Artifacts

Artifacts[]

Artifacts are the items that alter the certain characteristics of a hero or of his army temporarily or permanently.

- One can get the artifacts fighting against NPC- armies in Adventure Huts and in some Mercenary Camps. The probability of an artifact dropping and its type is random in nature. The type of the artifacts dropping depends on the type of the adventure hut/mercenary camp. The more difficult the place, the higher the probability of getting a high-level artifact.
- Some artifacts can be received as a contribution from the inhabitants of the mercenary camp that you control. Once a week or two you can get incoming mail with the offerings.
- The use of several identical artifacts of temporary effect will not multiply the desired characteristic but will simply extend the duration of its effect. For instance, if you have used 3 water bottles you will not get 3 times 5% as a bonus to logistics and path-finding for 1 hour, but only the 5% logistics/path-finding bonus for 3 hours (and not 1 hour).

Temporary Effect Artifacts[]

The artifacts of this type are one-off things; they only work their effect for a limited amount of time counting from the moment they are activated. Once this artifact is activated it disappears and its icon is moved to the list of the hero’s skills; if you move your cursor over the icon you will see the description of the artifact effect and the time of effect left on timer. Also, you can trace the time of effect left by looking at the thin line over the artifact icon that goes shorter as times passes.

Permanent Effect Artifacts[]

The permanent artifacts should be put on your hero so they are activated.

Any one hero can use up to 2 artifacts of this type at any given time: one defense artifact in his/her left hand and one attack artifact in the right hand. It is impossible to use 2 swords or 2 shields simultaneously; it is also impossible to use to hero’s diaries at the one and the same time. Each putting-on-hero wears the artifact down by 4 units. The removal of the artifact from the hero does not change its condition.

The artifact is worn gradually all the time that it is on the hero – 4 units per day. The Artificer skill of the hero allows for the reduced wear when the artifact is put on the hero as well as the daily wear of the artifact down to 1 unit.

Artifacts can be of the different quality; for instance, the hero’s diary has the quality = 100, i.e. 1 unit of wear equals 1% of wear in this case. Other artifacts can prove to be sturdier than that. You can see the condition of the artifact by moving your cursor over the thin colored band right over the artifact icon. N.B.: only new artifacts can be sold at the auction. Once you have used your artifact on your hero you won’t be able to sell it anymore due to the slight but still present wear and tear.

Festivity Artifacts[]

The festivity artifacts appear in the game at certain moments and for a limited amount of time. This usually happens on celebrations, holidays or in connection with some highlight events. The use of these artefacts brings you various bonuses. Just use the festivity artifact to activate it, or, ‘unwrap’ it, as it were – the kingdom event will follow to give you your bonus.

Kingdom Event Artifacts[]

When the artifact is activated a new kingdom event pops up with rewards.

Composite Artifacts[]

The composite artifacts are the rare items that the players can assemble from the ingredient items. Each composite artifact has the prescription of its own showing what ingredients are needed to assemble it successfully. The assembly takes place at the Blacksmith’s (or in other buildings during the theme holidays, for instance, in the Xmas Tree at the New Year’s Eve). The composite artifacts come in two types: the permanent ones and the festivity ones. Both types can be assembled at any time at all providing you have all the ingredients it takes to put them together; still, the festivity ingredients will only be available in the game during the corresponding fest (simply put, for a limited period). Differently from the regular artifacts and ingredients, the composite artifacts are not found in any adventure hut and in any mercenary camp, too, for that matter.

Ring of King	Holy Indulgence
A ring for the King. The jeweler that made it is a talented man indeed. A fine crafted gold base is connected to a huge flawless sapphire in a very gentle and delicate matter. The ring of the king makes a hero very loyal and enthusiastic to your governance, so he serves you for free.

Ingredient Artifacts[]

The ingredients represent another artifact/item type that can find their way into the hero’s inventory stock. The ingredients as such give no bonuses but are rather found in the composite artifact prescriptions, that is, they are used to assemble those. The assembly takes place in the dedicated building called the Blacksmith’s.
