24.3 Artifacts

Artifacts are special items that can be purchased only with credits. They will reset into your inventory on a very regular basis, which means that they cannot be loaned out for very long, but that they also cannot be stolen for very long. Some of them will only work for the owner. The majority of artifacts never decay, however, a handful are single use items and/or do decay. This will be noted in the artifact's description (ARTIFACT #). They cannot be changed to reset to anyone else's inventory, so do not buy artifacts of any kind if you intend to sell them.

The description of most items listed in the following files as well as corresponding non-artifacts can be altered at a rate of 50 credits per item.

To view a list of artifacts, use:

  ARTIFACT LIST [search string]

The search string is optional and lets you provide a specific subset of artifacts that you are looking for. For example, ARTIFACT LIST SWORD would list all sword type artifacts for sale. You may also search for one of the following tags: profession, misc, stat, skill, weapon, resists, defensive and offensive.

Additionally, you can search for the following professions: amazon, assassin, bard, berserker, deathknight, defiler, diabolist, druid, engineer, hunter, mage, monk, outrider, priest, ranger, renegade, runeguard, shaman, summoner and templar. Many of these tags may also be used via the HELP <tag> ARTIFACTS command.

  ARTIFACT LIST <maximum cost>

This will display all artifacts with a cost equal to, or less than, the number you enter.

  ARTIFACT LIST <minimum cost> <maximum cost>

This will list all artifacts with a cost between, or equal to, the two numbers you enter.
