Heart of Azeroth. Heart of Azeroth: Artifact Review, Azerite Armor and Knowledge Levels
The Legion expansion has ended and with it the era of artifacts. They are replaced by the Heart of Azeroth necklace and Azerite armor. Read about what it is in this guide.
The guide is based on information from the beta Battle for Azeroth, so some things may change after the expansion is released.
Video version of the guide
Most likely, in addition to this guide, you will also find tips on how to quickly level up your character to level 120.
Azerite
Let's start with what Azerite is. After Sargeras struck Azeroth with his sword Gorribal, a substance - Azerite - began to flow from the planet's body. This substance is the crystallized blood of Azeroth, a Titan, trapped in the depths of the planet. Azerite is a substance with special properties. This is the blood of Titan, that is, a source of secret magic that can be used to make machines and mechanisms, as well as weapons. After the Burning Legion was defeated and the danger was eliminated, the Horde and the Alliance returned to their old ways - war. Azerite in this war became one of the main means for achieving world domination.
However, there is one interesting point here - it is not yet clear whether Azerite is a good thing. Yes, this seems to be the blood of the Titan of Azeroth, but remember the expression on Anduin’s face when the head of Stormwind’s spies showed him a piece of Azerite. In fact, Azerite is not only a means, but also the cause of a new round of war between the Alliance and the Horde. It is quite possible that N’Zoth managed to reach the dormant Titan and now her essence carries a particle of the powers of the Abyss. However, this is just fan speculation for now.
Heart of Azeroth
What is the Heart of Azeroth? This is a necklace that was given to Azeroth itself. It is capable of absorbing and storing Azerite. Magni Bronzebeard (after a short quest that cannot be avoided) gives it to us so that we can collect this substance to subsequently heal Azeroth. It can already be assumed that most likely the Heart of Azeroth will face the same fate as the artifact weapon. At the end of the expansion, all the Azerite we have accumulated will need to be returned to Azeroth. Although, again, these are just guesses. For now you need to know the following:
- we will carry the Heart of Azeroth until the very end of the expansion;
- the source of Azerite can be both its “deposits” and other animate and not so animate objects;
- Azerite absorption occurs automatically: when you are near the source of the substance or by killing a mob, you automatically receive a certain amount of this substance;
- As you absorb essence, your necklace will gain new levels;
- The levels of the necklace will determine what additional properties (traits) of Azerite armor you can unlock.
Where do you get Azerite from? Below are the main sources:
- rarniks;
- local tasks;
- azerite veins;
- rewards for completing dungeons;
- dungeon bosses;
- rewards for completing sea expeditions.
And now more about Azerite armor.
Azerite Armor
There is a new type of armor in Battle for Azeroth - Azerite. This armor has unique properties. As mentioned above, these properties can be unlocked by upgrading the necklace. This happens as follows. If a piece of Azerite armor fell to you and your artifact level allows you to unlock additional properties, then by clicking on the item you can open a special window. In it you see this interface:
We have several tiers of additional abilities that we can choose from, with the exception of the last one. Currently, Azerite armor is represented by a helmet, shoulder pads, and a chest piece. One more important detail: these items can be different both in level and in the set of traits. In other words, you can knock out different pieces of armor to gain access to different traits. These additional properties of Azerite armor can be viewed in the dungeon journal. Items with the same name but different levels will have the same additional properties. Blue, which will drop during leveling and in dungeons for five people, has two “rings” of traits, and epics from Mythic+ and raids have three. The last “talent” cannot be chosen and usually it simply adds points to the item level. As the level of items increases, the requirements for the level of the Heart of Azeroth also increase. In other words, if you can open the traits of a “leveled” blue at levels 3-5, then to unlock the first tier on an epic from Uldir you need the 16th, and the last – the 25th.
In one of the beta builds, NPCs were added to the game that can change the layout of traits. Therefore, if you don’t like something, you can replay it. These good NPCs are the Ethereals, which can be found in Boralus and Zuldazar. Everything works quite simply. You come to the ethereal, open the window, put an item there and reset talents for a small amount. After this, you can reassign all additional properties.
It should be noted that Azerite armor does not only vary in terms of item level. Different pieces of armor have different sets of talents. Naturally, for different cases it will be possible to wear different armor and achieve a certain variety of additional properties, which can also be reassigned. We'll see how interesting the system will be, because it's too early to judge. Players' first impressions of the traits were not very clear.

In Battle for Azeroth, this artifact will be common to all specializations of our class, and not for each one separately, as it was in Legion.
Heart of Azeroth Enhancement
The strengthening scheme for the Heart of AZeroth is somewhat reminiscent of the artifacts in the Legion. We will also collect some Azerite. Thanks to him, we will increase the level of our necklace. At the very beginning it will be level 280. For each improvement we will receive +2 to the item level. At certain stages of leveling up, new skills on equipment will become available to us.
How to find out what level our Heart of Azeroth is? In the equipment slot where our necklace is located, it is indicated by a number.
Where to get the Heart of Azeroth
How to get the Heart of Azeroth? It’s simple, in addition, we immediately receive a starting quest for it in the capital. The quest chain to obtain it is quite simple. Therefore, you will not have any problem in getting the necklace.
Azerite Armor
The Azerite armor that will give us bonuses consists of 3 things - Head, Shoulders and Body. The way the system will work is that you need to reach a certain Heart of Azeroth level to unlock new skills.
- Thus, Rare items have three levels of Azerite skill slots.
- Epic items have four Azerite skill slots.
Also, Azeri armor is not exchangeable. Right-click on armor to open the skill selection menu.
Here we have two epic quality items, level 355 Azerite Armor. As you can see from the screenshots, he has four Azerite skill slots that are not immediately available because they require a certain level of Heart of Azeroth to unlock. And for each piece of equipment, as we see, the numbers will be different.
As we see on Rob, to obtain the first skill we need level 17 of the Heart of Azeroth. While for the shoulders you already need at least level 18.
Azerite Skills
As we can see, things will have 4 skill slots located on 3 circles and one in the middle of our menu. Each slot has a specific skill specificity
Tier 1 (outer circle) contains specialization skills, PVP skills, PVE skills, and skills for different zones
Tier 2 (middle circle) will contain class skills depending on your role, that is, Damagers will receive skills to increase damage, healers to improve healing, and tanks to improve survivability/
Tier 3 (inner circle) serves for defensive and utility skills.
Tier4 (middle) it always has the same single skill that increases the level of an item by 5 units.
How to reset Azerite Skills
You can reset selected skills from special NPCs located in their locations
- For the Horde, this will be Nadara the Reforger located in Zuldazar, in the Grand Bazaar area, next to the transmog.
- For the Alliance, this will be Razzie the Incarnator, which is located in Tiragarde Sound in Boralus, right next to the market
You also need to know that the reset is not free. And for each subsequent one you will pay more and more money. Therefore, be careful and judicious when choosing skills.

At the very beginning of the new expansion, Magni Bronzebeard gives each player Heart of Azeroth. This is an artifact that allows you to enhance special items of equipment, the so-called Azerite armor. In this guide, we will tell you about the Heart of Azeroth and how to improve it using the power of the artifact. You will also learn what knowledge about an artifact is and how it affects the amount of artifact power received.
Who is Azeroth?
In the depths of the planet called Azeroth lives a mysterious creature called the “soul of the world.” It is believed that this creature, which is also called Azeroth, surpasses in strength all the titans of the Pantheon and even Sargeras himself. After the defeat of the Burning Legion on Argus, Sargeras inflicted a terrible wound on Azeroth by plunging his sword into the planet. The heroes' victory was overshadowed. Returning home, they saw the huge sword of Sargeras sticking out of the ground in Silithus. The dark energy of the sword seeped into the bowels of the planet and poisoned Azeroth. The soul of the world was dying, and the heroes had to heal it at all costs.
How to get the Heart of Azeroth
After Sargeras' blow, Azeroth bled to death. She asked Magni Bronzebeard to find a hero who could help her, and offered help in return. Magni Bronzebeard led level 110 players to the Hall of Heart and gave each of them a Heart of Azeroth. Magni told the players to keep the amulet with them at all times, while he set out to find ways to heal the planet. Since then, the Heart of Azeroth has allowed Magni to telepathically communicate with players and relay orders to them.
Magni Bronzebeard: "The voice of Azeroth grows weaker by the minute. If the seal that protects this chamber fails, the soul of Azeroth will be lost! We have the only chance left to save all that is dear to us. Absorb the Azerite that is in this chamber with the help of Hearts of Azeroth. Then release the power of the amulet to close the crack in the center of the hall. Azerite brings destruction, but if you channel its power through the amulet, it can heal our world!"
To complete this storyline, you must complete the Battle for Lordaeron scenario, which was added to the game in the prepatch.

Heart of Azeroth Level
Initially, the Heart of Azeroth has the first Azerite level and item level 280. The Heart of Azeroth can be strengthened by collecting Azerite, which gives artifact power. Unlike Legion, in Battle for Azeroth the power of the artifact is absorbed directly by the Heart of Azeroth, and items that provide this power do not take up space in bags.
Having gained a certain amount of artifact power, the Heart of Azeroth receives a new Azerite level and +2 units. to item level. To obtain each subsequent Azerite level of the Heart of Azeroth, more and more artifact power is required:
- From level 1 to 10, the amount of artifact power required to upgrade the Heart of Azeroth increases linearly.
- After level 10, each subsequent Azerite level requires 30% more artifact power, which makes it easy to calculate the threshold value above which the increase will be minimal.

In addition to the immediate stat bonus, leveling up the Heart of Azeroth allows you to gain access to talents on Azerite armor.
Artifact Knowledge
In Battle for Azeroth, we again saw the Artifact Knowledge mechanic, which will allow lagging players to level up the Heart of Azeroth faster. Unlike the start of Legion, in Battle for Azeroth knowledge about the artifact will automatically trigger at the beginning of each week, meaning you won't have to log into the game every few days and place orders.
Each subsequent level of Artifact Knowledge increases the speed of pumping the Heart of Azeroth by 30%, but instead of increasing the amount of power received, it reduces the requirements for obtaining Heart of Azeroth levels, which avoids too high numbers.
The exact values for each knowledge level are presented below.
At the start of Battle for Azeroth, the level of knowledge about the artifact is 1. The next week, the level of knowledge increases to 2, but this does not affect the values. Next, the levels and their corresponding values look like this:

Magni Bronzebeard: "The soul of this world grows stronger, hero. But the fight is not over yet. Azeroth suffers from wounds, it becomes difficult to control itself. You have proven your loyalty to Azeroth. I thank you for your deeds! I sense great power in your amulet. Azeroth calls to us! She wants the heart you carry with you to become even stronger. Are you ready?
Respect
Magni Bronzebeard: "Your amulet has become even stronger, but to unlock its full potential, we need to get even closer to Azeroth. Heart Chamber! I know things didn't go well the last time you were there. Let's try again . I think now we will be able to heal the wounds of our world."
Avid players of the legendary World of Warcraft probably already know that the new addition will not include artifacts for various classes, as well as artifact powers and the Netherlight Crucible. They will be replaced by the “Heart of Azeroth” artifact amulet. Which will accompany players throughout the entire expansion. A reasonable question arises: what will happen to the existing legendaries?
Firstly, those legendaries that you have now will most likely be abolished or simply deleted. That is, they become irrelevant and, compared to new items, are seriously inferior in strength.
And secondly, no matter what the bonus from the legendary item is, the banal difference in starts will be felt more strongly. Therefore, you will have no options. You'll have to replace your legendaries with the green stuff of the new addition.
What improves the Heart of Azeroth Necklace?
As the developers announced, the “Heart of Azeroth” is a mixture of an artifact and a legendary, an item that will change as you progress and level up in the game. In fact, the interface is slightly changed, but overall it resembles an artifact. That is, this is a one-of-a-kind unique item throughout the entire expansion. You will not have any other legendaries or special items. One necklace that enhances other items you wear has its own special talents and enhancements. It seems that this will be much more convenient than artifacts, because, judging by its weight, the necklace is not tied to a specific spectrum, which means you will not become a slave to local quests or one specialization. There should always be a choice of spectrum without significant loss of power. In the legion you have to download several specs for different needs, which is very inconvenient.
So how can you upgrade your Heart of Azeroth necklace?
The necklace will be upgraded with a new resource - the so-called “Azerite”. Azerite is given for various activities in high-level content. This will be something like an essence for a legendary. That is, you went to the dungeon, did some whips, world quests, went to Battle Ground, went to a new scenario and got some of this Azerite. Then, with the help of it, you opened a new level in the necklace and run calmly further.
It is not yet known how strong the talents and abilities will be, more information will appear a little later. It’s also worth adding a few words about battle-hardened items and items forged by titans - they remain in the game, since the developers are satisfied with the current state of affairs. However, as the creators of the add-on said, this still needs work.
We have prepared a guide to the Heart of Azeroth in WOW. We'll tell you what an artifact is, how to get it and upgrade it, how to get Azerite for the Heart of Azeroth, and much more.
As the story progresses, Magni will ask the player to keep the medallion nearby at all times while they search for ways to heal the damage caused by Sargeras' sword. Thanks to the amulet, Magni can maintain a telepathic connection with the player.
Important information: To unlock the Heart of Azeroth quest chain, you must first complete the Battle for Lordaeron scenario, which has been available since pre-patch 8.0.1.
A series of quests for the Heart of Azeroth:
- A Short-Lived Peace: Speak with Anduin Wrynn / Hour of Reckoning: Speak with High Overlord Saurfang.
- Battle for Lordaeron: Complete the Battle for Lordaeron storyline.
- A Dying World: Meet Magni Bronzebeard in Silithus.
- The Heart of Azeroth: Proceed to the Chamber of Heart and speak with Azeroth.
- Heart Empowerment: Consume Azerite to empower the Heart of Azeroth.
Artifact level
When you receive the Heart of Azeroth artifact, its level will be 1, and its ilvl will be 280. You can increase these levels by collecting Azerite - it will be automatically absorbed by the amulet when you are near its source.
All Azerite absorbed guarantees a certain amount of Artifact Power.
- from level 1 to 10 of the item required to upgrade the Heart of Azeroth, the amount of artifact power required increases linearly: +50 for each level (300, 350, 400, 450, etc.)
- after level 10, each subsequent level will require 30% more artifact power than the previous one - 750, 1160, 1730, 2530, etc. Thus, to level up to level 20 you will need 19400 artifact power.
Important: The Heart of Azeroth will need to be leveled up if you want to unlock Azerite armor upgrades and new Azerite talents.
Below is a table with the level of Azerite, the amount of experience for pumping and the level of the Heart of Azeroth item.

Base item level – 280 Artifact Knowledge
The concept of Artifact Knowledge has returned to the game in Battle for Azeroth in a new form. The difference with the Legion is that now Knowledge about the artifact is automatically awarded to all characters during maintenance, and there is no need for each of them to log into the game and collect scrolls daily.
Some things have remained unchanged - each level of Knowledge about the artifact still increases the speed of pumping the artifact (in this case, the Heart of Azeroth) by 30%.
However, there is an important difference - in Legion the amount of artifact power received increased, while in Battle for Azeroth, on the contrary, the amount of artifact power needed to pump up is reduced. That is, technically, Knowledge about the artifact increases the pumping speed by 30%, but this solution helps to avoid large, six-digit values.
How to get artifact power
In Battle for Azeroth, players will receive Azerite for almost all actions in new locations and events.
This will gradually open up access to new Azerite armor and unlock unique abilities associated with this armor.
Thus, to increase the level of the Heart of Azeroth, you simply need to collect Azerite in huge quantities.
