new-world 8 New Artifacts Incoming for New World Aeternum's Launch

[Savvvo 4]

Eight new artifacts will be introduced soon into the land of Aeternum. Take a closer look at each here.

With the official launch of New World: Aeternum coming on October 15, the team has been introducing more and more new content that will be added to the game - including eight new artifacts. Within New World: Aeternum, artifacts are extremely powerful items that provide one-of-a-kind perks, completely introducing a new variety of builds and playstyles with each.

Players are only able to equip one weapon artifact, one armor artifact, and one accessory artifact at a time, so they will need to choose wisely on which artifacts they want to incorporate within their builds. This decision gets even harder on October 15, as the team brings in the following new artifacts:

1. Cowl of Power (Light Headwear): Includes the "Desperate Energy" perk, which grants you a 25% increase in damage for 4s if you hit an enemy while your mana is below 50% (10s cooldown).
2. Survivor's Coat (Heavy Chest): Includes the "Survive" perk, which states that if you get hit while below 50% health, you gain 50% stamina, lose all debuffs, and gain a potion surge that instantly refreshes your next used healing potion (120s cooldown).
3. Ghostly Touch (Medium Gloves): Includes the "Ghostly Embrace" perk, which dispels two empower buffs from your empowered opponent when hit, while also granting you 10% empower for 10s (4s cooldown).
4. Grace (Greatsword): Provides two unique speed-boosting perks that will provide the player with additional movement speed.
5. Power Stone (Flail): Includes the new "Heavy Burden" perk, which makes your attacks inflicts 20% weaken for 5s on enemies as long as your health is above 90% (5s cooldown per target).
6. Azoth Conductors (Medium Legwear): Provides the "Magician's Boons" perk, which allows the player to deal 15% more elemental damage while in medium armor weight.
7. Elemental Band (Ring): Includes the "Elemental Affinity" perk, stating that when you hit a target with an elemental attack (not attunement or DoT), you gain a 4% empower for 6s. There is a 10s cooldown per elemental damage type, with a max stack of 1 per elemental damage type.
8. Trsna (Warhammer): Introduces the new "Consume" perk, which provides an additional 25% lifesteal to the player when attacking knocked down enemies.

As you can see from the list, these artifacts introduce completely new mechanics and playstyles to the game, keeping competitive players on their toes.
