The Artifact Box: rare artifacts from the strongest creatures of 8.0
Every character now carries an Artifact Box, and twenty artifacts and five timed gems wait to fill it.
Open the box with the new button in your inventory, under the tools slot. Each artifact in an open slot lends you its power on top of your gear: magic level, a skill, hit points, mana, protection, speed or regeneration. Slots open with a ritual: Melchior in Ankrahmun opens the first two once you bring back his lost notes, and the djinn open the third and fourth for those who finished the Djinn War. A ritual lasts 48 hours of battle, and the box is never lost when you die.
The artifacts are rare. The heart of a demon drops once in 1,000 demons, the eye of the dragon lord once in 1,000 dragon lords, and Orshabaal, Morgaroth and Ghazbaran carry the archdemon's sigil. Four famous quest chests hold one too, next to their old reward: the Annihilator, the Demon Helmet, the Pits of Inferno and the Queen of the Banshees. The five timed gems have stronger bonuses and drop alongside the big gems of 8.0.
The new Artifact Box page in the library lists every artifact, where it comes from and how to open your slots.
