How to unlock all artifact skins in WOW Legion. Priest Artifacts Tome of Supernatural Poisons

  • 06.12.2020

Disassembled in the guide, how to get the hidden appearance of an artifact in the Legion for each class and specialization World of Warcraft. In addition to the secret skins, we will also tell you about the secret effects of artifacts.

Note: This guide is dedicated only to the discovery of one of the 24 artifact skins (for all 36 WOW specializations). For information on obtaining other options for the appearance of artifact weapons, as well as all other information about this aspect of the game, see here:

Artifact weapon appearance

Each artifact in the WOW Legion has one secret appearance (appearance). The source of obtaining the hidden appearance is different for almost all artifacts, for example:

  • Loot from monsters and bosses
  • Reputation purchase with factions
  • Passing special scenarios
  • Construction of special buildings while leveling the Order of the class

After you open access to the secret appearance of the artifact, you will have access to 3 more additional colors. To get these colors, you need to perform various actions with an equipped artifact and an active hidden appearance:

  • Complete 100 dungeons
  • Complete 200 World Quests
  • Kill 1000 players of the opposite faction

In addition to secret forms, some artifacts also have secret features - they can be triggered when the artifact is worn on the character. This guide tells about both the features and the appearance of the artifacts.

For obtaining the hidden appearance of an artifact, the achievement Hidden Potential is provided.

Hidden Appearances of Artifacts

For convenience, the guide is divided into sections by class and specialization. For each branch, an additional effect of an artifact weapon is first indicated, and then - information on opening a secret type of artifact.

How to get the:

To obtain this hidden appearance, you will have to go through a fairly long chain of tasks. In addition, you will need level 6 artifact knowledge.

1. Obtain two books by Nat Pagle:

  • Nat Pagle's Advanced Fishing, which can be looted from the bodies of players in Alterac Valley.
  • A read copy of Nat Pagle's Advanced Fishing, found in the Dusty Tome in Dire Maul.

Do not start the quest that starts with Nefarian's Head or you will lose this item. In the case of a secret appearance, it is important for you to have a head in your inventory.

  1. Make sure you have reached level 6 of the artifact lore.
  2. Talk to Sister Elda with both parts of Nat Pagle's book in your inventory - she will give you a Complete copy of Nat Pagle's Advanced Fishing.
  3. Speak with Prince Thorteldrin in the west wing of Dire Maul with the new book and the Head of Nefarian in your inventory.

Do not touch anyone in Dire Maul, especially the bosses.

  2. Read Grand Inquisitor Isillien's Journal at Hearthglen in Western Plaguelands.
  3. Next is the tricky part - you need to destroy the Big Evil Slime, the respawn time of which can reach 30 hours (it is believed that it is 16 hours). This time depends on the phase and the server, so it is impossible to predict the appearance of mucus.
  4. The slime will drop the item Timolean's Talisman, using which you will see, in fact, Timoleon the Cursed himself. Talk to him and move on to the next step.
  5. 10. Time to catch the Shard of Darkness in the Tondraril River. You can catch him anywhere in the river, no improvements to the fishing skill in any way affect the chance of catching. Some received the coveted shard after 100 casting of the rod, while others needed several thousand - it all depends on luck.
  6. 11. Talk to Lord Maxwell Tyrosus and start the Walk in the Shadows quest. At the end of this quest, you will receive the cherished Heart of Corruption and a new artifact skin.

7. Unrealized skins

In the Wowhead Artifact Calculator, some artifacts have a sixth appearance. At one of the conferences, the developers hinted that new skins will be introduced into the game in the next patches.

P.S. if you want a discount - write to the operator before buying :)


Artifacts are wearable items that directly affect the course of the game. In addition to the many benefits gained from wearing artifacts, you can also change their appearance. Each of the artifacts has 24 different skins, and this guide will tell you about the ways to get skins, their complexity and the time spent.

What do you need to unlock Artifact Skins?

  • First of all, you still need to be level 110, even though you get the artifact on the hundredth.
  • First you need to unlock the model, or the main skin, before unlocking the various colors of this model.
  • After removing the lock from the exterior, you can use it at the forge of artifacts in your class's hall.
  • You can apply the appearance of other weapons to the artifact. All rules regarding changing other weapons remain the same.
  • All unlocked skins are available for all specializations on a character. However, this rule does not apply to the entire account.
  • Some of the weapon skins can change the type of weapon (for example, Might of the Titans, which changes the type of weapon from a firearm to a bow).
