Artifact

Artifacts are a piece of equipment that every character can wear. They do not take an armor or jewelry slot: they go into a dedicated Artifact slot, and their option only works while they sit there.

Each Artifact looks like a puzzle piece made of linked hexagons. The number of hexagons tells you its type: one hexagon is Type 1, two hexagons is Type 2, and so on. They arrived with the third update of Season 18 Part 1, together with the renewed Baruka event map.

The Spider Artifact fits the Spider Artifact slot and needs level 800. There are Types 1 to 7. Every piece rolls one option from its type's list, with a random value between 1 and 10 at +0 (attack speed rolls 1 to 5). The last column shows the top value of each option at +15.

Icon	Type	Possible option	Value at +15
	1	Defense, defense success rate, base defense or damage reduction	DEF +106 / success +106 / base DEF +78 / damage −45
	2	Strength, Dexterity, HP, Energy or Lead (Command)	+56 to the chosen stat
	3	Max HP, max MP, max AG, or a fourth max stat (the guide names it Lead at +0 and SD at +15)	+158
	4	Excellent damage, critical damage, attack speed or skill power	Excellent / critical +78, speed +20, skill power +56
	5	Elemental defense, elemental attack, or their success rates	DEF / ATK +56, success rates +106
	6	Min, max or overall attack/wizardry, or min, max or overall curse	+56
	7 (rare)	Max or overall attack/wizardry, or max or overall curse	+62

• Press the Artifact button in your Inventory window to open the Artifact Slot window, then drag the piece from your bag into it.
• The Artifact must match the slot: only a Spider Artifact goes into the Spider Artifact slot.
• You cannot wear two pieces of the same type, for example two Type 1 Artifacts.
• Fill every Artifact slot to switch on the Full Set Option. For the Spider Artifact it gives all stats +100.

You build Artifacts out of Artifact Fragments. The fragments are a clear reward of the Fortress of the Imperial Guardian: Baruka event map, which after this update needs level 1,000 or higher to enter. Take the fragments to the Chaos Goblin in Noria and use the combination below.

An Artifact can be enhanced 15 times, up to +15, at the Chaos Goblin in Noria. Each try costs an Artifact Upgrade Stone and some Zen. A failed try does not destroy the piece; it falls back to +1 instead. See Item Upgrade (+1 to +15) for how other gear is enhanced.

If you no longer need a piece, you can dismantle it. Breaking down one Artifact gives back 1 Artifact Upgrade Stone.
