Daggerfall:FaqArtifacts

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

This section, DAGGERFALL's Artifacts, lists the artifacts available in the game. Currently this consists of most of the artifacts from ARENA.

WARNING: This Area Is Under Construction.

DAGGERFALL has all 16 of the ARENA artifacts (but none are in the demo). BETHESDA advises that they will be treated differently in DAGGERFALL to ARENA. The FAQ Co-Authors still suspect that many of their features will be the same, so in the meantime, we present a listing of the Artifacts, with relevant ARENA characteristics. Since they do have different characteristics to ARENA, it is very unlikely that you will be able to transport any over with an ARENA character. This will be revised as soon as we know more. BETHESDA also advises that there are further artifacts specific to DAGGERFALL, but at this stage they aren't releasing any details.

[edit] ARTIFACT EXPLANATION

Object Description / Weight (kg) / Condition When Found / Unhaggled Down Price for the Artifacts Rumour in Gold Pieces USE: Normal class restrictions apply, eg. mages can't use the Ebony Blade, as it is a katana. Artifact rings and amulets can be worn simultaneously with their normal counterparts. Each artifact disappears after a fixed number of uses, (the number increases with your characters level), & will then only be available through a quest again. You can increase its life expectancy by not using its artifact properties, or by having the item repaired (the latter restores the item to its original number of charges it had when you first found it). Repairing artifacts in ARENA was normally expensive. It is unknown whether DAGGERFALL contains the ARENA bug allowing you to have artifacts repaired for 13 gold by a shopkeeper in less than 15 hours.
