New World Artifacts – Guide to the special armor and weapons and where you can find them

earthpressnews

The endgame of New World is all about creating the perfect equipment. This also includes creating powerful artifacts. These have special effects that influence your playing style. In this guide, we at MeinMMO reveal everything you need to know about this.

How do artifacts work? Basically, you can create three artifacts:

  • A weapon
  • Armor – whereby the shield counts as armor
  • A gem

    • Artifacts always have an armor value of 700 and offer special effects that are not found anywhere else in the game. They have six perks, which is more than the usual legendary items. The first effect is Magnify, which always strengthens the attribute (strength, dexterity, intelligence, etc.) that you have the highest skill level.

    The guide was originally written by our former colleague Alexander Leitsch. On June 24, 2024, the MeinMMO editorial team released the last update to include the artifacts that have been added to the MMORPG since October 2023.

    Then there are one or two special effects before moving on to the two usual perks. At the very end there is a random perk, such as +7 percent critical damage, more damage from light attacks, etc.

    To give you an idea of ​​the artifacts, we have included two screenshots here – a weapon and an armor:

    Can I reforge perks? Yes, the fifth perk in each case. This is a classic bonus that you already have on your weapons, such as bleeding on critical hits or something similar.

    To reforge you need:

  • 1x Weapon Matrix
  • 250x Dark Matter
  • 5x plaster ball
  • 1x The desired perk material

    • How do you get the artifacts? These powerful pieces of equipment cannot simply be made, but you have to find them, for example in dungeons, in the open world or through PvP. We will tell you exactly where for each item in this guide.

    However, you won’t get the finished item there, but will have to complete a series of tasks to unlock each individual perk. This includes killing certain types of enemies. You can see the tasks directly in the interface once you have equipped the artifact.

    There is a console version coming for New World, here is the trailer:

    Finding the Artifact Weapons

    What else is happening in New World? Amazon is pressing the reset button. New World will become an action RPG in October 2024, which will also be available for PS5 and Xbox. The update is primarily intended to adapt and improve the gameplay and user interface for the console. The combat system is set to become much more action-packed and be adapted to controller control.

    In addition, all kinds of new content is planned that PC players should also benefit from. The first 10-player raid, for example, an extensive PvP zone or solo trials. The announcement was not well received, however: The MMORPG New World is currently on fire on Steam after the announcement from Amazon: Even a player with 5,000 hours has given up.
