The World of Warcraft community site has been updated with a brief look at a new series of solo quests to gain a special artifact appearance. These quests will only be available during times on the Broken Shore when the Mage Tower is active -- which is only for three days before it is destroyed. Eligible players will receive a quest to take on a difficult opponent, a very difficult one that, when beaten will yield the new appearance.
This all comes at a premium, however. The first time players try to earn the appearance, entry to the encounter is free. If failed, subsequent attempts will cost Nethershards, a currency earned on the Broken Shore. Each failure will necessitate a higher number of Nethershards to try again.
This encounter will provide players with the opportunity to show their mastery of their class with a solo skill challenge. There are 7 different challenges available which are tailored to your class role. Each role’s challenge will vary slightly whether it’s healing a group of support npcs, tanking and keeping your group npcs from being killed, or straight dps to kill the boss. There’s no gear requirement, but you’re going to want to invest in getting the best gear you possibly can if you’re going to walk out of the encounter with a brand-new look for your weapon.
