Problem getting Lvl 70 Artifact Weapon?

I got to level 70 by running Fiery Pit over and over. It wasn't until after I hit level 70 that I found out completing Spinward Rise gives you a new level 70 artifact weapon. Or am I mistaken about this? Is the weapon not also an artifact?

I went back to Spinward Rise and turned in 16 Vigilance Quests. The quest that keeps track of how many quests I've done in Spinward Rise is no longer available since turning in all 16. Ditto for Fiery Pit - once I turned in all 16 it's no longer available. Someone told me you have to turn in 48 Vigilance Quests to get the weapon. I assumed this meant 48 Vigilance Quests from Spinward Rise. Or do they just mean 16 Vigilance Quests per new board to get it? Or is this something I'll have to contact Customer Support about?

    You have to complete the 16 vigilance quests in the last island of Spinward Rise to get the artifact weapon.

    1st island: Avia Landing -> complete 16 vigilance quests to get to next island.
    2nd island: Windcall Temple -> complete 16 vigilance quests to get to next island
    3rd island: Thunderhead Reach -> finish the 16 vigilance quests here and then the reward is the level 70 Elemental Evil Artifact Main Hand.

    Note: The obelisks next to the traveling portal unlock after each set of 16 vigilance quests (after you speak to the corresponding quest giver) allowing you quick travel to each island thereafter.

    there is an attunement quest between each set of 16 to activate the great obelisks that give you direct travel to islands 2 and 3 you must do 16 vigilance quests on all 3 islands then you grab the seed of air then you get the fire artifact and a green ring and green weapon from tree lady in town

    The quest to claim the air seed seems anti-climatic.... I expected some sort of epic fight to claim it; it was guarded by 3 mobs... and nothing really preventing one from getting there.

    You have to complete 3x16 vigilance quests in Spinward to get the weapon.

    The reward after the first two groups of 16 is that the obelisks for direct port to the other islands are opened. You need to do the first two groups of 16 to have the last group open up. (This corresponds to doing islands 1,2 and 3 in order)

    Once you turn in the quest for a group of 16, a new quest will be available on a different NPC in the area that will open the obelisks or give you the weapon. Just check the nearby questgivers.

    What's the min level for doing quests at Spinward? I went there as a lvl 63 and none of the npcs there had quests for me.

    I think the 16x3 was quiet enough.. quiet enough indeed ;) not to mention the 16x1,222,129 just to get to lvl 70 ;P when I picked up the quest I was like.. oh lawd.. this is gonna take forever.. but the mob wasn't even near and I hopped right past.. as I thought it can't be this easy.. oh snap.. it is. wewt! and then I thought "now what" - as it said "spinward complete" across the top.. =/

    I just came back to the game after an extended absence. I read in a blog post that you can convert your Golden Dragon weapons into the new Elemental weapons. Where and how do you accomplish this?

    Can't convert it directly but you can refine one into the other.

    You still need to get the level 70 artifact main (by finishing the last spinward rise vigilance tasks) and off-hand (level to 70 and speak to knox and then neverember).

    Refining the level 60 artifacts into the level 70 ones only give 40% of the refinement points back.
