[edit] Overview

Artifacts are objects which heroes can wear (equip) which benefit them and the player in a variety of ways. There are five classes of artifacts (in increasing order of power): items, treasure, minor, major and relic.

Potions are also considered artifacts, however, they are not equipped on the hero but can rather be used in the same way as spells during combat or othewise.

Artifacts can also be categorized by whom they benefit. Some benefit the hero only (i.e. Dwarven Hammer, some benefit his army only (i.e. Crusader's Mace), some benefit both (i.e. Shield of Order), while some benefit the player, by providing growth to a town, increasing the efficiency of an adventure map skills, etc. (i.e. Sack of Gold).

[edit] Comments

Please note that most artifacts which give benefits to the hero's army do not affect other heroes in the same army. There are exceptions however - both the Boots of Speed and Equestrian's Gloves increase the movement of the entire army including heroes (but not necessarily by 25/50%).
