With today’s Kirin Tor Emissary quest, Kamalia reached Exalted with the last of the 7.0 reputations and got enough Artifact Power to put the 35th trait into Doomhammer. She now has 35 traits in all three of her Artifact weapons. I would like to be celebrating that I’m done with her Artifact weapons… except that come patch 7.2, I won’t be.

This is a great system for people who have an OTP relationship with their Main. For me, though, spending all my playtime with Kam farming Artifact Power is a rabbit hole that I’ve already spent too long falling down. If I want to accomplish my goal of playing all twelve of the Order Hall Campaign stories, I need to be able to let Kam rest.
So, I won’t be doing any more AP farming to put any further ranks into the Paragon traits of Kam’s Artifacts, and I will try to resist the lure of new content when Patch 7.2 comes out to focus on completing the 7.0 and 7.1.5 content first.
At Artifact Knowledge 25, it’s really only the last 5-ish traits that really take awhile to get. Kamalia can quickly boost each alt to Artifact Knowledge 20 as soon as she reaches level 110. Reaching Artifact Knowledge 25 is necessary to get the lore stories about all the Artifacts. Getting AK ranks past 25 will certainly speed my alts along the way to getting all of their Artifacts (or at least the ones for the specs I actually play with them) to 35, though, so I’ll probably end up doing it.
When I’ve gotten my alts’ Artifacts up to 35 traits, then I can think about doing the questlines to open up the Empowered traits. I must admit that I would like to do each of the seven Empowerment questlines at least once, just to see what they’re about.
I was going to build up my shadow and holy weapons up to the first hidden golden traits but I ended up spending all my AP on the last of my Disc traits. I’m still thinking about which classes I’ll be levelling for the new class pets but it’s hard to motivate myself.
Do you mean getting your off-spec weapons to 35 and your main-spec weapon to 54, or off-specs to 13 and main-spec to 35?
I haven’t looked at all the new battle pets from the class halls — and I haven’t bothered to get the existing ones — but I might go for the Monk kitty that matches the Monk order hall mount 😀
The former. I couldn’t remember the maximum no. of traits a weapon could have but I have 38 in my main weapon right now.
You’ve already done a lot of work on your characters – I’m still stuck with one character at 110 and we’re not even going to talk about what I have for weapon count as it’s very sad. I’ll keep going and someday I’ll catch up – next expansion, maybe?
Not as much as Gnomecore, though! That guy is amazing.
I had the dream of having a character of each class at the level class pretty early after I started playing WoW in early Burning Crusade, but it took me until Mists to accomplish it — and even then it might not have happened if I hadn’t had several months of un- or part-time employment during the Mists era. If I hadn’t gotten the 11 currently existing classes to 90 during Mists, I wouldn’t have 12 classes in the Broken Isles now.:P
I ended up with 25 maxed out characters in Mists and another 25 in Draenor (not all quests completed there yet on some of them. However, Legion, I only have the one 110 and a couple of others roaming around up there – just can’t seem to get the ball rolling this expansion. I’ll catch up, just wait and see. 😀
[…] the time Kamalia got all of her Artifacts to 35 traits in mid-February, I was so ready to be done with World Quests. I went off and rattled around in legacy content, merrily bullying old raid bosses for their pocket […]
