Artifact Calculator and Dressing Room Updated with Dozens of New Weapon Appearances
Over the past few months, we've been previewing new models for Legion artifact weapons. Good news - they've all been added to the
Artifact Calculator
,
Dressing Room
, and Wowhead's modelviewer in the recent build!
Each class now has six Artifact Weapon styles with four tints each (Guardian Druid and Elemental Shaman still not implemented). Notable additions include
Thunderfury Reborn
for Outlaw Rogues and the
Titan's Reach
bow for Beast Mastery Hunters.
In addition, the Artifact Calculator has been updated to show new appearances for the
Doomhammer offhand
and some others.
To view the new appearances in the Artifact Calculator, simply
visit the Artifact Calculator page
, select your spec, and click on the "Appearances" tab. Click on the different squares to navigate between appearances and mouse over the squares to see where each appearance is from.
To load up a specific weapon style, go to the
Legion Dressing Room
, add the weapon you like, and then click on the weapon icon > Reforge Appearance to bring up a list of the different styles and colors. If you add the matching offhand, it will automatically update to the same style. Hit "Save" to add your artifact transmog to our
Outfits database
!
In the full post is a list of all the new styles that were added to our modelviewer, as well as some transmog suggestions in the Dressing Room.
