Yeah - a few notes on Artifacts:

* Artifacts can drop for any random creature above a CR of around 5. Right now, there's about 30 artifacts in the database with more on the way. They'll be added into the system piecemeal as we go along. Probably right now the highest concentration of Artifacts are in for creatures with a CR between 16-25+, but there's some in there for every level atm I believe.

* Artifacts can be anything. Weapons, armor, equipment, etc. Some artifacts might be similar items that drop somewhere else, but just have different elemental damage/resist. Other artifacts are extremely powerful, but might have negative traits associated with them. Other items may be usable only by a specific race or class.

Probably more details that I'm missing, but we're hoping this'll be a fun boost to random adventuring and between that and the dye drops provide a little liquidity to the economy.

This sounds to me like there are new weapons, armor, rings, boots, belts, helms, etc. Am I reading this right?

I think I know what answer I'm going to get from this but....

Are there level restrictions on thses new "artifacts"

Post by **Flailer** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:31 pm

Of course - just like all the rest of the items in the game.

Are there any certain artifacts with low level requirements, but are really rare?

Post by **Flailer** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 9:08 pm

No - there's some items with slightly higher stats than their normal level counterparts, but if the stats get high in certain areas, you'll begin to see some drawbacks emerge in others.

We've got a load more artifact ideas going - we'll be implementing more and more of them as time goes on. Collect and trade!
