Artifact system
The artifact system allows you to strengthen character, increasing his combat characteristics
There are 4 types of artifacts : Attack, Defense, Support and Balance
On artifacts of each type the corresponding ancient rune is engraved
Book of Artifacts Lv.1 |
Attack: 1, Defense: 1 , Support: 1, Balance: 4 | |
Book of Artifacts Lv.2 | Attack: 2, Defense: 2 , Support: 2, Balance: 8 | |
Book of Artifacts Lv.3 | Attack: 3, Defense: 3 , Support: 3, Balance: 12 | |
Improved Book of Artifacts Lv.3 | Attack: 3, Defense: 3 , Support: 3, Balance: 12 |
- The book is equipped into the corresponding inventory slot (to the right of the bracelets) and activates slots for artifacts
- A list of all artifacts and their quantity for the character, as well as their enhancement effects are available in the inventory on the “Artifact Effect” tab → button "All artifacts"
- The enhancement effect is indicated in the lower left corner of the icon – by analogy with modification: +1, +2, etc.
- Artifacts do not have weight; they are located in a separate “Artifact” inventory tab and are not counted in the total number of items. The maximum number of slots for artifacts in the inventory – 100 (for all races, including Dwarves)
- As soon as an artifact is placed in the appropriate slot (example: balance artifact → balance slot), the character immediately receives the passive effect of the installed artifact. It can be seen in the book of artifacts on the "Artifact Effect" tab, or on the passive skills tab in the "Artifact" category

Installing artifacts:
- For the effects of artifacts to take effect, they must be installed in the Book of Artifacts. Without the book, you cannot use artifacts and get their effects
- To add artifacts, you must install the Book of Artifacts in a special slot in the character's inventory
- The “Artifact Effects” tab will display the effects of installed artifacts separately for each set
- You cannot use identical artifacts from the same group
Enhancing artifacts:
- Enhancing artifacts is available in the character's inventory using the "Enhance Artifact" button
- For some balance artifacts, enhancements are not available
- Maximum gain level: +5
- No safe enhancement of artifacts
- Chance of enhancement 70%/60%/50%/40%/30%
Amplification process:
- Click on the "Strengthen artifact" button in the character's inventory. When you click on the button to the right of the enhancement window, a mini-window will open with a list of materials for the specific artifact being enhanced (for a protection artifact, only protection artifacts will be visible in the materials window)
- In the "Enhance Artifact" window that opens, select the artifact from the mini-window that you want to enhance and place it in the central cell. The mini-window with materials displays only artifacts that are in the character’s inventory. Artifacts installed in the Book of Artifacts are not visible. If necessary, they must first be removed from the book and moved to inventory
- Select the required number of artifacts with which you want to enhance the central artifact, and place them in the appropriate cells. You can distribute artifacts among material cells as you wish
- To enhance materials, you will need artifacts of the same type as the artifact being enhanced
- Starting from +4, strengthening will require artifacts-materials enhanced by +1 and higher
Gain | Enhanced artifact | Number of materials | Min. necessary reinforcement of materials |
+0 → +1 | +0 | 3 | 0 |
+1 → +2 | +1 | 3 | 0 |
