Original Blue Post
Let's start by talking about the Blue Post. On Monday, September 22nd at approximately 9:54 AM Pacific Time, Blizzard released a statement on both the NA and EU forums talking about obtaining Artifact tints in Legion Remix in the General Discussion categories.
The NA post was added to a thread called "Remix Artifact Weapon skins"
The EU post was added to a thread called "Not adding non-mage tower artifact appearances to remix?"
Both of these threads have now been deleted, seemingly recently, as the original thread was linked on Reddit 9 days ago. Other threads in the General Discussion category of the forums around the same time frame still exist on the forums including the Midnight Q&A, an announcement post on the Midnight Deep Dive and Q&A and a Brewfest Post.
Below is the original text of the blue post from the NA forums.
In Legion Remix, you’ll have a great opportunity to obtain Artifact appearances that you haven’t already. This includes:
All of the original Artifact tints
All of the upgraded Artifact tints
All of the ‘Valorous’ Artifact tints
The ‘hidden’ appearance for every Artifact
The ‘hidden’ tints that come from PvE activities
For example, in Legion Remix, you’ll earn original tint #2 by returning one of the Pillars of Creation, as part of the Legion campaign. You’ll earn original tint #3 by recovering the Light’s Heart and bringing it to your Class Order Hall. You’ll earn original tint #4 by completing the first major campaign effort for your Class Order Hall.
The ‘Valorous’ tints require the Balance of Power questline, and then the Unleashed Monstrosities achievement, and so on.
Notably, you don’t instantly see the Artifact appearances on your Timerunner character in Legion Remix, due to how the transmog UI works. But if you log out and back in, or log out and look for the appearance on a different character, it will be there and available for transmog.
What Tints are Available in Legion Remix?
The awkward answer is we don't exactly know.
The original Blue Post indicated that you could get all the hidden appearances and Valorous appearances, but this has turned out to not be true. Many of the 'hidden' appearances take you to locations that are not available in Legion Remix, or require items that are not available in Legion Remix, while other 'hidden' artifacts are available like the Protection Warrior one.
Please Don't Delete Blue Posts
It would cause significantly less confusion for the community if Blue Posts are not deleted, instead releasing another one in order to provide the community with updated information. Many players still believe that 'hidden' artifacts are available due to the Blue Post, and suddenly deleting the original Blue Posts only adds more confusion as now the most reliable source is gone.
Many people in the community is confused and looking for clarity on this as indicated by:
