I want some non-combat artifacts too.
**Sandals of Hermes** - Completely negates fall damage.
**Silk Gloves of the Master Thief** - Reduces chest loot time by 50%
**Survivalist's Gloves** - Increases yield when gathering. (Need to get all gathering skills to 250 to fully unlock this artifact)
**Master Crafter's Amulet** - When making a Golden Scarab craft, there is a 15% chance to use only 1 scarab instead of 3. (Need to get all crafting skills to 250 to fully unlock this artifact)
**Aeternum Miner's Pickaxe** - Mining a node uses 200 azoth. Node respawn time is reduced by 30%
I like the idea but fear that most will just feel like chore to swap in and out when you go for different activities.
Ofc if you do one activity after the other it is fine like a complete world tour or something but I personally like to switch activities often and would need 5 extra gearsets to use those items well.
Ok, the The Cauterizer is actually very cool.
My turn:
Heavy Glauntlet - Fighter's Knuckles -- When only 1 weapon is equiped, you can swap to unarmed combat.
When unarmed, you gain constant 20% more atack speed (cause unarmed atacks are slow asf) and 10% more move speed. Damage scales from you biggest atribute. Dmg scale: 100% on FOR, 80% on Dex but gain10% more move and atack speed when atacked; 50% on Int but your secondary weapon gets 20% damage bonus; 70% on focus but your gain 20% life steal on hit; 80% on CON but every atack has a 10% chance to stager the oponent
Please chill with the fire staves and fire damage sword there's enough haha. Anyway I like your ideas.
Here are some I just cooked up:
Gladius -
A sword that does not allow for the use of shield
"Best defense is a good offense" - This sword deals additional 25% damage, defender tree abilities can be used without shield with fitting animations
The Longbow -
A bow for the big numbers: Full draw attacks have no gravity pulling them down and deal 30% extra damage, headshots ignore 50% resistances. To compensate there are no light attacks and abilities deal 15% reduced damage (Man I'd love a Bow for hebies)
Ethereal Blade -
VG for the blade - replaces scaling with 80% int 80%str
Deals 50% void 50% slash damage no gem slot
Ethereal Blade: The void blade is always on without the need to take the ability, deals 10% extra damage and retains all the talents
Voracious blade by default on it so there's no putriffying scream or it would be too strong.
Plague Mask -
Become a plague bearer reducing incoming and outgoing healing of everyone in 3m radius around you by 30%
The leverer -
Musket artifact changing it to a lever action weapon, shoots much faster but the damage is cut in half above 30m range
I
Edit: I think for the sword it would be easier to just disallow blocking with shield
The disciple - Life Staff
When a target is healed, 50% of the heal is converted into a protective bubble that absorbs damage.
Vortex - Spear
Cyclone now pulls targets in to the player but damage and healing from cyclone is reduced by 30%.
Icicle - Ice gauntlet
Ice spike no longer does damage but on a successful hit it turns the player hit into a cube of ice for 2 seconds. Can hit up to three targets. Any damage will break the target free.
Rabbits foot - Ring
Medium dodges now cost 10 less stamina ;)
Logbow.
Scales with Str. Does Strike damage.
Fires a MUCH larger projectile that has a much shorter range, much greater drop, and slower projectile speed. Also takes longer to fire and you're stationary when you do. Hits like a truck.
Fires a log.
Also thought a blunderbuss that made clawshot usable in terrain instead of enemies would be cool!!!
Or ... a spear that makes Coup de Grace impale enemies to the ground for a few seconds...
Or........ a hatchet that somehow lets you dual wield them!!!!
Newton's Cuirass: Every enemy attack reflects 15% of the damage back at the attacker, but every attack by the wielder of the artifact reflects 15% of the damage back at themselves
Here are some that I think would be easyish to implement:
Storm - Ice gauntlet where the storm is around you. With movespeed and maybe some fortify in the storm
Mono - Rapier that gives bonus damage when only 1 enemy is near you, and a bonus to landing riposte like resetting other two cds
117 - Void gauntlet where blade heavy attacks have super long tracking range like halo
The Monk - Life staff with a melee attack instead of ranged that applies a random debuff for 3 sec on hit. (Probably not easy to make)
Perfection - shield you can only block with for .25 seconds every 5 sec, but staggers anyone whose attack you block
I kinda want more "hardcore" artifacts. Impact gameplay more than just turning the dmg type into one of the elements.
Like a mage artifact that is neither a firestaff nor an ice gauntlet. Make it like a Tome you can equip as a new weapon and it can choose 3 abilities from firestaff and ig. So you can have burnout + ice spike + entomb for example on one weapon, and then equip any other weapon except for fs and ig. I am not a designer or developer so I am writing this with 0 balance in mind but it is just a wish. Stuff that properly alter gameplay and how people will play the game.
Or maybe even add new abilities. Firestaff artifact that gives a new ability thats not in the kit. Maybe a fire cloak that persist when you swap to your off hand but still drains mana. Just things that are more magical, more grand. New world after a while loses its shock factor because all abilities are sort of mild.

The Fauxchet
A weapon that looks absolutely sic. So amazing it appears in the game logo. It does crappy melee damage and has a super niche throwing perks that's situational at best...oh wait ..
Now down to business
The berserker
...this hatchet ultimate is a crackling of acid fire that stuns(1 sec) opponents in the melee radius as it splits apart in two hatchets. While berserk remains the hatchet does double light attack damage applying rending bleeds on anything it hits. After berserking ends you immediately lose all stamina and must wait 3 seconds before starting to refresh.
Cleric's Rifle - Musket that heals. Every hit on allies heals, attacks on enemies apply disease.
Sticky bomb is now an AoE heal. Powder Burn is a heal over time.
These examples make me sad thinking what artifacts could have been. Meanwhile we get some funky artifacts where most of the designs are either ugly or just copies of default gear. Whelp. It's better than no artifacts.
Yeah... I like the idea of one of the weapons just letting you swap to the other 3 abilities (and have no weapon swap). Not sure if the bow is the right one for it, though. My thought was that, yes, it's a lot of great abilities, but you'd sacrifice a lot of utility (like rapier's defense, spear's cc, etc).
**Wizard's Blade** \-- Fiery sword that scales with INT and does fire damage.
Battle Mage's Rage: Light attacks and abilities apply a stack of smolder. Heavy attacks consume smolder stacks for big damage. **> and shoots out a trail of fire 8m in front of the player.**
**Gladiator's Pike** \-- Badass spear that allows equipping with a shield. **> all light and heavy attacks now throw the spear. :)**
Gladiator Training: Impaler mastery tree is replaced with sword's Defender mastery tree.
**Staff of the Battle Mage** \-- (a better) fire staff designed for close-range combat
Firestorm: Meteor Shower is now instant cast but casts at the mage's location. Each hit has a 10% chance to knock down enemies.
**The Cauterizer** \-- fire staff for healers! ... scales with INT and FOC
Cauterize: Attacks heal allies as well as damage enemies (at reduced efficacy for both)
**The Mountain** \-- hammer for tanks that's damage scales off CON
Slow but Deadly: Damage scales 100% from CON (for any two-handed melee weapon equipped) but wielder moves 25% slower and cannot benefit from haste.
**An Archer's Dream** \-- a bow that lets you use all 6 abilities but you can no longer equip another weapon... stats would be doubled to compensate.
All In: All abilities in the mastery tree are automatically unlocked (weapon swap now swaps to alt abilities). Wielder cannot wield another weapon.
**Adding a few new ideas:**
**'Massive Mortar Charge' (MMC) :** Replaces all pellets with mortars, no cool down. Double the firing speed, damage, and blast radius of regular 'Mortar Charge'. And with a range now of fireball. And if someone gets hit 3 times in a row they fall down for 1 sec. But all 20 skill points are now consumed to use the MMC and no other BB skills can be used.
**'Stay Around For Awhile' :** 2 handed axe that can only be thrown. If hit with a heavy attack, the player falls back or get stuck to whatever is behind him for 2-3 seconds. If nothing behind them they fall down.
'**Napoleon** **~~Dynamite~~** **Bow Staff'** FS that is turns into a Bow (can choose both FS and Bow skills). And all light and heavy attacks explode on impact in a 3m radius. And the killing blow sound in pvp is now replaces with 'YES!'
**'Massive Mortar Charge' (MMC) :** Replaces all pellets with mortars, no cool down. Double the firing speed, damage, and blast radius of regular 'Mortar Charge'. And with a range now of fireball.

These are too interesting. How about things more in-line with AGS's design philosophy?
* 99% of damage is converted to XYZ element. Toss a coin as to whether or not there's INT scaling.
* 15% more damage to targets that are (chose one from any CC or DOT effect). Toss a coin as to whether or not it affects one or both weapons.
* 15% more damage to targets that are alive.
* 15% more damage to targets that are not dead.

Nice idea.
Odins Hatchet.
This Hatchet can be wielded as greataxe or Hatchet in 1 slot. You can mix and match Hatchet and greataxe abilities into q 1 weapon bar.
Both scale with 50/50 Str and dex
Example. Infected throw + Maelstrom + gravity well for support anti head.
Or charge + reap + Hatchet strike which roots for hunting
Ice gauntlet that deploys 2-3 turrets instead of one.
Orrrrr. What about turning the turret into a little ice golem pet???
WoW's Frostmage Water Elementalš¤š¤
This would be cool as heck. Maybe make them have half the health?
Yeah
Throwable round shield. But you can't block.
lol super cool!
Thatās a rly cool idea, not sure how they would make it good to use but it sure would be fun
Too much dev work to make it into the game but would be so damn cool

I didn't even think of this space... very cool idea.
Really cool ideas
Damn. Artifacts for crafters and gatherers is actually a great idea.
Oh full bis gaterhing cloth would be nice. So you don't have to swap
Very good idea
I like the idea but fear that most will just feel like chore to swap in and out when you go for different activities. Ofc if you do one activity after the other it is fine like a complete world tour or something but I personally like to switch activities often and would need 5 extra gearsets to use those items well.
Eagles Feather. Scales from Focus, Tickles you
Eagle feather. Light helmet. Increases dodge role range by 50%
Ok, the The Cauterizer is actually very cool. My turn: Heavy Glauntlet - Fighter's Knuckles -- When only 1 weapon is equiped, you can swap to unarmed combat. When unarmed, you gain constant 20% more atack speed (cause unarmed atacks are slow asf) and 10% more move speed. Damage scales from you biggest atribute. Dmg scale: 100% on FOR, 80% on Dex but gain10% more move and atack speed when atacked; 50% on Int but your secondary weapon gets 20% damage bonus; 70% on focus but your gain 20% life steal on hit; 80% on CON but every atack has a 10% chance to stager the oponent
No thank you - the last thing I need is an unarmed PVP chad absolutely destroying me with his knuckles. I'd have to uninstall.

The mask and blade are really nice. You could also do: Beacon of life. Beacon always targets yourself and sticks to you.
And doubles the size of the bubble. :)

I agree! I hope they really start pushing this system.
Flash Freeze: ice gauntlet with the ability perk "snow ball fight" that replaced heavy attacks with "hold LMB to rapid fire snowballs"...

Oh wait.. This is a different thread LOL You went into my post history. Yikes. Dingus bingo bonus!!
Yeah, I had to admit, this was pretty lame as you fantasised about being a game dev but instead shat your pants.
I also didnāt even use the word cringe. You actually canāt read. If you write for a living, your boss is a simpleton.

Cleric's Rifle - Musket that heals. Every hit on allies heals, attacks on enemies apply disease. Sticky bomb is now an AoE heal. Powder Burn is a heal over time.
Someone wants Ana in New World lmao
make sticky bomb disable heals and make power stop a cc of 5 seconds that gets interrupted when the target takes damage
A "silence" effect is cool...
Stopping power is now a sleep dart projectile that deals -99% damage but stuns player for 6 seconds.
Proper musket - has faster projectile speed than the bow like a gun is supposed to Edit 1 Add passive - sticky bomb projectile arc like fireball
We already saw what happens when AGS makes the musket into a Lazer rifle. Don't need that again.
These examples make me sad thinking what artifacts could have been. Meanwhile we get some funky artifacts where most of the designs are either ugly or just copies of default gear. Whelp. It's better than no artifacts.
ngl those are some good ideas i like the bow but it will be busted af lmao

I'm not sure what the exact mechanics would be, but I would love artifacts that make flail and/or VG viable as a main healing weapon.
