Artifacts and duration

[Stormf]

I think this has been discussed before but I cant remember.

In my eyes an artifact is something special that should last forever. I cant see the point in xp'ing an arti to lvl10 just to see the con at 50%.

Anyone know how this works and if mythic plans to do something about it?

i heard something about a npc that would repair dura in NF can just be loose roumors(sp?) tho but yes i agree with u an arti should never break

I think the whole point is that you can only have 1 ever.

Then making a template with loads of artis would be pointless? When they break you cant get a new as I see it, since you can only get an arti once.

First of all you use loads of time to get the arti and scrolls (or using loads of money if you buy the scrolls). Seccond you use crap loads of time xp'ing them. Third you make a nice template with qua 100 armor pieces which can be expensive. All this to see the arti to break sometime, that sucks big time imo and I think many (if not all) will agree with me.

Hopefully Renwind is right about the NPC in NF

I had some bug one day... my ogli belt was on level 5, 92con and 100dur. I talked to an NPC to activate a new artifact, and i got the message: Your artifact seems broken (was only wearing one art), so i gave it to the NPC and got it back at 100con 100dur but lvl 0.

Perhaps they are working out something on it and i had the 'luck' of running into this... while it shouldnt work yet..? So you can repair it to full con/dur but you'll have to level it again? (dont get your hopes up thou, imo)

Goa told me they couldnt get it back to lvl 5, no further info.

Alternatively they will introduce some npc that you can hand in an artifact to and its resets to level 0 with full durability. Or maybe Catacombs will introduce new items that are as good (or better ) than artis so you will want a new template anyway.
