why was this removed??

It’s a bug, idk if you know this or not but the last patch just about broke everything that’s not related to the online store…

This drives me nuts, at least before I could do my artifact weapon… unwelcomed change for sure.

I used to be able to mog into my staff artifact regardless of what weapon i had equipped. why was this removed??

I’m not sure they were removed or just merged into the standard staff appearances. On my priest I no longer see a choice for “Legion Artifact Weapons” but those appearances do show up under “Staves” (four in the yellow box).

Weirdly enough, on my paladin I still see a drop-down choice for “Legion Artifacts”, but those same appearances now also seem to merged in their respective weapon types (e.g., my Ashbringer shows under both Legion Artifacts and Two-Handed Swords).

I wasn’t able to check mogging a Staff into say a Dagger (cross weapon types). If that’s an issue I’d say it was a bug that should be reported in the Bug Forums (or in-game).

Edit: I submitted a bug report in-game pointing to this thread. The more that do that, the more likely it will get noticed/prioritized.

For some of us its weapon type based. I can see the Mog on my feral only when using daggers, If I have My staff/Polearm Equip then I only see Staff/Polearms.

No, the ‘Legion Artifacts’ mog option is entirely missing for some players.

Yeah it’s missing for me as well. I just happen to have a staff on so I can still use mine.

Maybe they just removed the ability to mog over different weapon types?

If that was true, the guardian artifact appearance could no longer be used for transmog, as it’s designed to be dual wielding fist weapons, and guardians can’t dual wield fist weapons.

The monkey’s paw strikes again.

The fact that it’s a little different for everyone and not reliably working OR broken almost certainly indicates a bug. There have been multiple threads in the Bugs section but no response. Blizzards official help guide still indicates artifact weapons SHOULD be ignoring general restrictions.

Legion artifacts no longer ignore general restrictions and more

Title sums it up! Legion artifact weapons are no longer ignoring general restrictions — for example, you can no longer mog a legion sword over a mace or a staff over a dagger. Additionally, there are some other strange glitches. If you attempt to circumvent this, you will end up with strange interactions. I loaded up a previous mog that had a legion staff set over a one hand before this feature broke. I now have the legion staff on my back, the legion staff sheathed on my hip, AND have my o…

Responses rarely ever happen in Bug Reports. It’s there to report the bugs so they can log them if they’re legitimate, but they don’t communicate back.

I suppose I meant more in the sense of like…not being added to the known bugs list? Although there are so many I can understand why they don’t want to do that.
