Broken Shore Artifact Questline

By Wowhead Updated: 2025/10/17

original Legion expansionLegion: RemixUnlocking Empowered TraitsAssault on Broken ShorePower Unbound

The 20-point Infinite trait, providing damage and stamina, turns into two separate traits.

There is a new Empowered set of traits plus an Infinite trait.

All of your original 3/3 traits can be expanded to 4/4.

You can't use stockpiled Artifact Power items on the Empowered Artifact.

The Artifact Power spent on the original Infinite trait is refunded. You can choose to spend that power maxing out old 4/4 traits or on the new Empowered Artifact traits.

You must complete your spec's questline to access the Challenging Artifact Appearance scenario.

Power Ascended is an Achievement that requires players to complete their 7.2 Artifact questline and then unlock the new 7.2 traits, including one point in the Infinite trait.

Empowering Trait QuestlinesThe Broken Shore: Investigating the LegionMysterious Runebound Scroll

The first trait provides a Stamina and damage increase.

Players can then put points into a 4/4 Bronze Trait, 1/1 Bronze Trait, and 1/1 Golden Trait.

Players can also upgrade the original 3/3 Bronze Traits to 4/4 at the same time.

Once all empowered traits are filled out, and all Bronze Traits upgraded to 4/4, players can spend Artifact Power on the Infinite Trait Concordance of the Legionfall.

Placing a point into the Infinite Trait rewards Power Ascended. Acquiring this achievement grants the class mount and unlocks some new pets, mounts, and toys from vendors.

~~Hope someone with the answer finds this, but are there any quests or requirements to research AK 26+ or does the npc just offer it as before. I can't seem to find that info anywhere.~~

Ok, you have to complete Seeking Lost Knowledge to open AK 26-40.
Also, this is skipped with the AK Tomes that take you right to 40, and all this will be gone in 7.3, everyone will be set to AK 40 and everyone will get 1 lvl each week automatically, no more work orders!

Comment by Partholonian

In the list of which specs get which questlines, Elemental Shaman is listed twice and Enhancement Shaman is not listed at all. I guess I'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out which is which.

Comment by SquirePip

Nice how nowhere in this guide does it tell you where to pick up the quest so you are forced to watch the video just to find that out.

Comment by 1106003

so the only one listed and I did do CTRL + F

where is Frost Death Knight. I have that available to do and blood but I only see blood.

Comment by Aerynsun8449

Is anyone else having this difficulty, I did the quest yesterday to open the additional traits on my Artifact Weapon Felo'melorn.I've got the first trait learned, Instability of the Tirisgarde, rank 1/1. I've got the next one Pre-Ignited at rank 1/4. I received Unity of the Orders, "Use: Grants 100,000 Artifact Power to your currently equipped Artifact." My AP bar is sitting at 3,572,980/13,000,000.

Now for the difficulty, when I click on it to add the ap to my weapon I get the error message, "Your Artifact is too powerful to be modified by that item.

It's telling me it can't raise my ap on my weapon to 3,672,980/13,000,000. Has anyone else ran across this problem?

However, I just clicked on another AP item (I didn't think to look at the name) and it added 115,100 ap to my weapon. So now my AP bar is sitting at 3,688,080/13,000,000. Is there something I'm missing with the Unity of the Orders item? I tried clicking on it after the other item and got the same error message.

Comment by 1753211

Could someone explain to me how to start doing the quests for my other talents?
i started as warrior fury, completed that, but now i want to get it for prot to?
so who starts the quest all over again? it is the mage in dala or what?

Comment by TidalShock

For those on the quest to stablise the portal, the three correct runes are:

Drelga, Taam and Talar.

Comment by sagethespice

But how do I achieve this on an alt artifact weapon? Please help

Comment by markssweetpolly

I am a fire mage, and wield the Felo'melorn. When the patch came out it reset my weapon, it took all but one of the points out of my offhand and gave me a majority of them back to set up in the new circle with new traits. The main hand weapon was filled and now the traits which are more than 1 point in them are now missing 1 point each. Why are my points in those traits gone? I can understand the new traits in the circle having to be filled, but to take those from my main weapon I worked hard to get! It now takes 49 million artifact power to fill those now. So yea you could say I am a little disgusted with the whole process. I can't seem to get through to you in "contact" in battle.net so I am hoping I can get through to you here so I can get my trait points restored.

Comment by oscarucb

The whole first two sections on unlocking the 7.2 traits don't provide the simple answer of the correct and fastest means to do it.

The correct answer is HERE.

Comment by Seraclover

If you're doing this for an off-spec:

I believe (but failed to confirm) you have to be IN the alt-spec to see the initial quest to empower your artifact; however, once you embark on the initial quest, you can complete the chain in whatever talent spec you want. (I took up the SV Hunter quest and completed the whole thing in my main BM spec.)

Comment by 781707

Apparently you can skip these but I'm not sure how I did it. Either empowering the first row in the crucible or equipping a relic from the new traits (probably the latter). To be clear, this was done on an alt. Netherlight Crucible was already unlocked and I had unlocked world quests on another spec.

Comment by brucek2

As of 7.3, is there any point to these quests for alts? (If I'm not mistaken, they no longer have to unlock the extra traits / trait ranks and instead have them immediately available upon unlocking the original traits.)

Does the quest chain count towards anything else of significance?

Comment by Dahrkmezalf

By and large, the questline for the "Power Unbound" achievement is pretty much null as of Patch 7.3. The only real need to do this anymore is for the achievement, and to unlock the Artifact Challenge for new skins, which requires you to do so for each Artifact.
-
As of Patch 7.3, all characters globally share Artifact Knowledge - that is, you no longer research levels at your Order Hall, the old Account-Bound Tomes are obsolete, and upon hitting level 110, your Knowledge should automatically skyrocket to the current global level (as of this comment, AK is level 51; a 220.5 million percent increase for Artifact Power items). I believe the Knowledge level increases by 1 each week during Tuesday reset. Talk about an alt-friendly boost!
-
That being said, the quest to "unlock your weapon's potential" is no longer necessary, as you already have access up to Concordance of the Legionfall. In fact, if you already dumped billions of AP into your weapon before doing these quests, it will reset your Concordance trait to level 1 upon completion, and you'll have to reinvest them.
-
As a side note, this reset will also nullify any Netherforge Crucible traits you've given your Relics until you reinvest those points.

Comment by shihchiun

Note that you must possess the correct artifact weapon for the questline you choose in order to actually complete it.
