Artifact

are Artifact Equipment Items.

Rare, non-craftable magical items that can be found as loot on creatures and in containers or earned as quest rewards. With the Smelting skill (and smelting tongs), Artifacts of a particular level can be combined with Ancient Essences and Chunks of Coal to create Artifacts of successively higher levels. Artifacts cannot accept Imbued Gems or Imbued Jewels in their sockets.
