Even trying to account for an expected “par” Knowledge level, any time you came across a non-scaling reward that was aimed at someone with a lower Knowledge level, it felt pretty bad.

And regardless of what we did with one-time sources, the vast majority of a player’s AP over the course of the expansion would come from repeatable sources. There are world quests popping up every few hours, dungeons that can be repeatedly run, and so forth.

Artifact Power isn’t a limited resource.

So, for example, finishing the third chapter of the Suramar campaign awarded a flat 10k Artifact Power, since by that point we expected players to likely have a ~14x multiplier from being around Knowledge Level 12, and we wanted to make sure that the reward still felt meaningful to that player.īut as we were actually playtesting extensively and getting into endgame ourselves and going through the Artifact Power and Knowledge progressions, we realized two things: We added multipliers to things like Suramar or Order Campaign quests that tried to incorporate a likely expected Knowledge level at the point where players would get to that content.

So we spent the first half of beta with all repeatable AP sources (world quests, item drops, missions, etc.) scaling, and all story quests and treasures flat. We started off the design of the system thinking along the exact same lines as many of the posters in this thread: We figured that we should make sure that one-time AP rewards did not scale, or else the “right” answer might be to delay completing key quests or collecting any treasures until you had higher Knowledge. The fact that Artifact Power rewards from quests and treasures now scale with Knowledge is not a bug. Sure, you could do that … but any advantage would be minimal at best. One-time Artifact Power quest rewards now scale with Artifact Knowledge, prompting players to wonder if the most efficient thing to do would be never turn in these quests (or loot treasures) until the rewards scaled sufficiently high. That considered, it’s no surprise Watcher jumped into a recent thread on the beta forums to provide clarification for a recent scaling change. You need to get hands-on with the system to eliminate the confusion - and potential intimidation. When you’re actually playing, though, it feels natural: You get the items you need at regular intervals and most of the work is done under the hood. It’s like leveling up, but it’s your weapon instead of yourself, and the cost of new traits increases over time, but your rate of accruing power also increases over time, and … you get the idea.

Any attempts to explain their function inevitably over-complicates the system. If you aren’t in the Legion beta, you’d be forgiven for being confused as to how Artifact Power and Artifact Knowledge work.
