With legion Timewalking coming at SOME point, does anyone know whether or not the artifact weapon powers and legendaries will become active for legion content during that time or not?
They have disabled the legendaries from Legion even if your character is at lv 45. The artifact as well has been drained of power even if you are in level appropriate content. Those will not function for Legion TWing.
No and no. All that stuff along with legion tier set bonuses (the last put in the game) are completely turned off in all situations since 9.0 pre-patch last year on October 13.
And as for the other stuff:
Legion timewalking = can use bfa (heart of azeroth, essence, azerite, and 8.3 cape) and SL (shards etc) stuff for increased power gains that aren’t properly squished
Legion m+ timewalking (and pretty obviously the mage tower) = no bfa stuff (or older) will be active, so just use what SL gear you have.
Incorrect, that was unintended and will be fixed.

Artifact weapon powers are depleted during pre patch. We didn’t had access to it even pre BFA. Main reason they won’t come back is because many artifact abilities are converted to talents.
It’s hilarious that since bfa pre-patch blizzard has actually done 2 squishes worth of tuning on those traits (excluding the obvious % based ones). And then they left the 33700 primary stat (or vers) proc as it was when we got the sargeras ap roids.
Can’t imagine how much damage someone could do now if the disable flags were turned off for some reason.
If you had a nice artifact with titanforged relics, don’t look. In the last round of nerfs they made artifacts no better than heirlooms. They’re essentially worthless now to levelers, since they nerfed the drop rate of relics so hard, and levelers in that expansion have no other source of weapons.
But hey, my character entered Argus 2 days ago. On completing the first quest chain, they give you an ilvl 52 relic. Woohoo! I got an epic upgrade. The only difference was the color of the text. They must think we’re stupid.
Post SL-launch they had artifacts (without relics) start at 20. Then if you happened to get ilvl 50 or 60 relics it gave +16 or +20 to your weapon each.
But at the end of August, blizzard put out a hotfix to have artifacts scale to level capping out at ilvl 58. Last I checked on like end of September that was not active on ptr, and also you can see what your old artifact ilvl was before this recent hotfix by linking your artifact in chat on live.
I know what my artifacts were before this most recent hotfix to make them worthless.
The issue I’m pointing out is that people who had titanforged mythic raid relics had their artifacts nerfed to 70 when SL started. I had a lot of characters that went out and re-earned warforged relics. When in the past was gear reset in a big nerf but you could go out and regrind it? And of course now, artifacts are worthless. You could run 20 dungeons and not see a single relic. And they are the only source of weapons for players in Legion content, even as they continue to make normal dungeons harder. Good job.
That’s been corrected. IT was unintentional to allow that to happen. Won’t be a thing.
