New Artifact Gear

New artifacts have been discovered and developed, allowing heroes to further improve and customize their adventuring experience!

Artifact Off-Hand Items: These artifacts can be equipped in the Off-Hand item slot.They improve like any other artifact, but have two special qualities, found under the new "Manage Artifact Powers" option in the item's right-click menu:

Class Feature: This modifies one of your class' Class Feature powers in a special way, providing more effectiveness or new twists. The item starts with one random Class Feature bonus unlocked, but a Cube of Augmentation from the Wondrous Bazaar can unlock another random Class Feature on the item.While only one can be selected at a time, unlocked bonuses can always be chosen again for 5,000 Astral Diamonds.

Stat Increase: Upon reaching Epic quality, these artifacts give a +100 bonus to a random stat among the eight usually found on Artifact slot items.Like Class Feature bonuses, each of these stats can be unlocked, and unlocked stats can be chosen again for 5,000 Astral Diamonds. In addition, a Cube of Augmentation can also be consumed to attempt to increase the value of the chosen stat, up to a maximum of +400.

These off-hand items also provide a set bonus when equipped with an artifact main-hand item.

Artifact Cloaks: In addition to the stats you'd expect from a neck slot item, these also provide Armor Class increases or passive Action Point gain in combat. These bonuses increase as the artifact's quality improves.

Artifact Set Bonuses: There are several new set bonuses for existing artifacts. These artifacts, such as the Eye of Lathander, now have an associated neck and waist slot artifact.When all three are equipped, they provide a new bonus that works well with the artifact's main power.
