Non-rune artifacts I'd really like are: cubix/torus (I know, but they're still in presents I think?), cameo, tam upgrade, changeling memory locket, the earth/fire/water rings, all the trade and divine artifacts (but they're really expensive in "bang for buck" terms). That gilded cage sounds nice, I'm forever cussing to myself about the amount of WSCs I waste looking for the next thing to hit.
I agree with Xenthos' point regarding the gem of cloaking; I think it was the second or third one I bought - my Mallet of Forging was the first.
I understand that it would take "skill" from the warriors, but perhaps give them a slight "buff" for owning the artifact as well.. Perhaps slightly more dmp resist or damage (for mobs only) that way it's not really "wasting" the knights skill but gives others a chance to bash some things that are aggressive with friends that cannot take most of the damage from the aggressive mobs.
I'm not exactly against it, though I do think it just pushes a Pandora's box of "what other skills can we make into artifacts" but that's a concern more than a prophecy. I do think however the response you'll get is "Just classflex Knight."

There is precedent for skills being made into general artifacts - the nose being the best example. Add to it the skunk things, the farscout telescopes, boots of the wanderer, even the umbrellas, and I'm sure there are more. I think being able to raise a standard would be awesome for taking little people bashing.
I really disliked the farscout telescope, but then again I dislike farscout as an actual ability, far too meta. Skunking, scenting, cloak, pathfind are all non singular class specific and are shared amongst several.
When I mean Pandora's box I'm thinking class specific abilities, such as farscout. Imagine an artifact that did Bard inspire, mage beneficiary meld effects. I'm not against it for reasons I've already stated, having a drunk dwarfbard do all the tanking so I can spend less time watching my health and gain killspeed not having to tank hindering effects would be lovely. I'm just concerned it'll lead to a slippery slope of "Well we got X, why not ask for Y."
I also still think the likely response is "Classflex fixes your problem." I'd love to be very wrong though.

I doubt we'd get class-specific buffs as an artifact. The pattern is that we get purely utility abilities, as has happened with farscout and a number of totem abilities. In fact, with the way they kept ripping off totem skills, it was about time something like the farscout telescope came out too.
I really disliked the farscout telescope, but then again I dislike farscout as an actual ability, far too meta.
How is farscout meta? You can already scry or window. You can technically write a script that does this for each person on a list. Sure it will take longer but it gets you the same info. At least thanks to the artifact it is available to everyone rather than certain classes.
You have received a new honour! Congratulations! On this day, you have shown your willingness to ensure a bug-free Lusternia for everyone to enjoy.

There are far more meta ways of scoping than farscout. Plus there are ways to counter and block it. Class flex fixes your problem!
It's also a pretty silly argument to say we shouldn't have more skill ripoff artifacts because "when will it end! !!!!! 11!!!"

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
If scried/mapped/farscouted and not in the same area as the scryer, this returns a random room from the game.

Ripoff arties are pretty crappy for the guilds that got ripped off. IMO all ripoff arties should have a significant disadvantage to the real skills. Otherwise, things become ridiculous to balance and when the meta is raised with these artifacts, the guilds that already had it don't raise with them by nature of already having the skill. Guild keeps their skill while the rest of the game gets the skill plus their own unique ones. Sucks bawls. Really a trend I wish we'd stop.
But since totems has already been gutted for dingbat arties, bringon the farscout teleposcopes and rubeus earrings!

Except when you land on 3 psymet monks in one go and end up off-bal for 24s. (Not to mention the 800-ish damage/monk)
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
Silly Celina, you can't use actual logic to argue on these forums. You must cry with reckless abandon about the injustices that reside within. For it was not being argued that ripping off skills was bad, but that if we continue we'll go down a slippery slope that we won't be able to retreat out of.

Handkerchief of Ectoplasm. I can imagine the messages it would use. I love it. I want one!
Existing artifacts... I would buy the Endowment of the Arts. If the pliers were about a third of their current price, I'd consider those, too, though I like Xenthos' idea much better.

Of course we'd all love a drunken dwarf bard with standard up just tanking all our bashes so no one ever has to worry about damage.
