Please note that if you switch specs, your current artifact is disabled and you, (like I did) might realize 3/4s of the way through a 'holy hell this is hard' questline that you have no weapon.

Not always so obvious if you are caster and an idiot like me.

There dosen't seem to be much information around on this quest and I left it until I had maximum artifact power on my first weapon.

things in a nutshell:

I was able to do the scenario as fire with my original weapon and gain the second weapon at the end, so none of this omg i dont have a weapon problem that eveyone seems to mention!

when you activate the new spec your new weapon obviously starts at zero but any artifact power you acquire still gains the larger amount that you gain through artifact research, so i was able to aquire 17 levels on my first artifact stone which was around 35k

hope this helps sombody!

Is this quest mandatory? My mage has been fire since I rolled her in classic, I've never had an off spec, nor even purchased the second spec from the trainer (back when you could for the achiev). For me, pure dps classes are their spec: when I wanted to play arcane, I rolled another toon.

So, if I don't do this quest will it hamper my toon/hall progression?

Description

We have strong leads on other ancient weapons that you might choose to pursue, if having one renowned, powerful piece of history in your hands is somehow insufficient. I'll lay out the options for you. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.
