The artists have a guideline of time they can spend on a weapon model based on the rarity, with an epic weapon taking something like three days.Most of the artifacts with one skin took around four days, with a couple hours for each color variation after that.The team initially thought doing artifacts would be great! Rather than creating tons of weapon models they would just have to do a few weapons per class and some color variants.
As the Artifact Weapon system was actually implemented, they realized a few weapons per class wouldn't work, they would have to weapons for each spec.After that they realized they would need multiple models and colors per spec.This ended up not saving them any time at all, probably costing some.It did allow them to really focus on each weapon and put lots of love and care into each one. Normally the team builds a weapon and moves on, but doing Artifacts allowed them to respond to player feedback, going back and adjusting color or theme to get things right.People have a fondness for the Vanilla armor sets.Those sets aren't very visually complex and didn't have high quality textures, but players became accustomed to wearing their set for a long time. You will have your Artifact for the entire expansion, so hopefully you will enjoy seeing it and the variations you can unlock.
