| |
|
| Many years ago, a sect of powerful enchanters called the Ankyrean Order
| | [[Category:The World of Aetolia]] |
| discovered a secret power that, among other things, allowed them to
| |
| create items imbued with magical properties of mythical potency. But the
| |
| Ankyri grew haughty and jealous, and denied others the use of their
| |
| powerful creations. Soon, some would say inevitably, the Ankyri were
| |
| destroyed by their lust for power.
| |
| | |
| Of the Ankyri only one survives today, [[Qeddwyn]] the Wise. After the
| |
| destruction of his order, he collected the stores of powerful weapons
| |
| and other items imbued with the secret power of the Ankyri, and now
| |
| makes them available to any who have the desire and the means to acquire
| |
| an Ankyrean artifact. As an Ankyri himself, [[Qeddwyn]] also possesses the
| |
| arcane secrets of imbuing Ankyrean artifacts with additional powers.
| |
| | |
| [[Qeddwyn]]'s shop can be found in the neutral city of [[Delos]]. There,
| |
| Ankyrean artifacts can be examined up close before buying.
| |
| | |
| [[Qeddwyn]] can also imbue your purchased artifacts with additional artifact
| |
| powers. In this way one could own, for example, a robe that reduces mana
| |
| usage like robes of the magi AND that eliminates the need for food and
| |
| sleep like a bracelet of sustenance. The possibilities are virtually
| |
| limitless.
| |
| | |
| Some powers may only be added to weapons, and others may only be added
| |
| to wearable artifacts (robes, rings, collars, etc.) To see the powers
| |
| with which [[Qeddwyn]] can imbue your artifacts:
| |
| | |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT ARTIFACT POWERS
| |
| or
| |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT WEARABLE POWERS
| |
| or
| |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT WEAPON POWERS
| |
| | |
| To learn more about a specific artifact power,
| |
| | |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT <power> (i.e. ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT SUSTENANCE)
| |
| | |
| [[Qeddwyn]]'s price for adding a power to one of your artifacts is as
| |
| listed, with these exceptions: If you are upgrading an artifact power
| |
| (for example, from level 2 magic damage bonus to level 3), the full cost
| |
| of the old power will be subtracted from the price. If this is
| |
| confusing, don't worry. You can simply ask [[Qeddwyn]] how much a proposed
| |
| artifact power would cost:
| |
| | |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT <power> FOR <artifact>
| |
| or
| |
| ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT <power> FOR <artifact> LEVEL <new level>
| |
| | |
| So if you wanted to inquire about the cost of adding the asp power to
| |
| your artifact rapier, you would ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT ASP FOR RAPIER. If you
| |
| wanted to inquire about adding level three magic damage bonus to your
| |
| artifact robe, you would ASK QEDDWYN ABOUT MAGIC_POTENCE FOR ROBE LEVEL
| |
| 3.
| |
| | |
| Finally, when you are ready to purchase a new artifact power for one of
| |
| your artifacts:
| |
| | |
| BUY ARTIFACT POWER <power> FOR <artifact>
| |
| or
| |
| BUY ARTIFACT POWER <power> FOR <artifact> LEVEL <level>
| |
| | |
| So to imbue your artifact rapier with the asp ability, you would BUY
| |
| ARTIFACT POWER ASP FOR RAPIER. To buy level three magic damage bonus for
| |
| your artifact robe, BUY ARTIFACT POWER MAGIC_POTENCE FOR ROBE LEVEL 3.
| |
| | |
| You may also transfer powers from one artifact to another, if the power
| |
| is transferrable and the artifact it is going to is able to receive it.
| |
| | |
| BUY ARTIFACT TRANSFER <power> FROM <old artifact> TO <new artifact>
| |
| | |
| All artifact power transfers cost 25 Bound Credits, and if the artifact
| |
| from which a power is being transferred has no powers left after a transfer,
| |
| it will be destroyed.
| |
| | |
| All artifacts will reset into your inventory on a very regular basis,
| |
| which means that they cannot be loaned out very long, but that they also
| |
| cannot be stolen for very long. They'll also never decay. They cannot be
| |
| changed to reset to anyone else's inventory, so do not buy artifacts of
| |
| any kind if you intend to sell them.
| |
| | |
| A list of artifacts can be found in the following files. Feel free to
| |
| ask [[Qeddwyn]] about the properties, if you are curious for more
| |
| information or for prices.
| |
| | |
| == Artifact tattoos ==
| |
| | |
| Artifact tattoos are also available in [[Qeddwyn]]'s shop. These will not
| |
| decay, nor can they be wiped off.
| |
| | |
| Some artifacts will have an automatic prefix or suffix attached to their
| |
| description. You can hide these prefixes and suffixes with the following
| |
| commands:
| |
| | |
| HIDE <artifact>
| |
| - Hide any extra descriptions on the item.
| |
|
| |
| REVEAL <artifact>
| |
| - Display any extra descriptions on the item.
| |
|
| |
| ARTIFACT LIST
| |
| - List all the artifacts you own.
| |
|
| |
| ARTICALL [ALL]
| |
| - Return your artifacts to your person. Including ALL will return artifacts, such as casks, that normally will stay in place back to you.
