Artifact

Artifacts are a new type of equipment introduced in Module 2: Shadowmantle. Each artifact offers stat bonuses, and a power that can be used in combat. Characters have one primary and three secondary artifact slots. Only the artifact in the primary slot can have its power used. The first secondary slots unlock at level 50, the next at 60, the last secondary slot at level 70, so that characters can benefit from more stat bonuses. Identical artifacts cannot be equipped simultaneously. Artifacts can be used in PvP.

Some Artifacts are part of an Artifact Set, when a character equips the matching Artifact, Artifact cloak, and Artifact belt they gain a set bonus.

Artifacts have ranks like companions, but do not gain experience. Instead, their rank increases by refining enchantments and runestones. Artifacts begin as quality at rank 1, and can advance to  quality at rank 30,  quality at rank 60,  quality at rank 100, and, finally,  quality at rank 140. As an artifact's rank increases, its stat bonuses increase. As an artifact's quality increases, its on-use power improves and its cooldown is reduced.

Also, like companions, a character's first artifact can be obtained through a quest, "Artifact Recovery".
