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:

Grace (Greatsword): Provides two unique speed-boosting perks that will provide the player with additional movement speed. 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). 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.
