Question, so you cant game any of it as it consumes any Artifact Research you have in your inventory. What about Artifact Research thats complete and ready to be picked up?
You can't do artifact research and just not pick it up because artifact research is available starting at level 16. Level 1 to 15 are instant, pay 500 garrison resources and get 1 synopsis book. There really is no way to game this once 7.1.5 is out, assuming the fourth book (taking you straight to AR 20) isn't available in 7.1.5-- that seems like something they're holding for 7.2.If you leave it on the ground before 7.1.5 releases, you might be able to make it to AR16 by leveling to AR15 via the BoA item, then picking it up. Also, it's unclear what happens if you have 2 levels of AR queued up in with an AR level <15 when 7.1.5 releases. Does it just "eat" your garrison resources?
Honestly I don't see why they cant just simplify this confusing crap and make AK completely Account wide where you only have to learn knowledge on your main and have it trickle down to your alts at equal or half the rate or something? Like every 2-3 levels learned on one toon grants 1 level on all future alts, or better yet every 2 levels earned on one toon grants a mail-able level up to a alt of your choosing? Because as it is here seems just trying to create yet another money/resource sink to waste hard earned stuff obtaining other stuff we could totally get fore free thru normal means with enough patience.
I've re-read this carefully several times and still don't understand. And I normally would pick up on systems relatively well without extra explanation. So I really hope they clarify it before it goes live.
They also need a leveling catch-up system.For every max level character, add (*)% across the account. Like, 5-10% and if you have 3 level 110, your 4th character can gain 15-30% more xp
so seeing as theres going to be one that goes up to AK 20 now, i would assume that means we arent seeing 7.15 for several more weeks
The confusing tooltip is only to inform you that you will lose any unused research notes when you use the compendium.This is simply to prevent people from hoarding research notes on alts now, wait till the compendium is available, use it and use the saved up research notes afterwards to get even higher.
Is there a way to see my own artifact knowledge on Wowhead?
I hope this Artifact catch up makes this xpac more alt friendly because as of right now its hard to even have an off spec as a casual player. (Play time about 2 hours a night) Guardian Druid
Cool to see Blizzard is trying to make Legion more alt friendly. So is there any point to leveling AK on alts before 7.1.5? I guess you just save order resources on the cost of the next higher compendium, so its best to stop at a multiple of 5 just shy of your mains highest available compendium?In some ways I'd like to see something similar to the paragon system in Diablo 3 with alts.
it seems to be 5 levels under, so a AK 25 can boost an alt to 20.. a 20 can boost to 15, 15 to 10, etc.. and any character can speed research themself to 15 at 500 resources per rank, but it's instant instead of the 3 day turnover
