Granted, this dialog only sets us up for absorbing dark energies - presumably, this leads to the end of our weapons in some fashion or another, but there’s no explicit dialog wherein Magni refers to our weapons going poof.

draw out the corruption from the Dark Titan’s blade! The only vessels capable o’ containin’ that kind o’ power… The sword of Sargeras is poisonin’ the very lifeblood of the world. The following datamined lines come courtesy of Magni Bronzebeard and… well, take a look for yourself, and then we’ll discuss: Turns out, Sargeras’ sword also carries with it enough darkness that it does more than just cut through Azeroth - it starts to poison the planet’s lifeblood. The result, aside from a really cool-lookin’ sword sticking out of a now-decimated Silithus, is a mortally wounded Azeroth.

By which I mean, he takes a massive - like, Titan-sized massive - sword and plunges it into Azeroth as the Pantheon drags him to imprisonment. Obligatory warning: There be spoilers for post-Antorus content, patch 7.3.5, and the end of Legion beyond this point.Īt the end of Antorus, Sargeras does his best to stick it to the Pantheon one final time. Thanks to the 7.3.5 PTR and the folks at Wowhead, we now have a pretty solid idea of what’s going to be happening to them. What has been a secret, however, has been how we would be ditching our gear this time around - more specifically, how we’d be taking care of our Artifact weapons. As with every expansion, the game must move on, and that usually involves ridding ourselves of all old gear. It’s no secret that Artifact weapons were going to be a Legion-specific progression system.
