Online:Cut Content/Artifacts

Many artifacts were once planned to be added, some as dungeon rewards (which later became Undaunted Monster sets). Both used and unused artifacts have been used as the names of PVP Campaigns. Unused artifacts were a mix of returning artifacts from the franchise and brand new ones:

PvP Artifacts[edit]

Artifacts have been planned since Patch 2.4.0, adding skill icons for Auriel's Bow, Auriel's Shield, Spellbreaker, Volendrung, the Ebony Mail, and Sword of the Crusader. So far, only Volendrung has been added.

Dropped Artifacts[edit]

Various artifacts were previously available as usable weapons, coming with their own abilities and sets. They could be obtained from various Veteran Group Dungeons before being removed from the drop pool in Update 4, likely having been replaced with the Monster Helms system.
