So I noticed it takes about 225 days (7.5) months to fully acquire all levels of your Artifact Knowledge (25 levels). With this I do not believe blizzard is going to implement a catch up system to knock that time down or anything.

I have my 12 Horde characters to 110 but only 1 Alliance to 110 on my other server. My main raiding mage is only 848 ilvl because my guild does really random mythics and I'm usually not online when they're doing them or they never announce them.

Should I just finish leveling my Alliance server and have them AFK Artifact Knowledge or wait to see if they will implement account wide Artifact knowledge / catch up system for alts?

There is an catch up system in effect
Actaully and it helps alot
I maintain 3 110s all same i lvl all raid ready.

Youll see the catch up mechanisms when you start playing alts. Trust me.

What catch up mechanic, I really don't see one and I have 5 characters ilvl 820 and notice nothing changed with the gain of Artifact Knowledge.

Lol your artifact notes take less days to research
And i remember noticing some other things I'll see what it was I haven't checked today yet.
This increasing artifact power gain.
I notice it or I wouldn't do it.

Plus regardless it's easy to maintain at least 2 chars

But for the lesser days to take effect you need afk a char for a few days. If your logging in all everyday then I beleive it doesn't proc

So because I check every 3 days to see if they have AK to use i'm not using the catchup factor?

So could I actually now log into them for say a month and they'll have a 1day research for a few levels?

mine had 2 days for ak lvled him in 2 night of messing around had my main lvled first day though within 9 hours dunno if that made a diff or if its based o your mains ak maybe u get to catch up to ur main ? all i know is im gaining more ap and faster ak on my alt an i just unlocked the world quest an already got my first gld trait and more
