Activatable Abilities

Antique of the Artisan uses Activatable Abilities, so you may want to review how to activate relics and what the activatable menu bar is.

Questline

Be forewarned, the quest to obtain a Meta Talisman is not for the impatient, frugal or faint of heart! To begin the multi-part quest you must travel just west of the Valor Shrine where the Forgotten Warrior statue awaits:

In order to begin a questline with the Forgotten Warrior statue, you will need to stand on the tile by the foot of the statue and speak any words to it:

Lessons of the Past

Lessons of the Past is a test of Valor in which you must prove your dedication to the arts as a Mythical Craftsman. You must first consult with the Spirits of Great professions of the Past to gain their knowledge and then gain their extraordinary powers into your skilled hands. You must then sacrifice corresponding resources to the tools enchanted by these great Spirits. Only after all the Spirits of the Great Professions are sated, will the Forgotten Warrior provide you with a Talisman of Power.

1. Spirits of Great Profession: The statue will tell you to visit the spirits of great professions of the past, which will imbue your stone into a tool. Each Spirit is in a location famous for its trade skills, the first is the blacksmith located at the Britain Crafting Area. These spirits will only be visible to you if you are on that part of the questline, no one else will see these spirits. You will need to absorb their knowledge into your stone by double clicking the stone and selecting the Spirit.
   1. 
2. Sacrifices to the Tool: The spirits will require a sacrifice of the type of resources commonly used in their great profession. The first is ingots to the blacksmithing profession, which you will have to provide all the ingots requested to the tool by double clicking the tool and selecting a pile of ingots from your bags or from the bank box.
   1. 
3. Repetition, Consistency, Success: Once this is fulfilled you will need to show your dedication to the Forgotten Warrior and they will appoint your another Spirits of Great Profession to track down and sacrifice the corresponding resources to the tool used by the Spirit of the Great Profession. Once all 8 Great professions have been pacified with the ritual the Forgotten Warrior will offer you the Antique of the Artisan Talisman of Power.
   1. 

Notes:

• When looking for the Spirits, they will be found inside a building related to their profession. They will only be visible to you(and others on the same step) and invulnerable, so check for yellow names!
• When sacrificing resources, you can place the resources in the bank and then use the tool to target the stack in your open bank.

Abandoning a Questline

You can abandon a previously empty or partially completed questline by using the context menu and selecting the "Abandon Quest".

After the context menu option has been selected you will see a prompt that will require you to type "I Agree" into the field then select "Continue".

Training

Antique of the Artisan has a unique leveling method which grants you experience through crafting. You will only gain experience from crafting the same item 25 times, after which you must change to crafting a different item or wait one hour before gaining experience again on the previously crafted item. Generally speaking, you should do all your regular crafting in the Britain Crafting Area, but this is especially important for leveling your Antique of the Artisan Talisman and its relics.

Mythical Crafting

Antique of the Artisan unlocks Mythical Crafting which allows you to create new rare items. Mythical Crafting requires Mythical Crafting Recipes which can be obtained as loot on Champion Bosses. Recipes can also be obtained at a 100% rate from a Level 7 Treasure Map chest. Once you have a Mythical Crafting Recipe, you can double click it with the character you wish to be able to craft this recipe, which will consume the scroll. Depending on which recipe you use, the Mythical Crafting Recipes will show up in their corresponding crafting menu area. For example a "royal cloak" will show in the "Tailoring Menu" under the "Shirts" Category. At the first level, you can attempt one Mythical Craft every 72 hours, however this cooldown will decrease as your talisman levels.

Bulk Order Deeds

After the completion of a Bulk Order Deed(BOD) but before turning in the completed BOD, you can receive extra rewards if you have an active and equipped Artifact of the Artisan. Currently any BOD turned in with the talisman equipped will have a chance to receive a Small Relic Fragment for the Recycler, Empowerer, Frugality, Imbueologist, or Perfectionist relics. Depending on which type of BOD is turned in while wearing the Artifact of the Artisan, you will have a high chance at either Mythical Thread for Tailoring BOD Rewards or Mythical Resin for Blacksmithing BOD Rewards.

Relics

There are currently 7 relics available for the Antique of the Artisan, most of which are passive and with some that are activatable. Each talisman has a maximum of four active relic slots and you get relic slots at levels: 1, 4, 7, 10.

Frugality

The Frugality relic provided a permanent decrease to the resources required for crafting. This bonus increases as Frugality levels and you gain relic experience based on the amount of material saved while crafting. So you’ll definitely want to level Frugality in the Britain Crafting Area. Frugality can stack with other areas or items which provide a resource reduction benefit. For example, if your Frugality relic provides 5% material reduction and you were crafting in Britain Crafting Area, your total may reduction would be 25%!

Notes:

• Reduce required resources by 0.5 * Level% (5% at max level)
• XP is gained by saving resources. This includes in the Britain Craft Area and Recycler.
• Requires 30000 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level
• Can be obtained via Small Relic Fragments

Recycler

The Recycler relic provides a (0.5 * Relic Level) chance your craft consumes 20% less materials when crafting. Its similar to Frugality, but it provides a much greater bonus and these material reduction bonuses stack so it’s possible to get some amazing material savings. For example, if you have a maxed out Frugality relic and you’re crafting in Britain Crafting Area and your Recycler relic activates, that would combine to make a 45% material savings!

Notes:

• Has a 0.5% * Level (5% at max level) percent chance to reduce the cost of resources by an additional 20%
• Requires 800 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level
• Will gain 1 XP per activation.
• Can be obtained via Small Relic Fragments

Imbueologist

The Imbuelogist relic increases the chance of making slayer items in Britain Crafting Area. Your chances to craft a slayer increases as the Imbueologist relic levels and you gain experience by successfully crafting slayer items. The chance to proc this relic is (Relic Level * 2).

Notes:

• Increases chance to imbue an item with Slayer by 2% * Level
• XP is gained by crafting a slayer.
• The bonus only increases current slayer chance. So if the chance of a slayer is 2% the increase will end in a total of 2.4% chance.
• Requires 3000 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level.
• Can be obtained via Small Relic Fragments

Perfectionist

The Perfectionist relic increases the chance of making exceptional items. Your chances to successfully craft an exceptional item increases by (Relic Level * 2) and gains experience through the process of by completing Bulk Order Deeds.

Notes:

• Increases the odds crafting an exceptional item by 2% * Level.
• XP is gained by turning in a BOD. XP scales with the difficulty of the BOD.
• Like Imbueologist it only increases current chance. An 80% exceptional chance increased by 20% will be 96% chance to craft an exceptional item.
• Requires 7000 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level.
• Can be obtained via Small Relic Fragments

Empowerer

The Empowerer is both a passive and activatable relic that first stores a charge shown on your active ability bar for each exceptional quality weapon you craft and then allows to apply your Empowered Charges to any non blessed wearable armor or clothing. You can currently stack 1000 Empowerment charges. Empowered items amplifies any player-vs-monster(PVM) damage dealt by the wearer for 1 second for every charge applied so they’re a valuable tool for player-vs-monster(PVM) combat! This bonus includes all forms of damage from melee/ranged to Magery and even pets! Damage amplification increases as the Empowerer relic levels, you can currently wear up to 5 Empowered Items at one time. You know that the Empowered effect is applied to the damage by the orange animation that appears on the target you are attacking.

Notes:

• Grants an active ability to empower a wearable piece of clothing or armor.
• Empowering an item will grant Level% damage increase against an enemy. 5 Items can be worth that are empowered at a time. This will increase all types of damage you're responsible for against any none player characters.
• Cannot be used on blessed items
• Gain charges on this ability by crafting exceptional items.
• XP is Gained by applying charges, you will gain Charges XP.
• Requires 15000 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level
• Can be obtained via Small Relic Fragments

Overstock

The Overstock relic provides a chance to get some free resources from most vendors you are purchasing from. When you complete a transaction, an offer will appear to accept the vendor’s overstocked items. Vendors have their applicable overstock item such as scribes offer blank scrolls, bowyer offers bolts or shafts, weaver offer cloth and so on. The chance for Overstock to proc is based on the relic’s level and you gain relic experience by accepting offers. The amount of overstock items is based on the total gold amount purchased from the vendor, so the more you buy, the more overstock items will be offered.

Notes:

• When activated, a vendor will offer you extra supplies which depend on the type of vendor. While be shown as a menu after purchasing from a vendor.
• XP is gained by activating the relic.
• Chance to activate is 2.5% * Level
• Requires 1000 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level.

The Art of the Deal

The Art of the Deal provides a massive discount off your total purchase only after a purchase has been completed. The chance that this procs is (Relic Level / 4) and it is currently set to give you a 95% discount on the total of the sale. As you can imagine, this can be a significant way to make some profit but before you get too excited, know the chances of procing are quite low. Art of the Deal gains relic experience based on activation.

Notes:

• When activated will reduce the purchase price of a vendor to only 5% of the total price, though you need to promise to pay them later!
• Chance to activate is 0.5% * Level
• XP is gained by activating
• Requires 600 * Level ^ 1.4 XP to gain a level.
