Vestiges are the new form of artifact weapon in World of Warcraft: The Waking Dream. As players enter the Emerald Dream and begin to form bonds with those around, they will feel a strange resonance within themselves, a pull to some forlorn location. There, they will find a Vestige, a relic of great forgotten power that they will routinely upgrade throughout the expansion through quest lines. Vestiges are unique to a class or a specialization and each will have their own narrative thread throughout the expansion. By progressing along their stories, new abilities and powers can be unlocked for your character. As the player's progress and form bonds between factions, they will unlock the necessary quest lines to further improve their Vestige.

They embody the much larger changes in abilities and play-styles for classes, in comparison to forming Bonds between factions that give smaller scale, but more numerous, improvements. They also allow each class to expand upon their own unique lore and identity in the context of an expansion that does not necessarily mesh with their ideology. For example, a Warlock may not necessary gain much by directly helping the Emerald Dream, but they will be far more interested in obtaining a fragment of Archimonde's power left behind following the destruction of Nordrassil.
