[Varian]

We are going to be releasing several new artifacts shortly. Before we do, I am looking for any cool, fresh ideas for some new artifacts. Post any ideas you may have!

[Atrapoema]

An artifact that gives Lycans one extra howl/roar that, instead of ticking every 12 seconds, ticks every 16-20 seconds.

[Varian]

As an added incentive, I will give a free copy of any artifact we use, to your character.

I am looking for all kinds of ideas. Utility, all class, class specific, cheap, expensive, rp, combat, house add ons, pet/mount abilities, etc.

[Rlift Mirumoto]

I know the other games have it, but Give Meta and Corpus users their own Knuckle type weapon, knuckles on everyone and their great great grandkids gets sorta boring...

Maybe artifact weaponbelts since we have packs and quivers..

oh oh.. and the abiltiy to buy ARTIFACT GIFTS!


Thats all I can think of right now that isn't copying some of the thing I know from other games...

[Atrapoema]

Artifact bloodline erasure - comes in the form of a quill or something and completely severs your familial bloodline.

Scrub brush - a cheap artifact that will give any undead the ability to scrub in the desert.

[Borscin]

Falconry gloves, weaponbelts, falcon talons.

Gloves could reduce the balance it takes to recall your falcon. And possibly reduce the time for other falcon skills.

Weaponbelts could let you hold unlimited weapons. And/or hold things like sigils and shields.

Talons could increase the damage of your falcon. Or increase the max stats you can train your falcon up to.

And probably artifact javelin/daggers for people who like to throw weapons with the new throwing skill.

And tinderboxes, cause I hate that they decay now.

An artifact that gives you the constitution defence, like one that gives the lifevision defence.

[Kikon]

I know I've suggested to you in emails about Bow abilities you could buy (so like being able to buy the AIM command onto your bow, or things like serration), but idly wondering if arti-bows can get BOWSTANCE added to them, so we can wear them and be able to wield them without balance lost.

New artifacts or tweak ideas:

AIM command ability for artibows as an addon.
Ability to add on serration and such to artibows.
Increase item hold of artifact-packs.
Introduce the dominion crystal into the arti shops (portable mini-MC, though it was a special auction item).
Decrease STR arties from 4000cr for +3. I mean really, I don't think anyone is going to spend 4k on str. Just have them at the same levels as Int.
Change reflection wand to Magi reflection.
An artifact so you can force commands.
The 200+ health when you bounce off shield always looked neat to me on Imp. Worth considering.
Artifact to increase experience gain.
Artifact that increases gold drop from mobs.


Might be able to think of more later.

[Atrapoema]

Boots of the predator - give the wearer the stealth ability.

Artifact scabbard - acts as a weaponbelt, but only holds one sword of any type. While the sword is within the scabbard, it significantly slows decay time.

Already have the shroud artifact

[Atrapoema]

Some people prefer stealth. It doesn't wear off like shroud does.

[Kikon]

Artifact that allows you to diagnose other players. Should be cheap, but it'd be neat thing to have.

[Atrapoema]

An artifact that will allow you to completely customize an attack (that would be comparable to punch/kick). The customization would still have to go through the system and be approved, though, so we didn't get things like world-shattering attacks. Just something that allows you to have a personal attack that no one else will have.

[Quiescent Drake]

Artifact pigeon. I know we had one auctioned off before, but with the bottomless letter satchel for sale already, it just seems pointless to not also have the pigeon, which served as a way to mail letters from anywhere in the realm. If the pigeon were released as an artifact available for everyone to buy, maybe the satchels would sell more too.

Artifact javelins. What with the new returning system in Weaponry and the popularity of the javelin as a projectile weapon, it seems only logical to have runed, venantium, and ultimate javelins available for purchase.

A bottomless pack, or pouch, or kitbag, et cetera. Basically like a wyrmskin pack - that is, non-decaying - except holds even more, to the point where you can put as much as you want in it, no matter what you're putting in there. It'd really help those of us who carry over 300 vials/bandages combined and have to put 50 at a time away into several normal packs to refill for anyone.

I know this one may be harder to code, but a shopkeeping butler or something. Basically, they will keep your wares organized - that is, you just need to set the products on the shelves and, when you tell the butler to organize the wares, they will all organize in an order like this:

Shelf 1

shirt123 a white shirt
shirt234 a black shirt
shirt345 an orange shirt
pants123 white pants
pants234 black pants
sandals123 black sandals

Shelf 2

bottle123 a bottle of rum
bottle234 a bottle of beer
glass123 a glass of tequila

et cetera.

[Quiescent Drake]

A base artifact, which has no powers on it whatsoever. The purpose of this would be to add powers onto, because sometimes, existing artifact items don't lend themselves well to a person's RP (such as a wolf wearing web boots). The item would have to come in the form of a token or something, or just a blank template-type item that would be submitted to the customization queue. When submitted, the owner could customize it to be a cloak, or a set of fangs, or whatever - wearable or no, all logical properties determined by the owner. From there on, they can just have a permanent item to RP with (maybe you always wanted that black, voice-muffling helmet so you could be Darth Vader!), or they can add artifact powers onto it so that they better tailor themselves to the character's RP than a boot-wearing wolf would.

Customizable mounts. For 50cr, you can submit a mount to the customization queue and... customize it. Would be reserved only to artifact mounts.

[Rlift Mirumoto]

If you haven't planned it already, the tattoo artifact that doesn't use inks or what ever.

Also the lasso to use BIND.

An artifact that will give telepathy double their mind print ability, or somethins of the like.

An artifact for Sentaari to give them a 'Kai Strike' like ability
Something to let Tekuraists cause more bleeding when they break a limb or even more bleeding in general.

[Varian]

I will point out we already have a list of items we are making (such as the pigeon, javelins, weaponbelt, casks (for elixirs), etc. So I will not count those. However, I have already seen a few here that were not on my list. I will let you know what we select soon enough!

[Winger_Imperil]

Smelling salts - Resurrect a living player with no cost 1/day

[Borscin]

Ones that let you extricate/rez.

Ones that let you night/light.

Add some add-on artifact abilities to bows. Such as aiming, wind, bowstance, snipe.

[Atrapoema]

An artifact that significantly decreases the time it takes to get back from mirror/Undead death.

An artifact akin to the lockets (made to be a set of two shared between friends, etc) that has its own language. Mainly for RP, would allow two who share the matching artifacts to talk in says without worrying about anyone overhearing them.

[Winger_Imperil]

Alchemical substance - Lets you coat 1 weapon in an 'alchemical substance'. From that point on, the weapon's damage type changes to the new substance. So 'Alchemical frost', 'alchemical fire', 'alchemical electricity', 'alchemical venom'. You can then WIPE #weapon SUBSTANCE INTO BOTTLE, to put the substance back into it's bottle.
