Greetings, Adventurers!
Eight brand-new Artifacts have been added to the game to redefine your playstyle in Season of the Guardian. We caught up with System Designer Isaiah Cartwright for the design philosophy behind each one. As always, every Artifact includes its own quest line for upgrades. Check out an overview of the 3 weapons and 5 armor pieces below, and then let us know what type of Artifacts you’re looking forward to in future updates.
This hatchet is a wickedly sharp instrument with a malevolent aura. Its finely honed edge is capable of cutting through the toughest materials effortlessly, making it a fearsome tool in the hands of those who embrace the shadows.
Corruption: Debuffs last 25% longer. (Works on both weapons.)
Defile: Deal 2% more damage per debuff (max 5)
How to get: Defeat
Colossus of Memnon at the top of the Great Wall for a chance to receive this Artifact.
The goal was to make an Artifact that synergized with the right skill tree for Hatchet through longer debuffs. Granting bonus damage per debuff stack also encourages players to equip more of the underused skills from that tree to make the most of this combo.
A deadly weapon designed to deliver swift and precise strikes. Coated with a potent poison that lingers on its razor-sharp tip, this spear ensures that its victims face not only the immediate impact but also a lingering threat.
Poison Tipped: Heavy melee attacks with either weapon cause poison dealing 20% weapon damage for 5s.
Trenchant Crits: Heavy melee attacks deal +34% critical damage.
Trenchant Strikes: Heavy melee attacks deal +23% damage.
How to get: Complete the Siren Queen Trial at Spire of Melpomene for a chance to receive this Artifact.
Spear has a lot of synergy with Heavy attacks. With Venom, we played into that and tried to add a bit more poison status effects into the wild. The cross synergy also opens up additional builds since it benefits any heavy attack on other melee weapons. Originally this worked on non-melee attacks but it was clearly too powerful so we pulled it back to melee only.
A force of nature personified. With a massive, swirling blade that mimics the destructive power of a storm, this formidable weapon strikes fear into the hearts of adversaries as it cleaves through the battlefield.
Momentum: Successful attacks gain 3% movement speed for 3s. (Works on both weapons and stacks up to 10 times.)
Endless Spin: Whirlwind no longer needs to hit targets to continue spins, and can spin up to 12 times.
Fortifying Whirlwind: Whirlwind hits grant Fortify, increasing armor by 16% and Slash damage by 13% for 2s (Max 5 stacks).
How to get: This Artifact can be found in the Winter Rune Forge Spoils upon completion.
For Tempest Fury, we wanted to tap into

The War Within data includes an interesting addition: a new heirloom ring. The data indicates that it will be a reward from the pre-expansion patch event or a new World Event present in Khaz Algar.

The ring is created using Lifeless Stone Ring, which casts Infuse Memories. This spell requires three reagents:
