U42 Preview 3: Minor Artifacts

[macauboy429]

Hi Developer, May I ask how would we acquire these minor artifacts? Though the normal quest chests/ raid chests/ saga rewards? Thank you.

[silinteresting]

I can swap it with Force, good catch.

thankyou for this.

I love em, is it too late to add a belt?

The Ravenloft belts are good enough that it would be a really hard sell to get most people to wear a belt minor artifact.

The Band of Diani ir'Wynarn Bracer Minor Artifact now conflict with the Flamecleansed Fury Set Items.

So if you want to Primal/Divine Casters can use it, need to avoid: Cloak/ Bracers (Flamecleansed Fury), Gloves/necklace (Hruit's Influence).
Based on list the other options are Ring or Goggles, not a fan of that but better than lose the sets.

Edit: maybe turn the item to a Ring. Instead of swap the effects to other? Since the goggles Collective Sight are for Divines.

Swapping the Wis item leaves a Wis caster item that can't be used with the divine caster set. While I fear more swapping will just cause more conflicts, would swapping the caster Wis bracers for the dps Wis ring be better?

Agreed. Making the Band of Diani ir'Wynarn a ring is the best way for it to be useful to the most players. No need to swap with anything else. It should just be a ring.

Sorry for repeat the thing to you Lynnabel :c (but also type it here, for others opinion, in case they dont read the other thread).

So... IF the belt Black Satin Waist Belt stays with the Quality Spell Focus Mastery, there is any chance to Swap this artifact bonuses to insightful or normal one?

Update 42 is going to feature a new designation for equipment items called a "Minor Artifact". The most basic explanation is: A piece of equipment with the "Minor Artifact" designation (displayed on

The Zarash'ak Ward Neck Minor Artifact
Minimum Level:29
Maximum Filigree Slots: 3

• Intelligence +22
• Quality Spell Focus Mastery +2
• Quality Potency +41
• Negative Absorption +31%

Neg Absorption makes it unusable for pale masters. I think it's not too much to ask that the absorption of energy is not harmful to one of the main casters based on intelligence xd

Can not you change it to a neutral energy absorption for all int-based casters?

Band of Diani ir'Wynarn Bracer Minor Artifact
Minimum Level:29
Maximum Filigree Slots: 3

Wisdom +22
Quality Spell Focus Mastery +2
Quality Potency +41
Light Absorption +31%


This being bracers instead of a ring... is silly.

Scroll up. Already done.

Think that is the point of artifacts. You have to sacrifice something to gain their benefit. Some builds of course will be able to utilize them 100% while others are going to have to pick and choose.

Would you guys equip one of these if they gave no other bonuses than the filigree set hosting? So all this stuff added is not necessary. Just dump it as excessive creep and make them have a few augment slots that are unusual like a red one for instance on a gear set. Or even better—make them Cannith craftable and BANG you have redeemed a system slowly deprecating AND created awesome flexibility for character creation

Minor Artifacts Known Issues

• None! If you find anything, please let us know!

This item is absolutely useless for the characters it is targeted at.

Any int based mech/arti/harper build will want to use the DPS set, where one item is a necklace. Noone will ever want to use this minor artifact.

Very dissapointed with this.

This is simply not true (aka a lie). The ranged DPS set is Armour, Helm, and Hands.

So the necklace works just fine.

I'd wear an artifact belt on a few characters, not everyone is stuck in the melee dps ravenloft set.

Does not work for a melee harper build though.

Was just rethinking this. I could use a belt artifact even if it had no stats and just the augment slots and filigree to add and it would still serve me better then ravenloft belts for most toons.

But you'd still be better off with a Ravenloft belt and a minor artifact in a "spare" gear slot elsewhere.

[Duhboy]

I hate the way slavers items always went into a default slot but am beginning to think that a multi slot item like slavers may be the best option for artifacts.

Agreed

The Key of Rhukaan Draal seems like it would better fit a ring slot than a necklace.

Radiant Ring of Taer Valaestas Ring Minor Artifact
Minimum Level:29
Maximum Filigree Slots: 3

• Wisdom +22
• Quality Accuracy +8
• Quality Deadly +5
• Law Absorption +31%

Could use pretty pretty please change the wisdom on this one to inisghtfull +10wisdom.. There is soooo many items with widsom 20+ on but allmost none with insightfull wisdom, specially not in the higher grade. All wisdom based toons i think would benefit from this change as it is now the wisdom on is just a waste. changeing it to con +22 is another option. but insightfull wisdom is the best.
