Artifacts

Artifacts are hand-authored, one-of-a-kind items — fixed name, fixed lore, fixed bonus stats. Unlike every other RPGLoot item, nothing about an Artifact is randomized. Each one is tied to a specific boss with a small, independent chance to replace that boss's normal drop.

How Artifacts work

  • Every Artifact is internally Legendary rarity — same combat/armor/tool systems as a regular Legendary, same hard caps, same set-eligibility rules (weapons/armor only)
  • The primary stat (damage/speed/defense) always rolls at the top of Legendary's range — no RNG on the base roll
  • The two bonus stats are fixed values, chosen to always be strong and thematically matched to the boss
  • Artifacts have a distinct purple name and lore color so they stand out from a randomly-rolled Legendary at a glance
  • Artifacts are not assigned to a set — they're already unique, a set bonus would be redundant

Available Artifacts

Artifact Boss Item Fixed Stats Drop Chance
The Warden's Maul Warden Mace Smash Radius +5 blk, Lifesteal +12% 2%
Witherbane Wither Sword Bleeding +60%, Crit Chance +20% 2%
Tidelord's Trident Elder Guardian Trident Riptide Speed +40%, Lightning Strike +25% 2%
Dragonfang Bow Ender Dragon Bow Arrow Damage +40%, Multishot +35% 2%

Drop chance is checked independently from the boss's normal drop roll — an Artifact replaces what would have been a normal boss drop for that kill, only when the roll succeeds.

Elder Guardian note: by default, Elder Guardian's normal loot pool caps at Hero rarity (see Configuration → boss-drops.elder-guardian.max-rarity). Its Artifact is a deliberate exception to that cap — Tidelord's Trident can still drop even though normal Elder Guardian loot never reaches Legendary.

Configuration

artifact-drops:
  enabled: true

Set enabled: false to disable all Artifact drops — bosses will only ever drop their normal randomized loot.

Commands

/rpgloot getartifact <name> — generates a specific Artifact for testing (admin, tab-completes).

/rpgloot getartifact wardens_maul
/rpgloot getartifact witherbane
/rpgloot getartifact tidelords_trident
/rpgloot getartifact dragonfang_bow

/rpgloot stats shows an Artifact line at the top of the output when the held item is one.

Broadcast

Artifacts always meet the broadcast.min-rarity threshold (they're Legendary-tier), so finding one triggers the same server-wide announcement, sound, and firework as any other rare drop. See Configuration → broadcast.
