— FAQ

Artifacts in Corepunk are items that, along with Weapons, your Character will get the majority of their Skills and overall power from. Unlike weapons, they are not tied to a specific Hero specialisation and are not visible on the player character model.

Acquisition

Artifacts can be crafted with the Construction profession, dropped from killed characters, rewarded from quests, or sometimes traded.
Some artifacts are Bound to the player on equip or on pickup. Bound artifacts cannot be traded between players.

Attributes

Artifacts can be split into two groups: Active Artifacts and Passive Artifacts. Active Artifacts have abilities that only take effect once they are manually activated by the player, whereas Passive Artifacts give constant attribute boosts to the player.
Higher-quality artifacts have more secondary stats. Stats are usually fixed, but can be rerolled within their upper and lower bounds via the Synthesis Machine.

Active Artifacts

"No text given for quotation. Add a text parameter."

Active Artifacts sacrifice higher attributes to instead have a usable skill. Artifact skills will never be as powerful as the player's hero specialisation abilities.
Artifacts, like any item, can be placed in slots 1 through 6 in the skillbar. Once on the skillbar, they can be activated either by clicking on them or by pressing its associated key.

Passive Artifacts

Passive Artifacts don't have a skill, instead opting for higher attributes.

 '''Artifacts''' in Corepunk are items that, along with [[weapons]], your [[character]] will get the majority of their [[skills]] and overall power from. Unlike weapons, they are not tied to a specific [[hero]] specialisation and are not visible on the player character model.
 ==Acquisition==
-One can obtain artifacts either by crafting them with the [[artifactsmith]] profession, via drops from killed characters, as [[quest]] rewards, or by trading. When artifacts are dropped, they will have fixed stats, however the item's quality and specific stat numbers will be randomised. Some items cannot be traded as they can be bound to the character upon pickup or equip.

+==Attributes==
-Artifacts can be split into two main groups: Those with an '''active skill''', or those with a '''passive skill'''. Active abilities are abilities that only take effect once they are actively used by the player, whereas passive abilities are always active on the player at all times. Artifacts can also be split by rarity - the higher the rarity, the more powerful the artifact.

-By using active artifacts, you will sacrifice some stats compared to if you use artifacts with no ability. The skills on these artifacts range from utility and sustain skills to ones that increase or deal damage. These skills will never be as powerful as the specialisation's abilities. There can never be more than one skill per artifact.

-Passsive artifacts are great for roaming around [[Kwalat]]. They can give an increase in [[movement speed]], [[health]], [[attack speed]], etc. One artifact can utilize many stat boosts.
