In Patch 7.3 Artifact researches have permanently become a weekly automatic process and players can not research manually anymore. Due to this change, the research scrolls have become grey trash items, and all of the information below is now obsolete.

Artifact Knowledge is a hidden currency that determines the rate at which you gain Artifact Power in Legion. There are 25 levels of Knowledge that you can research, each level adds a specific multiplier to your Artifact Power gains.

To start the research, visit your Order Hall, where the initial quest Hitting the Books will immediately become available on level 110. Placing a work order costs 500x Ressources de domaine and you can start 2 work orders at a time. As you loot the Recherches sur les armes prodigieuses it is placed into your bags and you can right click on it to consume. It then increases your further Artifact Power gains by x% and also activates the Artifact lore book by telling the history of your Artifact weapons.

You can always check your current Knowledge level by <Shift> + right click on your Artifact weapon:

Bonus percentages per Connaissance de l’arme prodigieuse level:

Level 1 – the first research scroll that you loot – gives you 25% increase to your further Artifact Power gains.
It also unlocks Part One tale of your Artifact's history book which can be read in your Order Hall.

This bonus works for all kind of AP-giving items, including:

Dungeons & Raids – Gloire triomphale de l'aventurier, Décoration de victoire, etc.
World Quest rewards – Perle de mana d'Azshara, Effigie de champion antique, etc.
Mission Rewards – Totem de rogg primitif, Sceau de victoire, etc.
PvP Rewards – Gloire de la mêlée, etc.
World drops – Brève histoire des âges, Brève histoire des éons, etc.
Rare mob drops – Gloire du vaillant, Cristal d'infusion d'âme, etc.
Treasure drops – Statuette grossière, Souvenir lumineux, Trésor des âges, etc.
Non-repeatable quests – Bénédiction des gardiens, Gloire de l'ordre supérieure, Pièce sacrenuit enchantée, etc.
Non-repeatable missions (Class Campaigns) – Fermoir d'armure érédar, Pierre de lave gangrenée, etc.

Pêcheur de Terradiance – The Connaissance de l’arme prodigieuse bonus does not work for the Fishing Artifact and this is intended (confirmed by GMs).

Quick facts:

The bonus is NOT RETROACTIVE, AP-giving items you have already acquired will not change. You still receive the preceding AP values from items you acquired prior to learning the Recherches sur les armes prodigieuses.
For the reason above, stockpiling AP items is absolutely pointless.
Catch-up system: The first work order for Recherches sur les armes prodigieuses takes 5 days to complete. The required time for other toons changes proportionally, based on how far the character is in the research progress and how much time passed since the launch of Legion. The exact numbers of this catch-up system are not known. You can find more information about this catch-up system on the Blizzard link below.
The Connaissance de l’arme prodigieuse / AP bonus is not account-wide, you have to progress it for every character individually.
When you consume a scroll the bonus AP will be pre-added to the tooltip of all relevant further AP items so you'll see the increased amount of AP on them even before you obtain the items (eg. on the world map). Example:
Splendeur du soldat versus Soldier's Splendor with Artifact Knowledge Level 5 (200%).

Commentaire de Nodochibi

So, does this mean that it would be better to not pick up any of the treasures, if possible, until roughly the week before raids begin so as to take maximum advantage of this knowledge, since it's not retroactive?

Commentaire de Dzink

At level 20 is 9000% increased. The first heroic dungeon each day reward 36400 AP, the blue world quests rewarding AP are nearly at this range too. Beta build 7.0.3.22522

Commentaire de Ascar

It's worth noting that the Artifact Power gain through Artifact Knowledge progresses by adding roughly 25% additional AP to the previous AK level.

Here is a table for AK 0 to 25 that lists the AP bonus, AP multiplier (AP on Item * multiplier is what you actually see on the item) and the difference to the previous level.

Level	AP bonus	AP multiplier	Gain to previous level	Level	AP bonus	AP multiplier	Gain to previous level

Commentaire de Aurelune

Decent guide, but a few clarification questions;

There are a few NPC's who take work orders. Which one does for the "Hitting The Books". As a 110 Hunter, I have not found it yet.
The charts in the guide are great. How do we check which level we are at?
Does each upgrade scroll move your level up one? If not, how many are needed to level up each time?
Thanks!

Commentaire de 532020

Hey all,

I looked over this post before asking, but is there a max level for the Recherches sur les armes prodigieuses? There are a few charts and lists here, but no one is mentioning if it can be maxed.

Reason I ask is because if it costs 500 Order Resources per job and you are at level 13, will it still let you submit a work order?

Thanks all

***Update***

I think I found it. Is it level 25?

Nevermind guys. Sorry =)

Commentaire de 928687

I just collected my 24th Artifact Research Notes and can't trigger another one (26th, Nr. 25 is still running).

Since the cap is 25 i assume that it's intended to end here.

Strangely the tooltip of Research interface doesn't change and there is no error message.

Commentaire de Isfendiyar

At 25th research knowledge, there must be a kinky point that, all those artifact knowledge multiplications were supposed to be aroun 25 percent. But between 24 which is 22400 percent and 25 which is 24900 is some kind of weird. It must be around 27000 or 28000 percent for 25th AK instead of 24900 percent. Well, this knowledge still unknown. And it will be clarified in 1 or 2 days.

Tomorrow or tonight, some of us will obtain 25th AK that maximizes the ap gains. We'll see the onwards that is.

With the latest patch artifact research for alts has been improved.
Patch 7.1.5 updates: source

New Bind-on-Account items are available from the Artifact Researcher in your Class Order Hall. These items can be sent to alternate characters to immediately get them to higher Artifact Knowledge levels.

Am i the only one that Artifact knowledge amount to &*!@?

Cause when i use a lets say AP item that give 100 AP, even though i have a knowledge of 5, i just get that, 100AP, not 300Ap, just flat 100AP...

How to get Artifact Knowledge level 26. (7.2.0)
Make sure you have level 25 already, if you don't you can buy Recherches sur les armes prodigieuses from your order hall researcher for 500xRessources de domaine.

1. Complete L’assaut du rivage Brisé. You get it from Khadgar in Dalaran.
2. Complete À la recherche du savoir perdu. You get it from Khadgar at the Broken Shore after completing step 1.
3. Complete La transmission du savoir perdu. You get it from Khadgar after completing step 2.
4. Use Tome elfique surpuissant. It will be in your inventory after completing step 3.
5. Congratulations, you now have Artifact Knowledge 26. (This quest leads into L’utilisation du savoir perdu.)

It's the grind that never ends until you hit your 100th trait which costs 200 trillion AP.

Commentaire de decembre

Another way to look at the AK bonus and its effects on AP gains in practical terms:

Every level of AK increases your AP farming efficiency by ~30%. So at any given artifact trait level, waiting 5 days for another level of AK would speed up AP acquisition like so:

AK Level wait time AP bonus
+0 AK 0 days 1.0x
+1 AK 5 days 1.3x
+2 AK 10 days 1.7x
+3 AK 15 days 2.2x
+4 AK 20 days 2.9x
+5 AK 25 days 3.7x
+6 AK 30 days 4.8x
+7 AK 35 days 6.3x
+8 AK 40 days 8.2x
+9 AK 45 days 10.5x
+10 AK 50 days 13.8x

The consequence of this is that the AK system isn’t just a catch up mechanism. For patient players, waiting a few days or weeks before regularly farming AP levels for their artifact could save countless hours or days of playtime.

There are a lot of different ways that this may play out, but I’ll use a hypothetical example of a player looking to gain one artifact trait every new AK level, which is every 5 days. And since Artifact Knowledge bonus and AP costs both increase by 30% each level, this is one common way that players may level their artifact at a steady rate.

Player A at AK 31 working on their 40th trait would need 22mil AP to level up. They farm the points to level, and five days later, they hit AK 32. Now for their 41st trait they would need 29mil AP.

Player B took a break for 30 days, but kept up with their AK, so are at AK 37 when they start their farm. Player B is also working on their 40th trait, so also needs 22mil AP. But he gains 4.8x more AP due to the extra AK levels, effectively farming 4.8x faster. Five days later, player B is now AK 38, and needs 29mil AP for their 41st trait, but still gains AP 4.8x faster than player A. This increased rate will continue until Player B hits 51.

If both players continue to trait 51, gaining a trait and AK level every 5 days, Player B would have spent almost 1/5 the time farming than Player A did. Of course, the trade off here is that Player B is 30 days behind player A—when player A hits Artifact level 51, player B will only be at 45. But Player A has also spent 5x more farming during that time for those extra levels.

In the end, there is no right or wrong way to farm out the levels. Some will grind it out from the get go to stay raid competitive, while some will take a more leisurely path to 51. But if a player starts early, they will consistently spend more time all the way to 51 than someone who starts later. And no doubt the first few weeks of the AP farm will be especially punishing with the huge increase of 10+ mil at trait 37 onwards.

If you have a smartphone, the updated WoW Legion Companion app lets you start work orders and actually consume the scroll all through the app now. Pre 7.2 you could only start the work order and you had to log in to consume the scroll. Very handy if you have a lot of alts.

This isn't 100% accurate I don't think, but I made a quick spreadsheet showing what the effectiva gains would be on the most common artifact power drops from quests (not including the WQ's) Also included the Suramar quest chain epic ones and the lucrative 3k ap Faîte du Conseil des ombres quest reward for killing Gul'dan in Nighthold.

Hope this helps, and if anyone wishes to contribute let me know!

Here's a sheet I just threw together for AP gain on M+

I wish we could exchange unused artifact power, or send them to our other toons.
I have so much but, it says all my weapons are full...

So I've been doing the math. And perhaps I am just this inept but as of this post we have world-wide AK and regular upgrades on server reset every so often. Currently the AK is at 47 and the tooltip shows that to be a 77,250,000% increase. How then is it possible to get any amount of AP under that amount? During the start of expac I was regularly obtaining the treasures as I'm sure many are oft to do. And commonly obtained 35 AP(for example) from the treasures. Should this not scale to be 77,250,000% of 35? I am just confused. Anyone have an answer?
