Blackthorn Artifacts are reskinned versions of other artifacts that append Bearing the Crest of Blackthorn to the end of the item name. Blackthorn Artifacts are identical (in nearly all cases) to other artifacts currently available; however, they use a different art type. They include new versions of: Lieutenant of The Britannian Royal Guard, Quiver of Infinity, Rune Beetle Carapace, Cloak Of Death, Cloak Of Life, Cloak Of Power, Cloak Of Silence, Conjurer's Garb, Mystic's Garb, Shroud of the Condemned, Folded Steel Reading Glasses, Mace and Shield Reading Glasses, Night Eyes, Crimson Cincture, and Tangle. Blackthorn Artifacts also introduced the Epaulette--a new wearable that occupies the robe slot.

Art Types

Blackthorn Artifacts come in several different art types. The equipment slot is the same as the artifact on which the Blackthorn artifact is based; however, it is not possible to obtain a Blackthorn artifact in the same art type as the artifact on which it is based. For instance, one cannot obtain a Blackthorn artifact based on the Lieutenant of The Britannian Royal Guard in the form of a sash; it is only available as a Gargish sash, Surcoat, or Tunic.

Acquisition

Blackthorn Artifacts are obtained from an Agent of the Crown. Double-clicking the Agent of the Crown opens the rewards dialog. Credits toward a Blackthorn Artifact are earned by turning in Minax artifacts. Minax artifacts are obtained as a reward for slaying creatures inside the Castle Blackthorn Dungeon. Minax Artifact drop rates are influenced by luck [1]. The number of credits ranges from ten to one-hundred based on the particular Blackthorn Artifact.

History

Blackthorn Artifacts and the associated Minax artifacts were introduced in Publish 84 in late October, 2013. Minax artifacts were initially obtained by killing town invaders, but they can now be obtained from all areas of Castle Blackthorn Dungeon.
