So i made a warrior alt and realised i didnt have the hidden skin Burning plate of the world breaker for the artifact weapon/shield …
So i created multiple class trial as suggested in the wowhead comments until the item appeared in the cave, then when it did… i did the quest chain for the shield artifact and it opened up the Burning plate of the world breaker xmog for all my warriors … great
However there are no colour variations available for transmog ?
I had assumed because i did the balance of power on my main the colour variations would be available an all fresh made toons for all artifact weapons
Or is the blue colour for the Hidden skin / not covered by balance of power account wide achievement ?
The additional hidden artifact skins are unlocked by doing world quests(200 WQs I think), legion dungeons(Think it’s 30 you have to do?) & pvp(Get 1000 HKs).
You have to do it on every class you want to unlock additional hidden appearances on. If you have a warrior and unlock them on a warrior, you’ll have access to all of them on warriors.
Go to the class hall and equip the weapon and go to where you can see the appearance and you can hover over them to see how much you’ve done. I think that’s the only way outside of scripts/addons.
Use this script for tracking hidden artifact progress:
/run local a={Dungeons=11152,WQs=11153,PKs=11154}for b,c in pairs(a)do local d,e=0;for f=1,GetAchievementNumCriteria(c)do local g,h=0;g,g,g,h,e=GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(c,f)d=d+h end;print(b..": "..d.."/"..e)end
It’s safe You can see it in comments here: https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=11153/hidden-tracking-appearance-unlock-hidden-color-3-update-criteria-when-world#comments
As for other artifact appearances, just visit class hall
