So here I was waiting to get my Artifact Weapon refined it to purple psyched then I equipped it! So here I am as a Dragonborn huge framed GF and my mighty Artifact "Dirk" Please Animation team can you make this better?


This weapon looks like some level 5 gray dagger, very bummed! I was hoping for some really fantastic looking ToD sculpted in the scales of dead Dragons Sword..... But all I got was this terrible, terrible looking awful bronze dirk?

    I cannot believe the Visual Dept. would allow such poor images for the first Artifact Weapons ever in the game? These should look amazingly fantastical and people that see them should be in awe...



    But its so small and has no detail and its bronze? I am equipped here with the http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Audacity_of_the_Golden_Dragon I just am baffled and completely bummed out!

    Yeah this is really bad that the GF's got such a tiny weapon. I'd honestly say that even just swapping the GF images for the SW images would be a decent start

    I actually think it's too big and have been thinking of finding a lowbie weapon to transmute it to but don't want to yet as I don't think the transmute will survive upgrading it. To me a pact blade should be the size of something like a dagger, similar in appearance to what Wiccan's use for an athame. This thing is the size of a gladius or bigger.

    Yeah, it's just the irony of them giving one class a gigantic weapon and another a tiny one. At least if your sword was massive it would be consistent. Some of the art in this game is great, and some really makes me shake my head.

    Another thing i don't like is how old weapons got enchant effect only on the blade (beautyful), now it's splattered all over the weapon.

    I keep transmuting my weapons in old weapon models cause else i'd end up with a motherfking big glowing "thing".

    Devs could focus on allowing weapon customization AND bring back old enchant look, with visual effect only on the blade and not splattered all over the entire weapon.

    Oh man that really is bad lol. Its kinda hard to get a nice mainhand as a GF. For example I've checked all possible 1H maces/hammers and they are all far too small so now I use a common troll hammer's skin

    ...you should see what most of the 'artifacts' look like when archaeologists dig it up. :D
    Stop making excuses. Be a man.
    If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
    Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

    Something that could of been REALLY cool is if the artifact gear started off really underwhelming at green quality. but as it ranked up got more and more impressive.
    People are way too negative, Why cant we just all get along.

    I transmuted my orb because it looks way too massive for a magic item.

    Come on Arts Dept! You clearly cannot be happy with these weapon skins? Please consider changing them this is supposed to be the ToD Artifact Weapons, and they are obtuse and displeasing at best!

    Intentional AD sink to force players to transmute, or earn lots of medallions of battle in CTA events to use those skins.
    The right to command is earned through duty, the privilege of rank is service.
