The Artifact Retirement Quest is Now Available - Max Concordance and Artifact Level

Artifact Retirement questdoes notmaximizes your Artifact Power, leaving your Artifact at level 126 - Concordance of the Legionfall level 75

Important: You must complete the Silithus quest chain that begins with Summons to Orgrimmar or Summons to Stormwind before you have access to this quest, at which point you must relog your character in Dalaran.

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. Also don't forget the usual Mythic mount drop chances that will be lowered from their guaranteed 100% when Battle for Azeroth goes live!

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.

Comment by QuonoaAlso, now everyone is treated as if you've killed Argus the Unmaker. Seat of the Pantheon glows in the sky even if you haven't killed Argus.
This means you can do the Magni quests on any alt right now, without having to kill Argus.Comment by gangrelpupSo I have a question – should you retire your artifact weapon first and then go into the mage towers – or should you keep doing the mage towers and retire your weapon last?Comment by Cavalier196Is there a guide / previous news post / something similar for the Magni questline? I've got no idea where I'm up to (or if I ever started it).Comment by RizariaI'm really curious, how does this affect all your weapons? On say like a Druid, does it only max power the one you used in the scenario, or do all your weapons become fully capped? I'd try it myself but I'm not able to check currently.Comment by thorr69I'm just gonna go ahead and disagree. I am sitting on a Druid right now who has Whispers of a Frightened World in his quest log AND has Speaker's Call. So, I don;t believe you need to go to Sholazar Basin as a requirement.Comment by CaixiasAwesome, gonna look forward to messing my weapons up big time when I return to Azeroth.

Also, poor Shaman for not being represented in either scenario while Darion gets to hang out on both sides...Comment by RakshaS7Awesome!
.....Wait a sec...
Important: You must complete ALL previous Magni Bronzebeard quests beforehand, including the one that you go to Sholazar Basin.Comment by 690358I'm guessing that's the incentive for people that were like "I'm not going to trash my artifact until the expansion".I'm also guessing anyone who does wait is basically going to be locked out of most BFA content unless they do that quest.Comment by mybelovedchaosThe animation for your artifact is terrifying now....Comment by DomGFQuestioning what some already are, why would they place Valeera with the Horde? She holds no allegiance to any faction and is willing to work with either, but more than anything she claimed that she would protect Varian and Anduin no matter what, that kind of promise I don't expect to be broken so easily.
As for the cinematic in general, would had preferred the almost final farewell to the expansion to still have neutrality and using the power of artifacts on both sides to absorb the power.

PS: Wonder if the holders of these artifacts are canon as well.Comment by QuartrDollarKingI think it’s funny that some people talk about your artifact traits getting stripped like it’s optional.Comment by lamasu93Why is Valeera Sanguinar on horde side? she was one of Wyrnn's best friends and more than once worked with/for the alliance...Comment by Zedi88I don't understand. I have everything with Magni completed and nothing is popping up. I'm on an NA server.Comment by Board4life65BUG: WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE AP REMAINING IN ARE BAGS. ATFERING COMPELETING THE QUESTLINE IT SAYS "YOUR ARTIFACT IS AT FULL POWER"Comment by TerariI'll be honest. The one thing I'm gonna shed a tear over is losing Hati. He has been such a great friend these past 2 years. RIP Hati. I will also probably retire Skoll when Hati "dies". New pet incoming I guess!Comment by TuhljinSo the quest shows up in my log, but the only indication of it was the "quest accepted" sound effect and it showing as tracked on the side. There was no popup to accept anything. There was no voiceover. Anyone else have this issue?Comment by DaMorbid1It will max out all weapons on that character, once you finish the stated questline.Comment by TilraHalduron why are you so far away from everyone else? Valeera won't bit I swear.Comment by artenesseWill only go live with reset (on Wednesday 27th June).Comment by GarrahAlso, poor Shaman for not being represented in either scenario while Darion gets to hang out on both sides...I'm really curious, how does this affect all your weapons? On say like a Druid, does it only max power the one you used in the scenario, or do all your weapons become fully capped? I'd try it myself but I'm not able to check currently.
