatience. Other notable early traits include Momentus’s Perseverance (bonus regeneration), Eternus’s Ambition (resource generation on entering combat), Moratari’s Calculation (fall-based AoE burst), and Erus’s Aggression (damage boost on your first hit). These stack with your initial passives to make combat entry more rewarding. This initial suite is designed to give you a turbo boost for traversing legion content, making moving from one fight to the next a fast, fluid, and rewarding experience as the speed effect stacks.
WoW Legion Remix Artifact Weapon Paths — Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, Holy
After the initial section, you are presented with a significant choice: one of five powerful active abilities, each defining a distinct thematic branch of the tree.
1. The Nature Path (Call of the Forest)
A support-oriented tree that summons the forces of nature to aid you and your allies.
- Active Ability: Call of the Forest: Summons a stampede of spectral beasts that charges forward, damaging and immobilizing enemies while shielding allies and granting a stacking attack/casting speed buff.
- Strategic Applications: An excellent choice for group content like Timeworn Keystone dungeons and raids, where its group-wide buffs and survivability prove invaluable for tanks and healers facing harder content.
Nature (Call of the Forest): Key majors are Souls of the Caw → Highmountain Fortitude → Waking Frenzy → Dreamweaving (final). Dreamweaving grants you and nearby allies vastly accelerated cooldown recovery and resource regeneration for 10 seconds.
2. The Fel Path (Twisted Crusade)
An aggressive, summon-focused tree that excels at turning a single target into a walking bomb.
- Active Ability: Twisted Crusade: Summons a formidable Dreadlord for 30 seconds. While the demon is active, the ability transforms into Fel Spike, allowing you to command it to explode for massive area-of-effect damage at any point during its duration.
- Strategic Applications: Ideal for classes with strong single-target damage who want to deal more damage. It shines in raid environments from the Emerald Nightmare to the Burning Throne, where its burst potential aligns well with boss damage windows.
Fel (Twisted Crusade): Key majors are Touch of Malice → I Am My Scars! → Call of the Legion → Felspike (final). Felspike detonates your summoned Dreadlord, causing massive AoE while spreading Fel Touched debuffs.
3. The Arcane Path (Naran’s Everdisc)
A flexible path centered on a skill-based projectile and powerful defensive shields, rewarding rhythmic gameplay.
- Active Ability: Naran’s Everdisc: Throws a disc of arcane energy that returns like a boomerang. Intercepting the returning disc allows you to throw it again up to two more times, with each subsequent throw increasing its damage.
- Strategic Applications: A versatile tree that benefits a wide range of playstyles, different from the other paths. The defensive options are valuable for all roles, especially casters needing to negate mechanics in dungeons and raids.
Arcane (Naran’s Everdisc — update name): Key majors are Volatile Magics → choice of Arcane Aegis or Arcane Ward → Temporal Retaliation → Arcane Inspiration (final). Successfully catching Everdisc three times grants Naran’s Blessing, a powerful haste buff.
4. The Storm Path (Tempest Wrath)
A melee-centric tree focused on sustained AoE damage and enhanced mobility.
- Active Ability: Tempest Wrath: Unleashes a crackling storm around you for 9 seconds, its damage increasing for each enemy struck, making it an exceptional tool for large-scale pulls.
- Strategic Applications: The premier choice for efficiently farming large groups of enemies in outdoor content and open world content, especially within the Heroic World Tier. Its sustained AoE makes it a top contender for clearing trash packs in Timeworn Keystone dungeons.
Storm (Tempest Wrath): Key majors are Terror From Below → choice of Storm Surger or Brewing Storm → Thunderstruck → Churning Waters (final). This path includes unique move-while-casting options and sustained AoE scaling.
5. The Holy Path (Vindicator’s Judgment)
A self-contained hybrid tree that offers an unparalleled blend of offense, defense, and group-saving utility.
- Active Ability: Vindicator’s Judgment: A complex, three-stage ability that begins by creating a moving beam of holy light that damages enemies and heals allies. It then transforms into a damaging charge (Enter the Fray), and finally a healing teleport (Lightbound Passage).
- Strategic Applications: Arguably the most versatile tree, acting as the ultimate safety net. It provides a powerful “cheat death” mechanic via the Xe’ra’s Embrace passive, which is a game-changer in high-end Timeworn Keystone dungeons and progression raiding.
Holy (Vindicator’s Judgment): Key majors are Light’s Vengeance → Flight of the Val’kyr → Xe’ra’s Embrace → Empyreal Orders (final). Xe’ra’s Embrace provides a major defensive when dropping below health thresholds, reinforcing the path’s role as a safety net.
For quick reference, here’s a summary of the five Artifact Paths, their active abilities, and best applications in Legion Remix 2025:
| Path | Active Ability | Description | Best Use Cases |
| Nature (Call of the Forest) | Summons spectral beasts that damage and immobilize enemies while shielding allies and granting stacking haste/casting speed. | Group utility, control, and survivability. | Tanks, healers, and support DPS in raids and Timeworn Keystone Dungeons. |
| Fel (Twisted Crusade) | Summons a Dreadlord for 30s; ability transforms into Fel Spike to detonate the demon for massive AoE. | Converts single-target focus into cleave and burst AoE. | Single-target DPS classes, raid boss fights with priority adds. |
| Arcane (Naran’s Everdisc) | Throws an energy disc that boomerangs; catching it lets you throw it again up to 3 times, each throw stronger. | Flexible damage + defensive shielding. | Casters and hybrids needing utility and rhythm-based gameplay. |
| Storm (Tempest Wrath) | Unleashes a crackling storm for 9s; damage scales with number of enemies struck. | Sustained AoE and mobility tools. | Melee DPS for AoE pulls, open world content, Heroic World Tier. |
| Holy (Vindicator’s Judgment) | Three-stage ability: damaging/healing beam → damaging charge → healing teleport. | Hybrid offense, healing, and a “cheat death” mechanic via Xe’ra’s Embrace. | Tanks, healers, and progression raiders needing safety nets. |
Artifact Weapon Customization — Accessories, Hybrid Builds & Limits Unbound
The system’s true depth is revealed in the endgame through two key features that allow for profound build-crafting and the discovery of new rewards.
1. Build-Crafting with Accessories
Rings, trinkets, and necklaces in Legion Remix can grant bonus ranks and affix-like buffs to passive traits in the Artifact tree—even talents outside your chosen path. An epic-quality accessory can grant as many as three bonus ranks to a single trait. This opens the door for deep customization:
- Specialize: A player committed to the Storm path could equip accessories that grant bonus ranks to Tempest Wrath traits, turning them into an unstoppable AoE machine.
- Hybridize: A Warlock on the Fel path could equip a ring that grants the Brewing Storm talent from the Storm tree. This would allow them to build up a charge of damage while standing still to cast, then unleash it as a burst of AoE when they are forced to move, elegantly covering a traditional weakness.
2. Infinite Progression: Limits Unbound
At the very end of the talent tree lies the final trait: Limits Unbound. This node can be purchased an infinite number of times. Each rank costs a substantial 50,000 Infinite Power and permanently increases your primary stat, Stamina, and Versatility by 1%, giving you more health and damage. This serves as the endgame power sink for Infinite Power, allowing the most dedicated World of Warcraft players to continuously grow stronger. The content rollout is planned to feature accelerated, potentially daily, raid lockouts, giving you frequent opportunities to power up for each new challenge in Warcraft.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Artifact Weapons in the WoW Legion Remix event?
Artifact Weapons are the centerpiece of progression in Legion Remix 2025. Instead of being just cosmetic items, they scale in item level, unlock appearances, and grant power through a universal talent tree. All classes and specializations use this system, making the Artifact Weapon the defining factor of your character’s strength throughout the Remix event.
How do you unlock your first Artifact Weapon in Legion Remix?
Your first Timerunner goes through a special introduction questline in Dalaran and on the Broken Shore. After completing this sequence, you are sent to your Class Order Hall where you receive your Artifact Weapon. This also teaches you how to unlock Remix Time, spend Infinite Power, and begin using traits. It’s designed to introduce you naturally to the new systems before you dive into Legion Remix content.
Can alternate characters skip the Legion Remix introduction?
Yes, alts can skip the introduction once you’ve completed it on your first character. They immediately get the Artifact Weapon for their current specialization, but off-specs remain locked until earned through the Order Hall campaign. This makes it crucial to log in on the specialization you want to play, since skipping grants only that spec’s Artifact at the start.
What Artifact appearances can be earned in Legion Remix 2025?
Most appearances from the original Legion expansion return. These include the Base quest appearance, the upgraded look from completing your Order Hall campaign, Balance of Power skins from raid progression, the Valorous set from world bosses, and various Hidden appearances. However, Mage Tower challenge appearances and Elite PvP appearances are permanently unobtainable, keeping their exclusivity intact.
Does the Mage Tower return in Legion Remix?
No, the Mage Tower is not part of the Legion Remix event. Its special cosmetic appearances remain unavailable. Players can still engage with Legion’s raids, dungeons, world quests, and assaults, but the Mage Tower skins were retired to preserve their prestige.
How does Artifactium Sand work in Legion Remix?
Artifactium Sand is the currency that increases the item level of your Artifact Weapon. It drops passively from most activities such as raids, dungeons, and world quests. Larger bundles called Mounds of Artifactium Sand drop later in the event. These items apply automatically, scaling your weapon as you play. Once your weapon reaches the event’s item level cap, they stop dropping.
What is Infinite Power in Legion Remix?
Infinite Power is the main progression currency for the Artifact talent tree. It drops from nearly every activity in Legion Remix: raids, dungeons, world quests, Bronze Orbs, even flying through airborne demons. Infinite Power not only unlocks traits but also increases your character’s primary stat and Stamina through the passive Infinite Power buff, ensuring consistent scaling as you progress.
How do Fragmented Mementos of Epoch Challenges work?
These fragments are a high-value progression item. They drop in small numbers from Heroic World Tier mobs and in larger bundles from raid bosses and Mythic+ chests. When you collect 100, you can combine them into a single item that grants a significant chunk of Infinite Power. This system rewards players who consistently engage in tougher content.
What is Infinite Knowledge in Legion Remix 2025?
Infinite Knowledge is an account-wide system that boosts Infinite Power gains for all of your characters. It is earned by completing major achievements, like zone storylines, dungeon clears, and raid victories. The system caps at 36 ranks, each rank granting +10% more Infinite Power from all sources. Past that cap, any new ranks automatically convert into Bronze. This makes playing one character benefit your entire account.
How do Bronze and cosmetics interact with Artifact Weapons?
Bronze is Legion Remix’s cosmetic currency. You earn it through gameplay and can spend it at the Infinite Bazaar on mounts, transmog sets, pets, and toys. Unlike Mists of Pandaria Remix, Bronze no longer impacts your character’s power. This ensures you can pursue cosmetics and character strength separately, without sacrificing one for the other.
What is the New Quick Assign Feature in Legion Remix?
The Quick Assign UI makes the Artifact tree much easier to manage. Players can instantly spend or refund points with simple hotkeys: Ctrl-click to assign, Ctrl-right-click to remove. This system is free, unlimited, and works anytime out of combat, letting you experiment with builds or quickly adapt to raid, dungeon, or PvP scenarios.
What are the five Artifact Weapon paths in Legion Remix?
The five paths are Nature (Call of the Forest), Fel (Twisted Crusade), Arcane (Norgannon’s Ever-Disc), Storm (Tempest Wrath), and Holy (Vindicator’s Judgment). Each offers a unique active ability and themed talents: Nature excels at utility, Fel at burst AoE, Arcane at flexible control, Storm at sustained AoE, and Holy at healing and survivability.
Which Artifact Path is best for raiding in Legion Remix?
Fel (Twisted Crusade) is often considered the strongest raid choice. It summons a powerful Dreadlord and converts strong single-target damage into AoE through Fel Spike detonations. This makes it perfect for raid environments like Emerald Nightmare or Burning Throne where add control and burst phases are critical.
Which Artifact Path is best for dungeons and farming?
Storm (Tempest Wrath) is the top choice for dungeon clears and farming. Its sustained AoE scales with the number of enemies hit, making it incredibly efficient for clearing large packs in Timeworn Keystones or Heroic World Tier farming zones. Its mobility and move-while-casting talents add flexibility.
What is Limits Unbound in Legion Remix 2025?
Limits Unbound is the final infinite trait at the end of the Artifact tree. Each rank costs 50,000 Infinite Power and grants +1% Versatility along with boosts to your primary stat and Stamina. It has a hard cap of rank 999 for the event, ensuring long-term progression without breaking balance. This serves as the ultimate grind for dedicated players.
Does your Artifact Weapon work in PvP?
Yes, your Artifact and its traits function in instanced PvP like Battlegrounds and Arenas. While they provide full power benefits, players cannot earn the original PvP-exclusive Artifact appearances tied to Elite ranks. This ensures balance while maintaining exclusivity for retired rewards.
How do accessories affect Artifact Weapon progression?
Rings, necklaces, and trinkets in Legion Remix can grant bonus ranks to traits, even outside your chosen path. This system lets you enhance your preferred build or mix talents across paths. For example, a Fel-path Warlock could add Storm traits for hybrid burst, creating highly customizable setups.
Can you respec Artifact traits in Legion Remix?
Yes, respeccing is free and unlimited outside of combat. The Quick Assign feature makes switching between builds instant. You can test different talent paths for raids, farming, or PvP, and swap back without penalty. This flexibility encourages experimentation and adaptation.
How long are raid lockouts in Legion Remix?
Raid lockouts are shorter than in standard WoW. Instead of weekly resets, Remix raids refresh more quickly, with timers lasting up to six days. This gives players more frequent chances to farm Infinite Power, raid loot, and unlock Artifact appearances while the event runs.
Do I need a separate purchase to join Legion Remix 2025?
No separate purchase is required. Legion Remix is included with your active Warcraft subscription. As long as you have game time and simply install the latest patch, you can access the event. This makes the Remix accessible to all subscribed players.
