Artifacts and The Curse of Icewind Dale
There are several artifacts available in this module including the fearsome Black Ice Beholder and three artifacts available from the PvP Campaign. Please check out their stats in the Artifact Collection.
Class Artifacts
New class-themed artifacts are available to both reward and support alts! Anyone with at least two characters that qualify for Icewind Dale will unlock a new quest. The reward for that quest is an artifact unique to the class being played… and that artifact is immediately available to all other characters on the account.
You can obtain these artifacts through a new quest, Vault of the Nine. You qualify for this quest by having at least two level 60 characters. It can be initiated by talking to Jarlaxle in Caer-Konig, the main town in Icewind Dale.
Completing Vault of the Nine gives the player an artifact specific to their class, and unlocks that Artifact for all other characters on the account, regardless of class and level. Just check the Reward Claims Agent in Protector's Enclave!
Note that the introduction to this quest is not yet available on Neverwinter Preview. The Artifacts can still be previewed in the Artifacts category of the Collections window.
NOTE: The icons and other 2d artwork associated with these artifacts are a work in progress. Please don’t bug the green square on the tooltips or the fact that the screenshot in the collections page is blank.

Every Level 60 character can run the quest. You can eventually unlock all of the Class Artifacts.
I eventually remembered your second question and edited in the answer above. Every Level 60 character can run the quest. You can eventually unlock all of the Class Artifacts.
Edit: haha, nevermind then

When you complete the quest, you get it on that character and then unlock it for all other characters. Those characters can then pick it up from the reward vendor. So if you complete it on all classes you can pick them all up from the reward vendor.
I suppose feedback may be premature, but these words made me happy.
Because if you can claim them infinitely as long as you don't have one in your posession, that has some serious implications with regard to levelling up artifacts.

You don't need a team , you just need at least two level 60 characters on your account .
I must say - this REALLY sucks.
I have ONE main character that only has a SINGLE boon from Sharandar and I've been playing regularly since beta/early-access.
My next highest alt is only about 30th level. It is going to take me YEARS to be able to qualify.
It's already going to take me probably another six months to even qualify for Icewind Dale.
With this expansion, you might just push me to completely stop playing characters and ONLY playing with the Foundry.

You mean every level 60 character that ALSO HAS THREE BOONS from Sharandar. :mad:

I must say, Eldarth, this isn't that big an issue. As long as you do dailies in either dread ring or Sharandar, you can get to the tier 3 boon in less than a month. in fact, because of how the dread ring dailies work, I think it only takes two weeks to get the tier 3 there.
Add in the character experience tomes and it shouldn't be hard for you to get a second character to 60. I have three characters there that all have tier 5 boons from the dread ring.
Requiring 2 qualifying level 60s seems actually quite fair - a way to encourage people to play more, but it also gives active players a reward in the form of those artifacts...a win-win for me.
It just seems like an unnecessary limitation. If I want to go into a higher level zone and get my rear-end handed to me, I should be allowed. That's usually how I level as well - trying to nibble away and survive mobs several levels above me.

You can get the first 2 sharandar boons in 1 day. The only real time limitation in sharandar are the dailies items that takes around 13-14 days to even be able to get (for boons 3-5) then the sparks.
Still waiting for the patch upload on preview to see the new artifacts and give feedback.
From what has been said, yes.
Glad to see that someone else shares my interpretation.
FEEDBACK:
Then only disadvantage of these new artifacts is that unlike every other artifact they can't be used to refine others. So unlike other artifacts where if you find a better artifact of the same type later your RP is transferable this is not the case for the class-based ones.
Perhaps they could change it so that for these you only get the same amount of RP as you put in if they are used as fodder for another artifact, without critical chance of course, to prevent exploitation.
FEEDBACK:
Err? The way I proposed means that if you fill one of these artifacts with X RP, and dump it into another of the same type (Power, etc) you get exactly X RP back.
That isn't infinity*1, that is X times one equals X.....
Whereas for every other artifact you could potentially get more RP back, and have the possibility of criticals.
The multiplier of 'one' above could be reduced after level 59, if needed. Don't see any obvious way to exploit this.
