Artifact Weapons
Artifacts are powerful end-game weapons that can gain levels by being infused with Artifact Power. As your Artifact Weapon progresses it will gain attack damage and increase the total damage output of your character versus monsters. The bonus is active as long as you are wearing the weapon. Please keep in mind that this bonus does NOT apply in PvP. You can receive your Artifact Weapon by completing the Spectral Awakening quest. https://wiki.cyntara.org/books/quests/page/lv-700-spectral-awakening
Artifact Power
Artifact Power is the experience equivalent for your weapon. It follows a different formula for the required experience points per level than the character level though. Artifact Power can be obtained by using Artifact Tokens.
Artifact Progression
As mentioned previously, your Artifact Weapon will progress as it gains Artifact Power. This is automatic and only requires reaching the below level to reach the next tier.
- Tier 1 - Artifact Level 1 - The baseline tier when you first receive your Artifact Weapon
- Tier 2 - Artifact Level 12
- Tier 3 - Artifact Level 24
- Tier 4 - Artifact Level 36
- Tier 5 - Artifact Level 48
- Tier 6 - Artifact Level 60

Artifact Tokens
Artifact Tokens grant Artifact Power for your weapon upon using. They can be obtained through numerous activities on Cyntara.
There is currently a set of 5 total tokens that you can find on Cyntara. They reward different amounts of Artifact Power and the type of token you will get depends on the difficulty of the content where you get them from. The amount of Artifact Power received from Artifact Tokens is further multiplied based on your Artifact Knowledge level.
- Commendation - 25 AP
- Royal Commendation - 75 AP
- Bloody Parchment - 150 AP
- Victorious Token - 250 AP
- Triumphant Symbol - 420 AP
Artifact Token Sources
The artifact power tokens can be obtained from the following content:
- Daily Quests
- Dungeons
- Some Bosses
- Monster Tasks
- Prey Tasks
Artifact Knowledge
Artifact Knowledge is a multiplier that applies to the base value of Artifact Tokens. The multiplier is applied the moment you loot a token and does not apply retroactively to previously looted tokens. The Artifact Knowledge can be increased by completing the Artifact Knowledge Research by talking to the Artifact Master NPC. The Artifact Knowledge is initially locked to a maximum level of 25 however the limit can be increased to level 40 by completing the last mission of the Spectral Awakening Quest.
Knowledge Catch Up
The research knowledge is sped up for people that just received their Artifact Weapon. You can check this by visiting the Artifact Master NPC, say Hi and then Research. He will then inform you about the catch up mechanic and your current knowledge level. Additionally, Artifact Knowledge level will advance to 1/3rd of the highest Artifact Knowledge level on the server. Additionally, until you reach 2/3rds of the highest Artifact Knowledge level on the server, the research time will be reduced from 22 hours to 5 hours per research until you catch up.
Artifact Infusion
Artifact Weapons can be infused with the weapons on the list below to provide them with increase in attack and additional damage added to your wand.
You right click on the weapon you are infusing, then on your artifact weapon that's in your inventory.
Note: You can either use the quest version of the weapon or the starter weapon upgraded yourself. Infusions cannot be removed but can be over written with a higher version. When attempting to infuse the correct weapon, it will let you know the ore requirements if you do not have them.

Artifact Swap
The Artifact Weapons can be additionally swapped for their respective counterparts. Paladins can freely swap between the bow and crossbow variants by right-clicking their weapons. Knights can freely swap between the club, axe and sword variants by issuing the !artifact command.
Commands:
!artifact club/sword/axe
!artifact bow/crossbow
!artifact death/energy/etc
!artifact
Artifact Wand/Rod Elements
The Artifact Wands and Rods are versatile and can have their damage element changed. To change the element, simply say !artifact and choose the element from the list. Please keep in mind that not all elements are available and that sorcerers and druids have different choices.
Artifact Talents
Artifact Talents can be located at the top left under Character, Talents. You can earn 1 experience per kill in the 1200 zones and you can also use Minor Artifact Talent Token to gain 10 experience. You can buy these on the market for a quick boost. These can provide a tremendous boost in power in PvE and sometimes are worth purchasing off the market.
Artifact Spells
Artifacts also provide access to new spells - each vocation receives two spells, one that unlocks at Artifact Level 5, one at Artifact Level 10, and two at Artifact Level 15. Additionally Artifact Spells have 4 ranks that can be upgraded through Artifact Spell Tokens obtainable from higher level rebirth spawns.
