15 Linus ATM on preview , for a matter of comparison at the time of taking the screenshot I have a lvl 40 Black ice artifact belt on so you can see how much more powerful the new items are -
Since it looks like we'll be getting a new MH and OH for linu's (at least for the off-hand), and I don't see any reaction from the Cryptic, I'm expect as a long term pattern that any RP's that I invest in any artifact weapon/belt/cloak/off-hand is water down a rat-hole (the pattern of obsoleting RP based gears is now in play). So unlocks, augmentation cubes, stat boosts on unlocks are all going to be wasted over the medium term (1-2 modules). So looking forward to module 7, given this pattern, which gets obsoleted/superseded next? From my perspective it's time to not put RP into these items (since I don't pvp anymore).
I really hope I'm misreading the situation and there is a reasonable upgrade path.
So, I'd been thinking about leveling my cloak & belt of Lathander (my GWF has an Eye already), during the 2*rp weekend. Looks like no point.
First thing in, I checked WoD, and was disappointed.
And for those still not convinced that the lvl 60 stuff is being replaced , here is what that junk is worth now lmfao -
Screw this, I got the imperial cloak 3 days ago since I saw the new off-hands change I thought it would be a safer bet to get the neck piece with my linu's.
I'm all for a new, better piece of gear, but don't just make it worthless like that and make our efforts useless.
I spent quite a few days in that painful Tiamat <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, with more fails than successes, leave the old stuff at same prie and make the new pieces more expensive.
I wonder what their idea of the progression might be. That people actually get and refine a set of 60 artifact gear and then a set of 70?
I mean it would make sense if they would give a decent amount of RP like Artifacts so you could effectively farm the campaigns, but buying those pretty much makes no sense.
They are really driving this game into the ground. I took a week break since I was on vacation and the inclination to play since coming back has been close to none. While I understand new major expansions means new gear and replacing the old, the whole refining this and that is getting entirely depressing.
Well, there is still some hope left for those who insisted there would not be a level 70 artifact belt... before we have a close encounter of the belt kind.
as far as main hands look at dragon artifact that we make with dragon gems claws and steel in the campain
we get 1 lv 70 of our choice and a random lv 60 weapon
no way to see the new wepon yet but there is the proff we are getting them
also look at each campain store and see all the old cloaks and belts
I have now refined a main-hand, off-hand, cloak, belt, and three artifacts to Legendary only to see them replaced within a few months of them being released. I have no motivation whatsoever to start over refining an entire new batch of slightly better equipment.
Why would I when the new stuff is just going to be replaced in a few months?
It says it's a CHOICE between the lvl 70 one or the box that has the lvl 60 ones. ToD store under Artifact Weapons just has the lvl 60 ones that cost 6 shards.

Use them to refine into the new ones , preferably on a 2X RP weekend , at least that way you will get a fairly reasonable amount of RP back.
You said that I can get them through the old Tod Campaign. Does this mean that the level 60 artifact weapons will be obsolete and completely replaced by the new level 70 ones or I would have the option to choose between them? If so, are the materials needed to make the level 70 artifact equip the same as the old level 60 artifact MainHand?

Still hoping there is some way to upgrade from lvl 60 to 70 other than starting over lol
The prizes for 60 cloaks went up in the wake of double RP weekend and people are wasting RP right now. I don't know, that doesn't feel right.

The same way you got the old one , run the task in the ToD campaign tree and you can get the lvl 70 mainhand ,it takes 20 hours though.
Whats going to happen with the Old artifact weapons??
Dragon Bones, gems right? Well, least I didn't waste ALL of em... -_-
