Acquiring and Spending Artifact Power（已歸檔）

來自 Wowhead 已更新： 2018/06/26

Note: Artifact Power as of June 26th is disabled in-game. All Artifacts are set to 75 traits. However in Battle for Azeroth, the Heart of Azeroth neck will be empowered via a new type of Artifact Power. Stay tuned for details.What is Artifact Power?

Artifact Power is a collectable resource that grants you the ability to select traits on your artifact weapon.

Artifact Power is not a currency that you collect and spend, but is rather more like experience.

There is an Artifact Power progress bar that shows up above your experience bar. It indicates how close you are to your next Artifact Trait point.

Once you acquire an item that grants Artifact Power, click on it to add Artifact Power to your CURRENTLY EQUIPPED Artifact Weapon.

If you want to apply it to a weapon you have in your bag (for a different spec), you must equip that weapon FIRST, then use the Artifact Power item!

Artifact Power is tied to each weapon you have separately. Therefore, if you have managed to acquire X amount of Artifact Power on one weapon, if you switch to your offspec weapon, this Artifact Power will not carry over (it will have a separate pool of Artifact Power).

You can increase the rate at which you acquire Artifact Power through Artifact Knowledge, which is explained later in the guide.

Check out the Guide to All Artifact Weapons for more information on Artifact Power, the Guide to Acquiring and Spending Artifact Power, and the World Quests page to see if any World Quests currently reward AP.How Do I Get It?

Class Campaign quests - The ends of the quest lines for the Class Hall campaigns reward 職業大廳的榮耀 or 強效職業大廳的榮耀

Treasures

There are hundreds of treasure chests littered around the Broken Isles. They are usually called "Small Treasure Chest", "Treasure Chest", or "Glimmering Treasure Chest".

The chests contain both Order Hall Resources and Artifact Power items such as: 珍貴的錢幣, 鮮明記憶, and 紀元寶藏.

PvE

The bosses in normal and heroic Legion dungeons drops Artifact Power granting items such as: 勝利象徵.

If you queue for a dungeon while your role's Call to Arms is up, your 破損的合作背袋 can contain Artifact Power granting items such as: 無私的榮耀 and 夥伴的恩惠.

Mythic and Mythic+ bosses drop Artifact Power granting items such as: 勝利咒符.

Completing your first LFD dungeon of the day awards 冒險者的智慧 (Normal) and 冒險者的卓越榮耀 (Heroic).

Killing raid bosses also rewards items such as 成就綬章, 勝利綬章, and 勝利綬章.

PvP

Arena and Battleground Win rewards have a chance to contain Artifact Power granting items, with an increased chance on your first win of the day.

Gaining honor levels rewards Artifact Power granting items such as 大混戰的榮耀.

How Can I Get It Faster?

Artifact Knowledge is a system which helps max-level players (110) progress faster.

Artifact Knowledge serves as a way to accelerate Artifact Power gains over time.

Artifact Knowledge increases your rate of Artifact Power gains for all specs and weapons on a single character. This will help players that are trying to upgrade artifacts for off-specs.

This will not carry over to other characters - you will need to work on Artifact Knowledge separately on each character.

Each level of Artifact Knowledge increases the amount of Artifact Power you can accrue from a number of different sources.

Increasing Artifact Knowledge only becomes an option at level 110.

To increase your Artifact Knowledge, you must complete a Work Order. These will cost 0 大廳資源 each and take 5 days at launch.

Each 神兵武器研究筆記 increases Artifact Knowledge by 1 level; there are currently 50 levels in 7.2.

The boost to Artifact Power gains ranges from 25% increased AP at Artifact Knowledge level 1, to over 55200100% at level 50.

Players starting later in the expansion will find that the time required to complete an 神兵武器研究筆記 will be shorter than at launch. There are also ways to catch-up and reach AK 26 in a day, detailed in the Artifact Knowledge guide.

Artifact Knowledge WILL NOT boost any items in your inventory that were obtained BEFORE you reached a certain Artifact Knowledge level.

Items from one-time quests and treasures scale up with Artifact Knowledge; this is so players that skipped content leveling up still have something to look forward to when completing the content.

Check out the Guide to All Artifact Weapons for a chart showing the Artifact Power boosts each level provides.How Do I Spend It?

Artifact traits are special abilities that are unlocked over time via your Artifact weapon. Each trait requires a certain amount of Artifact Power to unlock, and as you unlock traits on the same weapon, subsequent traits require progressively more and more Artifact Power to unlock.

As you obtain Artifact Power, you unlock new Artifact Trait points to put into your Artifact Trait tree.

The cost of traits gets progressively more expensive. A big gap happens between the 13th and 14th traits, going from 1000 AP to 6840 AP.

You must fully max out one trait before you can spend points on a connected trait. You cannot jump around your artifact spending power; all of your traits must be connected.

Gaining Traits

The main point of Artifact Power is to gain enough to learn all the traits on your artifact, and all their ranks.

You can see what to spend your spec's Artifact Power on by clicking on your spec in the table below. These links take you to the "Gear" pages on our Legion Class Guides.

Vengeance Demon Hunter

Fire Mage

Subtlety Rogue

Frost Mage

Refunding Traits

You can also spend Artifact Power on refunding traits.

You can respec/refund your traits (wipe them and reassign them from scratch) at a cost.

Respeccing costs the same amount of Artifact Power as the next point in your Artifact Trait tree would cost.

Alt-Spec Artifacts

With Artifact Knowledge acquired at level 110, it is easier to power through the starting traits on alt-spec artifacts. For example, an item that grants 200 AP normally will grant 200% bonus AP for 600 AP total at Artifact Knowledge 5. This means that you can purchase several trait ranks worth of AP from an item that would normally provide enough AP for one trait rank.

You should be able to spend 13 trait points easily with Artifact Knowledge: all of them together require only 6,500 Artifact Power. So using the 200 AP item example again; at Artifact Knowledge 15 that same item would reward 5900 AP which lets you power through most of the easy traits.

Again, to add an Artifact Power item to a weapon, you must have that weapon equipped. So, you cannot have your mainspec weapon equipped and click on Artifact Power hoping to apply it to an offspec weapon.

How Much Will I Need?

All primary Traits + Maxed Bonus Trait: 65,256,330 Artifact Power

Below is a chart outlining the Artifact Power (AP) cost for each point that you unlock in your Artifact Trait tree. Note that the cost for each point rises exponentially (particularly after the 13th trait) as you unlock more.

One artifact weapon tint requires 揭顯神力; all traits unlocked except for the bonus trait.

I am switching from BM Hunter to MM Hunter (at 105) I already have the Thas'dorah bow. Can I reset the artifact power I spent on Titanstrike to use on Thas'dorah?
*edit* NO. If you refund your artifact power it only refunds it on that weapon. It is not transferable to any other Artifact weapons from that class.

Is the "How much will I need" chart above accurate? I have 21 artifact points so far that should mean I have acquired 160,000+ AP thus far yet my Order hall Vendor will not allow me to buy my belt (required earning 100,000 AP) . I am not counting the points I get from Relics.
Any thoughts?

Guys, I created another set of videos showing the location of every rare mob in Legion/Broken Isles that drop artifact power items through this playlist with Coordinates and instructions on how to implement them through the handynotes addon: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TR-sUFJyAxsPoKdvyB1pNnLJdzJ0URQ I hope these videos help you guys!

I have a question about how the Artifact Knowledge benefit works. I have several levels of Artifact Knowledge on my Boomkin artifact, but none on my other artifacts. Will the boost from my Boomkin's artifact apply to Artifact Power items I gain while working in any of my other specs or do I have to be in Boomkin when I acquire those items for the boost to apply?

Macro to use all AP items in bags:

/run for b=0,NUM_BAG_FRAMES do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b) do local i=GetContainerItemID(b,s) if i and LibStub("LibTTScan-1.0").GetItemArtifactPower(i,1) then OOCDo.Use(i) end end end
/click OOCDo

Pull it to your action bar and click repeatedly - it will use all the items it can find.
Requires two addons to work: LibTTScan-1.0 to find items with AP and OOCDo (v4 or later) to create dynamic "/use" commands.

Refunding Traits

If I choose to refund/respec, does this mean that I will have to grind new AP to fill my tree, or does the respec/refund give me back what I have already collected?

wow this will take a long time.

End of story line quests - Many of the one time end-quests in Broken Isles zones reward Questor's Glory or Greater Questor's Glory

Those two did not make it to live. They were replaced by AP items that are specific to the relevant quest.
_

If you queue for a dungeon while your role's Call to Arms is up, your Shattered Satchel of Cooperation can contain Artifact Power granting items such as: Selfless Glory and Boon of the Companion.

Boon of the Companion was removed as part of an undocumented change in Patch 7.1.5. Its place was taken by Blood of Sargeras.

Edit: Lol, down votes.

2,228,766,330 AP to unlock 52 ranks/first Concordance of the Legionfall.

評論來自 WizeWolf

Just for those that are looking for it (as I were):

Rank 53 need 676 Million AP
Rank 54 need 880 Million AP
Rank 55 need 1.1 Billion AP
Rank 56 need 1.4 Billion AP
Rank 57 need 1.9 Billion AP
Rank 58 need 2.5 Billion AP
Rank 59 need 3.2 Billion AP

Rank 60 need 4.2 Billion AP
Rank 61 need 5.5 Billion AP
Rank 62 need 7.1 Billion AP
Rank 63 need 9.3 Billion AP
Rank 64 need 12.1 Billion AP

Rank 65 need 15.7 Billion AP
Rank 66 need 20.5 Billion AP
Rank 67 need 26.5 Billion AP
Rank 68 need 34.6 Billion AP
Rank 69 need 45.1 Billion AP

Rank 70 need 58.6 Billion AP
Rank 71 need 78 Billion AP
Rank 72 need 99 Billion AP
Rank 73 need 128 Billion AP
Rank 74 need 167 Billion AP
Rank 75 need 217 Billion AP
Reaching 75 gives this achievement: 熔爐的希望

Rank 76 need 283 Billion AP (in case anyone want to continue on their main spec weapon).
Rank 77 need 350 Billion AP

Just so I am not misunderstood: the value is getting to that level (You need 99B to get from Rank 71 to 72).

Happy grinding
Wolf

Artifact Power is tied to each weapon you have separately. Therefore, if you have managed to acquire X amount of Artifact Power on one weapon, if you switch to your offspec weapon, this Artifact Power will not carry over (it will have a separate pool of Artifact Power).

This does not explain *which* pool of AP. There are TWO. There is the amount of AP already invested into the weapon, and the other pool which is available to empower the weapon. Which leaves my questioh unanswered. I can understand that the AP already used to empower the weapon can only ever be used by that weapon. However this still leaves the question of the amount of AP that has not been used. If I respec and equip a different artifact, is that -unused- AP available for the newly equipped weapon?

Posted this on the Artifact Knowledge guide as well, since this guide hasn't been updated at all.

So I was a bit baffled that this information wasn't present anywhere that I could find, so I went ahead and took the initiative to put together how much AP you get from the end of a M+ dungeon, and from the weekly chest. Used videos of Sense - Nurfed (YouTube) M+ runs, and Telar (YouTube) chest opening videos to figure out the amounts, as well as GeertJan's comment on the Everything About Mythic+ Keystones and Dungeons guide.

This is correct as of Season 2 (Patch 8.1.5).

End of dungeon rewards:

+2 - 200 AP
+3 - 210 AP
+4 - 220 AP
+5 - 230 AP
+6 - 240 AP
+7 - 250 AP
+8 - 260 AP
+9 - 270 AP
+10 - 280 AP
+15 - 330 AP
+20 - 380 AP

Weekly chest rewards:

+2 - 1000 AP
+3 - 1050AP
+4 - 1100 AP
+5 - 1150 AP
+6 - 1200 AP
+7 - 1250 AP
+8 - 1300 AP
+9 - 1350 AP
+10 - 1400 AP
+15 - 1650 AP
+20 - 1900 AP
