Did you return to World of Warcraft for Patch 7.2.5, only to feel overwhelmed by the amount of artifact knowledge grind ahead of you? Don’t fret, good buddy; give it a day and then you should be able to catch up in no time.
Blizzard announced on the forums that it is rushing a hotfix through the paces to “significantly reduce” the time it takes for players to climb the artifact knowledge ranks to 40 through their order hall research. Previously, each rank took between 26 and 40 hours each, but after the hotfix that will be shortened down to just four.
“We hope to make this retroactive to any work orders already in progress when the hotfix is applied,” Blizzard said. “Once these changes are live, a returning player should be able to reach the maximum level of artifact knowledge in only a few days.”
