23.2.1 Artifact Purchases
Artifacts are items imbued with special powers that can grant you an edge in everyday life. They are almost always purchased with credits or iron coins, and are bound to you upon purchase. Should you lose the item somewhere, it will eventually return to your inventory. Refer to HELP ARTIFACTS for more information about the mystical items. PURCHASING POWERS ----------------- Artifacts can hold multiple powers on a single item. You can purchase most new powers to add to your existing artifacts rather than buying separate items for each power. Here is an overview of the syntax and what they do. In all instances where ARTIFACT PURCHASE is used, you can use AP for shorthand. ARTIFACT PURCHASE LIST View the list of artifacts we have available for purchase. ARTIFACT INFO <artifact> View extended information about a particular artifact. ARTIFACT PURCHASE <artifact> [ON <item|POWERORB>] Adds an artifact to your artifact shopping cart. This can used for buying a new item, buying a power on an existing item, or upgrading a power you already have. When adding powers to existing artifacts, simply specify the item you want to add the power to with "ON <item>". You can use either the artifact's database number, or its power name. e.g. AP 312 AP CONSTITUTION LEVEL 2 ON CLOAK1234 (adds Constitution Level 2 to an existing artifact) AP ELUSION ON CLOAK1234 (adds Elusion power to an existing artifact) AP WINGS (creates a new artifact with Wings power) For artifacts that have no pre-made item, they must be placed upon a item you own. If you wish to gift the artifact or do not own an item to place it upon, you can buy it upon an orb of power, however the artifact will not function until it is transferred onto a valid item. ARTIFACT PURCHASE APPLY <token> Applies one of the variety of artifact tokens we have (e.g. discount). If you have multiple items in your cart, the tokens will apply themselves to whatever will give you the most return. i.e. a 33% discount token will always pick a 2k cr arti over a 500cr arti. ARTIFACT PURCHASE CLEAR Empty your shopping cart. ARTIFACT PURCHASE CHECKOUT [CONFIRM] Review everything in your artifact shopping cart, and confirm your purchase. VIEWING YOUR HISTORY -------------------- You can view a history of your artifact purchases using RECEIPTS. ARTIFACT SHARING ---------------- All artifacts will reset into your inventory on a very regular basis, which means that they cannot be loaned out very long. They'll also never decay. They cannot be changed to reset to anyone else's inventory, so do not buy artifacts of any kind if you intend to sell them. You are not able to permanently transfer an artifact, including between characters under the same registration. ARTIFACT TATTOOS ---------------- Inwards from the main hall of Qeddwyn's artifact shop is a tattoo parlour (v18080), where you can purchase silver ink tattoos. These have unlimited uses and will never fade. They can also never be wiped off or removed. To buy the tattoo, BUY <tattoo> ON <body part>.
