His combat ally ability Secrets of the Kirin Tor is a 5 minute CD that summons an image of Archmage Vargoth that you and anyone in your party can talk with to receive Archmage Vargoth's Arcane Intellect which is a 60 min buff that increases your damage by 20% but will fall off it you leave the Broken Isles.

Yeah, but does anyone know how to actually get him as a Champion? I'm looking everywhere and finding nothing.

Archmage Vargoth has been a very familiar recurring character since the Burning Crusade. First appearing in Netherstorm, Archmage Vargoth was a part of the Kirin Tor mages who accompanied the Alliance Expedition. Nearly all of his mages wiped out by Kael'thas Sunstrider, Vargoth was imprisoned in his own Violet Tower. He asks adventurers to help free him from his prison, with the help of his still-living apprentice, Ravandwyr, as well as a staff the projected his image.

Vargoth gained fame because the staff did NOT leave the players inventory on completion of the relevant quests, and neither was it zone specific to Netherstorm, or even Outland! This led to a surge of appearances by the Image of Archmage Vargoth in random places, building his popularity.

Archmage Vargoth himself went on to appear again in the Dalaran of Northrend in his own private retreat. When the player successfully reads all of the Schools of Arcane Magic books, they are rewarded with The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery, an item (now toy) that transports the caster to Archmage Vargoth's Retreat. There, Vargoth congratulates them by rewarding them with a Kirin Tor Familiar non-combat pet.

In the Cataclysm quest, The Protectors of Hyjal, several NPCs of the past were called upon to help the player take on powerful fire elementals attacking Mount Hyjal. Familiar characters like Chromie, Thassarian, and Nat Pagle would come to fight alongside the player. This included the Image of Archmage Vargoth yet again, who curiously stays rather silent whilst the other characters tend to be a bit vocal while attacking.

The Image of Archmage Vargoth would show up in the later part of Mists of Pandaria, aiding the Kirin Tor Offensive. There, he helped players by transforming them into a Skumblade saurok to help them pass unnoticed through Ihgaluk Crag.

Yet again, the Image of Archmage Vargoth showed up on the alternate Draenor. Whilst traveling, players happen upon a mysterious pair staff, hat, boots, and ring out in the wilds of Draenor. Bringing these all back to Zooti Fizzlefury, the gnome mage summons Vargoth's image fully to Draenor, where he accompanies the commander as one of their Followers.

During the Legion Invasion, Archmage Vargoth (finally in the flesh) stands as one of the members of Dalaran's Council of Six. Working with the newly reformed Tirisgarde, Vargoth is often seen acting odd, abruptly leaving the player in mid-conversation and taking improper care of his retreat.

Vargoth is found to have connections to the Empyrean Society, a dodgy group of mages who employ use of the fel. The Conjurer of the Tirisgarde, along with Ravandwyr and a Sin'dorei pyromage named Esara Verrinde, infiltrate the society for information on a relic Vargoth seems to be seeking; the Nightborne Soulstone.

When the Conjurer (and surprisingly, Millhouse Manastorm) try to retrieve the Soulstone from Suramar, they are accosted by Vargoth, who summons Legion allies to deter them. The Tirisgarde then learn that the Legion demons under the command of the dreadlord Kathra'natir are going to attack Coldarra, where they use the rampant magical energies of the Nexus to drain the powers of Meryl Felstorm from afar.

Climbing the Oculus, the Conjurer finds Vargoth imprisoned by a trio of eredar, whom they quickly slay. Vargoth offers them his thanks, explaining that his actions were not his own. Kathra'natir had possessed Vargoth, using him as a puppet to infiltrate the Tirisgarde from within. Vargoth and the Conjurer then make their way down to the lower levels of the Nexus, where they find Kathra'natir draining Felstorm with the Nexus-empowered Nightborne Soulstone. Initially outmatched by the dreadlord, Khadgar, Modera, and Kalecogs come to the Conjurer's aid, helping to use the powers of the Soulstone to trap Kathra'natir within. In dramatic irony, the very thing that Kathra'natir wished to use to drain his nemesis of his power would now serve as his magical prison.

With Kathra'natir imprisoned and his name cleared, Archmage Vargoth becomes one of the Conjurer's Champions, owing him a great debt for freeing him from the dreadlord's influence.

Before fully reading his ability, I had slapped a Fruitful Bauble on him. However, I was still awarded the bonus 25 resources for every WQ I finished even though he was only there in uh, spirit.

I did have the buff on me when completing the quests.

Any idea how to get this champion?

Kommentar von NickDrizzt

For all of you mages out there (I know its well within BfA expansion but...) here's a nugget for you : assign him as a follower and summon him anywhere that he can be summoned in Broken Isles and then use Erzmagier Vargoths Ersatzstab somewhere near him if you have it, for some fun dialogue of the famous mage with...well...himself. Not gonna spoil it!

If you still run with Vargoth as your follower for his bff, it appears now you loose it everytime you zone, including all Legion zones. So if buffing up to do WQs and you go to Argus, it immediately drops the buff. Cooldown is 5 mins but loosing it on zoneing around Legion sux. The idea of breaking and nerfing previous expansions shows how petty and lack-luster Blizz has become.
