Trouble finding 4th artifact

zaarakizaaraki Member Posts: 13
edited June 2015 in General Discussion (PC)
Hello, right now i am sitting at 1920 item level and the best way to get 2000 and finally be able to run tos, cc and gwd is to get my last forth artifact.

I am using sigil of oathbound paladin, sigil of the scourge and Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue. What is the easiest 4th artifact to get? I was thinking to delete my 70 SW (since i have only 2 char slots) and make GWF for sigil of the great weapon but leveling that char to 70 just because i need 1 artifact is kinda waste.

Isnt there an easier solution? I dont have any ZEN and running Kessell and Elol over and over hoping for the artifact drop is getting rly boring.

    You might be able to find one on the AH. Aside from that, there really aren't any easy ones to get. You can see where each one can be found by hitting ctrl-J in game and selecting the artifacts tab.

    ...you have to mouse-over the lowest rarity version there to learn that.

    Don't delete your character. Make the SW to make AD so that you can have 500 Zen (or 250000 AD) to buy 2 character slots. It can be cheaper if the character slot is on sale. Alternatively, spend $5 to get 500 Zen to buy 2 extra character slots.

    Good advice!

    You could grind a few Dread Ring daily dungeons - sometimes you get lucky and get an artifact from the chest at the end (can't remember name). If you try several times and still don't get it, maybe move on to another method . . .

    Do u need specific gauntlet for that? i have mithral (second best) for like 3 weeks now, been doing the dungeons every day and nothing, if the drop rate is the same as in kessel or elol then not rly great method ;_; .

    just want to point out that you can't really do t2 with 2000, nobody will group with you and you'll be constantly vote kicked if you try to join t2 with 2000. realistic min is 3000 and more like 3600 is wanted. GL

    The most important thing is knowing how to play right. Getting the right build to maximize dps, survivability, or utility; depending on which class you are. Gear will come in time, find a good guild and you will be set.

    Not true. He's right about 2k on the nose being too low, but if you get in the 2500 range and up and at least have a greater or better weapon enchant and some form of armor enchant, and have some level of proficiency in your character, you will most likely be ok.

    I run t2's consistently and easily with a 2800 ilvl, and that is with 5 orange artifacts, if that goes to show how high 3k actually is.

    3k isn't high.

    Consider that the major armor enhancement gives 120 ilvl each and you can have 8 of them... That's 960 ilvl right there.

    I like the DC and CW artifacts - consider using one of your free slots to level one of those to 60, go to IWD to get the quest, then just unlock that artifact...

    Consider you cannot apply major armor enhancement on armor which is less than ilevel 120.

    He already used the free slot for a SW and got the Sigil for the SW.

    I've gotten 2 Lathander artifacts from Dread Rings. Lotta playing, but you can stack
    up to 3 quests and plow thru them when you have time. Any of the mini dungeons
    can have one.

    Oh, above poster is right, that is the sure way. If you're not good at PvP yet you
    can hang out in Icewind for open PvP. Be sure to get Trade of Blades daily
    quest first, then win a team match.
    Did you really think anyone could steal the power of the god of thieves?

    Yes, only the Admantine Gauntlet gets you the Artifact which in this case would be the Eye of the Lathander, gives you defensive stats 1000 Defense, 1000 Life steal and 600 incoming health bonus, at Mithral Quality level, good for solidifying your defense.

    The complete Lathander Set, i.e. Eye, Belt and Cloak, is well worth having if you spend most of your time soloing. It doesn't need to be Mithral, mine is only Epic, but it only really comes in to its own if you have a Soulforged enchantment in your armour. When the SF kicks in, you come back to life with the measly few HP from the SF plus 50% of your HP from the Lathander Gift. You are also immune to return to life injuries which will save you a fortune in Injury Repair Kits.. As a side bonus, your ability to revive dead comrades with the Eye can make you welcome in some places :)

    You can have 4. There is a Bloodcrystal Raven Skull for 24k glory and no other campaign requirement. With the 2x glory and NCL week running, 24k glory isn't hard to get. You may get a better artifact later but likely you are going to get a better artifact of power and the Skull is also an artifact of power. Whatever RP you put into the Skull will only help you to refine your next artifact of power, or your current one.

    I thought you could only have 4. Whenever I try to add one to one of my 4 pieces: gauntlets, armor, greaves, helmet, it tells me it will overwrite the current enhancement....
