Do Artifacts Exsist?

[DaTexican]

So the other day a random PC ran by Roigrin and asked if she wanted these. Placed these on the ground. Picked em up and was a bit confused. Bracers named Artifact... that are usable by druid only.. and give only cold resist 5. I'm a bit curious now. She didn't call it an artifact or nothing like that so Roigrin thinks they are just nice bracers. Is this anything out of the ordinary or something? If nothing else it made me feel special cause the bracers or druid only

It's probably an item found as loot, modified in an enchantment basin, and renamed. There are plenty of player made artifacts floating around Arelith, mostly equipment and fixtures made by characters who have died/disappeared. They're only as special as they're assumed to be, by others, though. There's no advantage to having them outside of RP.

Apparently, they do.

[DaTexican]

Hmm alright but how did a player put on the Usable only by druid thing then?

[The Rambling Midget]

I'm going to step back and say Find Out In Game, for now.

A very long time ago, there were 'rare' treasure chests that dropped a wide variety of loot that no longer spawn today. Additionally, normal treasure chests had a much different loot table than what you currently see.

I'm sure some of those items have survived, passed on or lingering in the inventory of old characters.

Not sure if that's the origin of the screenshot item, but a lot of oddball things you find can be traced back to those.

[DaTexican]

Alright Figured it might come up. Time will tell

Having seen three other 'Artifacts' with all varying properties, I think it's safe to assume there's something going on with items and the loot matrix. Specifically, these things put into it.

This. Rest assured that it isn't a bug or a scam of sorts.

[DaTexican]

Alright . Do you think its safe to enchant them? I mean I wouldn't mind haveing the resistance naturally and continue using these in the future but i also don't want to destroy them either

*EDIT* Actually i'll probbly enchant them anyway since Roi doesn't know they are some artifact

[The Rambling Midget]

They're just items. Enchanting carries the same risk as it would with anything else.

This topic is extremely FOIG.

[Kashisjonny]

is there different degrees of FOIG? Is there slightly FOIG? Maybe FOIG? How do we know when the 'Extreme' moment of FOIG has been hit? Is there different punishments for the different breaches of FOIG? Is there such a thing as Berzerker Mode FOIG?

[DM Nito]

Yes

[Preacher]

Not sure how the existence of items that aren't what we are used to, is FOIG other then you actually needing to FIND them in game.

Mith actually said he was putting some rare items in the loot matrix to spice up some drops/chests. so that part is common knowledge

[Preacher]

Oh and you will know the extream "Find out in game" information by the fact that your post gets edited by our admin

[rat0a]

They do exist and are legit

[SwampFoot]

On the topic of Artifacts, does anyone know what happened to the Sword of Elysium? Possibly FOIG, but my current character knows nothing about it. I wanted it to continue on as a source of RP for someone after I rolled Riago and it seems to have vanished.

[The Rambling Midget]

95% chance, it's sitting in an inactive character's inventory. However, if it's super cool, you might want to submit its description and history to the EA folks.

[Rattus_norvegicus99]

Yus ... FOIG.

[DaTexican]

Not gona lie, had to read a bunch of these post before I figured out what FOIG stood for . Its alright guys, I was just trying to find out if these were actual things to be looking for answers for or if it was just some player scam, and if it was some player scam if it was ACTUALLY possible to put things like Druid only portions on them. I got my answer and I thank all of you . Pluss now i know what FOIG stands for

This is why I'm against acronyms



And yes. I use them too. but it doesn't take that long to just type it out. So I will do better now that I've been reminded again.

FOIG is another artifact... a forum artifact in fact!

[rat0a]

Actually the Artifatc description in game is FOIG because you get the idea where those are found

Don't get too many or will get some unwanted attention

[Razmo_de]

I think there is a policy that DMs can create items for players (say, as a quest reward), that are worth up to 100gp (thats rediculously cheap, most any useful item property will break the limit).
However.
Usable only: does not increase value (its usually a disadvantage), gloves that have this property would still be worth ~5gp.
Add a cold resist essence, and you're done.

So thats another way to make such an item. Ask a DM.

[DM Garynx]

Some people just love to ruin the mystery~. Alas.

Also,

Please don't.
