Hidden Artifact Appearances for Paladins (Hidden Potential) | WoW Guide

[@aar021]

Thanks a lot! Got me all three already. Very clear guide, awesome job.

[@GandalinGaming]

Thanks so much! Congrats on getting all 3 of your hidden appearances!

[@jlovedown]

Your voice is so informative that my mom mistook me watching your video for studying for my exams. Thanks Gandalin

[@GandalinGaming]

hahaha That’s awesome!! 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@FriendWithADemon]

A very well written and talked step by step guide , a few things to consider for the retri spec , you should buy the books from the AH it is a lot easier , and after the book is complete take it to the prince , after that kill the dragon and give him the head ( that sound weird :D ) , because when I went to him with that guys head and the book he took them both but the quest only registered that I gave him only the book so I had to wait another week to complete the quest .

[@GandalinGaming]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for adding your tips to help others!

[@TS4LoveYablo]

years later finally getting these thx to you and your vids. appreciate the work you put into these.

[@GandalinGaming]

So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@MaxAntsiferov]

A little update of september 3rd 2019 for anyone wondering if it still works-It does. Just be ready to loot A LOT of enemy players in AV. You can get the book on any class,I got mine by playing AV on my main Mage And be prepared for lots of fishing casts. Good luck

[@GandalinGaming]

Thanks for the update!

[@kaizoulol]

Max Antsiferov I just bought mine for like 2k gold. Then I went and farmed DM.

[@Minimeister317]

Got the holy one without even knowing how to get it, the prot one took me roughly 5 attempts, and have yet to give the corrupted ashbringer a try

[@zaishijunior9455]

I also got the Holy like that

[@jujukissling2520]

these are the videos i like when looking for what exactly to do.. not just this is it here ya go! love it

[@GandalinGaming]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@hamzax89]

To be honest this is the best wow guide i ever saw! Gj my friend

[@GandalinGaming]

Thank you so much!

[@davidpumpkins2045]

I don't even play paladin but I can't resist Gandalin's guides.

[@GandalinGaming]

haha I'm flattered!

[@Alycanj]

wow the ret chain is a long one indeed, gonna start it today , thanks so much for the clear details, you're the man..

[@GandalinGaming]

+Dangerna Yeah, Ret is one of the most complicated ones. But it's a little easier now than it was originally.

[@IC_Liquid]

Can you just buy 2 books?

[@GandalinGaming]

Neither book is soulbound, so in theory, yes, you could buy them off the AH, but they could be very expensive.

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, there is an interesting thing where if you unlock the tints of the other one, those tints will be unlocked for the other appearances as well, but not the base form. Not sure if this is intended or not.

[@GMKalandar]

let me add your content about prot appearence. If you kill the giant spider and loot the final chest in the suramar minigame, the prot appearence has 100% drop chance. Another thing is, the holy appearemce can drop from ANY eredar. ot can be in argus, for example. Great stuff, thax for the video :D

[@GandalinGaming]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Yaffo43]

Shard of Darkness first cast :) great video Appreciate the guides. keep up the work

[@GandalinGaming]

That's awesome! Congrats! And I'm glad I could help!

[@mike-wazowski8803]

Did you have to kill the slime?

[@GandalinGaming]

He would have. Nothing has changed about the way you get the appearance.

[@kittycat4378]

Thank you so much for the guide it was incredibly helpful!

[@GandalinGaming]

[@michaelbrewer2411]

No joke, finished the ret hidden skin within an hour. The slime spawn within 10 minutes of my arrival and then I was able to fish up the diamond within 15! Lucky

We miss you gandalin!!

[@GandalinGaming]

aww You're so sweet! I miss making videos! I might be making one soon though! :D

[@robertmeuir9476]

do you have to be on the ret spec to obtain the books and complete the chain of events

[@GandalinGaming]

You only have to be in Ret spec to talk to Sister Elda. You won't see the right conversation options otherwise. But you can be in any spec for the books or any of the rest of the chain.

[@robertmeuir9476]

Thanks for responding... I got the appearance after 95 cast fishing so it was all worth it

[@GandalinGaming]

Congrats! Enjoy your new appearance!

[@MaxAntsiferov]

Literally spending 1h in queue to get into AV, then lose and not get any drop :\ Quick question,does the book drop only to Pals? Or you can get it dropped with any class and then send it to your pal?

[@GandalinGaming]

I think it can be looted by anyone. It’s not soulbound, so it could be mailed or put on the AH.

[@MaxAntsiferov]

@@GandalinGaming Alright thanks!

[@The_Bearded_One]

Can you use a Thoroughly Read copy of Nat Pagle's? via the AH.

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, you can! Sorry I didn't mention that in the video! They can be expensive, but it will work for the appearance!

[@The_Bearded_One]

YaY! thanks man.

[@GandalinGaming]

My pleasure!

[@Ambo_Izior]

Thank you for this guide. just wanted to check, when i'm trying to loot the item for holy spec as retri, I need to have the looting spec setup to holy, right?

[@GandalinGaming]

Nope! Your loot spec doesn’t matter! You can be in any spec with any loot spec to get the item. Purely RNG.

[@Ambo_Izior]

Gandalin thank you!!! This is really good to know

[@GandalinGaming]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@wobble6778]

Super helpfull guide! (as allways) got my shard of darkness on my 69th (nice) attempt and i also made this macro in case you want to check if you have done everything else needed before you start fishing for the shard If all four lines return true, you're ready! /run local p,q,t=print,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted,tostring p('Talked to Prince Tortheldrin: '..t(q(43682)))p('Talked to Alexia/Bardu: '..t(q(43683)))p('Slime can drop Timolain: '..t(q(43684)))p('Shard can be fished up: '..t(q(43685)))

[@GandalinGaming]

Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for posting the macro. I'm sure people will find it useful!

[@mathasmelin1471]

Sooo, ive watched the guide multiple times now, and i must say its really good!! i only have problems with getting in to Alterac Valley BG.... ive been in que for nearly 3 hours now :( .... btw any direct news on if they did lower the droprate for the crystal in the lake? if yes how many casts is normal to get it on now :)?

[@GandalinGaming]

I'm glad you like my guide! As for AV, the queue can be ridiculously long at times. I had the same issue and unfortunately don't have much of a suggestion for you. :/ As for the shard, no direct news, but I've seen several people comment that they got it in relatively few casts, so I think they definitely increased the drop chance. Unfortunately, I don't have enough data to give you an average cast number. :( Sorry I can't be more helpful!

[@mathasmelin1471]

Hey man its all good, your guide is extremely helpfull nonetheless :) do you know anything about the drop chance of the book though in AV? i have finally managed to get into 1 AV today, but unfortunantly didnt get it :(

[@GandalinGaming]

Also not a ton of data on that one. I had to do 3 or 4 I think before I got it just from completing AV. You can also loot it off enemy player corpses, but that's kinda unreliable.

[@mathasmelin1471]

ok ty so much for the answers, i ended up buying 1 from AH ahah, but now im ofcourse having tons of trouble entering black wing lair.... i made a mistake on first boss and died to the eggs... now i cant enter again

[@GandalinGaming]

I don't blame you for buying the book. AV is tough sometimes. haha That's odd about BWL though. Not sure why you wouldn't be able to enter.

[@sofagames7612]

Nice video. Thank you. I wonder how ppl are finding these stuff xD, its amazing :D.

[@GandalinGaming]

It really is cool how they figured it out. I’m looking forward to seeing what secrets Shadowlands holds.

[@matthiaskluckner2505]

Hello Gandalin and thanks for your amazing & effective guide, can u tell me the name of that mod which tells you whenever you enter or leave combat?

Do you need all of the other artifact weapon variants to unlock the last one? Because I finished the process of getting the heart corruption but it didn’t show up in my collections

[@GandalinGaming]

No, all of the variants are independent. Sometimes, you need to relog to see the artifact appearance in your collection.

[@Leolithic]

Hey thanks for this man, really was clear and to the point. Cheers!

[@GandalinGaming]

Thanks so much! I’m glad it was helpful!

[@chiefrainman4566]

I saw this after legion so u can tget artifact power anymore so do u just have to skip that step and go right to farming the drops?

[@GandalinGaming]

Yeah you don’t have to worry about Artifact Knowledge anymore! And any level 110 requirements are now level 45. Other than that, everything is the same.

Do I have to be in Proc Specc in order to get the hidden appearance of Proc in Withered Army Training, or is it okay with being Ret Specc and than do it?

[@alexrko7856]

If I looted the slime and I didn’t have the fishing skill when I ported back and killed it again it didn’t drop the item so that mean’s I have to do it again from the beginning ?

[@GandalinGaming]

You have to do everything in order or the slime won't drop the item. Double check you've done all the steps.

[@nerdwhitenerd]

Sister Elda wont talk to me or continue the quest. I am in ret spec, i have the 2 nat pagle books, i have nefarians head in my bags. What else do i need?

[@GandalinGaming]

The only other thing I can think of is that you're not at least 110 yet.

[@ralkaurr406]

i have a question with the shard of darkness needs the mage to make to be active. sorry for my bad english :P

[@GandalinGaming]

You need to talk to the mage first. Then you can fish up the Shard. The mage does not need to be there when you fish it up, you just have to talk to him once. I hope that helps!

[@ralkaurr406]

yes it helps me alot thanks :D

hi mate . I got the truthgard and wanted the protection mace appearance like draenei mace and shield purple one. I got the spark today byt turned the truthgard from normal to pink(sword and shield ) not the mace and shield .What am I doing wrong ?

[@GandalinGaming]

Legion artifacts are a bit strange when it comes to transmog. If you use the Legion Artifacts dropdown, it will transmog everything to be like it was in Legion, with matching pieces. If you want to separate the appearances, you can just look through the normal mace/sword/shield lists in the transmog window and transmog things separately. Hope that helps!

[@Dis4b3L]

@@GandalinGaming hi thanks for the respond . Had to go back to dalaran do the first few quests to introduce me to the paladin hall , than put the teythguard to the table and there I could see the appearance . Than from the table choosing the appearance and than wait like 5 -10 min to unlock on my transmog . Hope that helps new people like me that started on shadowlands or after

[@GandalinGaming]

Glad you figured it out and thanks for the info!

[@JoaoOliveira-pl2fv]

This might be a dumb question. But can you still get it bfa, and xmog your weapon into it? Can you get the other appearences aswell?

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, you can still get all of the hidden appearances! Once you earn them, log out and back in and they'll appear as a special "Legion Artifacts" dropdown in your weapon transmogs tab.

[@JoaoOliveira-pl2fv]

@@GandalinGaming Thanks for the answer! Therefore, is it possible to farm the other skins ? Like the campaign, and stuff ?

[@GandalinGaming]

[@GandalinGaming]

Thank you! I knew they were tricky to find, so I had to include them! :)

[@rainer8690]

Do i need to be holy in order to drop the book or can be done as ret?

[@GandalinGaming]

You can be in any spec to have the Holy appearance book drop from demons. I'd suggest farming eredar on Argus. They seem to have a better drop chance than the ones on the Broken Isles.

[@Roamingfirebat]

What about the shattered ash bringer ?

[@GandalinGaming]

Unfortunately, the shattered Ashbringer look was unlocked from the Mage Tower challenges, which are no longer available. :/

[@Vadmiralvalk]

Gandalin i know its kinda late for this but i gave in the nefarian head for a quest on my paladin what shall i do plz

[@GandalinGaming]

You can loot the head again, you just can't do the quest it gives you multiple times. You just need to wait for the raid reset to get it again. Hope that helps!

[@leoexgb3219]

I mained a pally in Legion. Somehow, I acquired all 3 of these appearances on my own. I dont even remember doing it!

The ashbringer one was such a pain. Glad i was done with it long ago.

It’s certainly one of the more complex hidden appearances.

[@crimson1931]

I want the blue flamed ashbringer but have no idea how to get it 😞

[@GandalinGaming]

You can always go to the artifact forge in your class hall to see where to get other appearances. To get that one, you need to complete the Balance of Power questline on at least one character on your account (I have a video for that too!). Then you'll need to complete the Unleashed Monstrosities achievement on at least one character on your account. You have to defeat at least 8 of the Legion world bosses. Hope that helps!

Is the protection skin guaranteed to drop? I have the artifact I got 480 points then killed my self and opened the chest but the spark did not drop?

[@GandalinGaming]

Sorry for the late reply. Not getting comment notifications for some reason. To answer your question, no the Prot skin is not a guaranteed drop, though there is supposed to be some bad luck protection on it, so keep doing the Withered scenario every 3 days and you'll see it eventually.

can you still get the asbringer??

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, even after Legion you will still be able to get the Ashbringer artifact weapon. It won't be useful outside Legion content, but you can still get it.

[@blindmofo1111]

Do you need to have the artifact in your backpack? I haven't unlocked the Holy artifact weapons but im trying to get the hidden appearance and it isnt dropping at all....

[@GandalinGaming]

You know, I'm actually not sure. My guess would be that you have to have unlocked the artifact in order to get the appearance to drop. But even if you got it without unlocking the weapon, you wouldn't be able to use it without the weapon. My advice would be to get the weapon and then try again.

[@mlody12345]

How do you obtain artifact knowledge is it possible in BFA ?

Legion Artifact Knowledge is now permanently maxed out, so you already have the required level for all hidden appearances.

I'll add it to the list for this week. I should mention that one of the shaman appearances drops from Levantus, the world boss that is up this week in Azsuna. It's only up until weekly reset, so you might want to go grab that one! It requires knowledge level 4 to drop.

Grats on getting it so quickly! And thanks for the compliment! :)

[@sa_8293]

thx!!!

[@GandalinGaming]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@Criixus1]

Can you still get this ?

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, they’re all still obtainable, though the Ret appearance has a bit of a snag.

[@Criixus1]

What you mean can you get the ret one ?

[@GandalinGaming]

Yes, you can. However, if you’ve already completed the quest given by Nefarian’s head then it won’t drop for you anymore. You’ll have to open a ticket and ask a GM to give you a new version of the head so you can continue with the Ret quest line.

[@Criixus1]

Sweet I’ll have a crack at getting it tomorrow 👍

[@Criixus1]

Can you still get artifact knowledge levels tho ?

[@tentomdrummer]

11!!!! took me over 1200 casts

[@GandalinGaming]

Oof! That’s rough. But you’ve got it now!

[@tentomdrummer]

@@GandalinGaming thank you for all your guides! I'm working on the lucid nightmare right now. I've gotten almost all my hidden artifact appearances because of your guides. So thank you very much!

[@GandalinGaming]

It’s my pleasure! Glad they’re helping you!

[@Bandoks]

Took me over 3k cast to get the shard a long time ago.

[@GandalinGaming]

oof, that's rough.

[@nikv6627]

You are awesome!

[@GandalinGaming]

haha Thanks! And you're awesome for watching! :)

[@Xurex]

The slime wont spawn :(

[@GandalinGaming]

It does have a pretty random spawn timer. Some people have reported waiting several hours. You could try turning Warmode on. It’s a different shard so it may be up there. But make sure you’ve completed all the previous steps before you kill him otherwise he won’t drop what you need.

[@Joshua-dw3pw]

Why the fuck would you not say that you can buy the books off of the AH?

[@Gotchakidney]

for the shard it took me 94 casts smh lol

[@Gotchakidney]

which i did this in BFA so you are able to get it still

[@mikepeterson4061]

It took me 76 casts to get it out of the river in 2021

[@GandalinGaming]

Congrats!

[@dokcso]

Took me 35 casts:)

[@GandalinGaming]

That’s awesome! Congrats!

[@diSlikemee]

My stroy TL;DR with this skin. Buy Net Pagle books on AH Kill Nefa Do a class trial char and find a rare mob, group invite your pally Disable autoloot when fishing and done. I do this and i got the skin from zero in 1 hour only.

[@loky4000]

The neon green outline really ruins this one, imo. It goes from being something demonic and dangerous to looking like a toy.

[@GandalinGaming]

:/ I'm sorry. There's always the other tints for it.

[@loky4000]

Not your fault, but yeah there's plenty to chose from :P

[@Derek-gc3rb]

I'm missing legion already :///

[@GandalinGaming]

It was a great expansion.

[@seranahoshimiya8017]

I went to argus and got holy secret on the 9th demon i killed

[@GandalinGaming]

That's awesome! Congrats!

[@Xshifto]

took me longer to wait for the slime to spawn than everything else combined. :/

[@GandalinGaming]

I'm sorry! Seems like it's still pretty random how long it spawns.

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

FYI, you can't get this anymore since Nefarion's head doesn't drop anymore. RIP.

[@GandalinGaming]

There are 2 possibilities here. 1) The head doesn’t drop if you already have it somewhere in your bag or bank so check carefully. 2) If you’re certain you don’t have it, then this is definitely a bug and you should submit a report.

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

@@GandalinGaming Thanks for the response. I just spoke directly with a GM. They confirmed it was a change introduced in patch 8.1.5. The head no longer drops. As a result, it is now impossible to acquire this appearance. The only way around it was for the GM to mail me the head directly to my paladin.

[@GandalinGaming]

Wow. I’m really surprised they did this. Thanks for the info though.

[@GandalinGaming]

So, I just did a little experiment with the Head and it seems like it no longer drops if you have completed the quest. So your only choice would be to contact a GM to get a new one for the appearance. Unfortunate change.

[@seranahoshimiya8017]

I got holy on Argus during the first quests
