Editing Artifact

{{Infobox
}}
{{tocright}}
{{PAGENAME}}s are non-craftable magical items that can be found as loot or earned as quest rewards. Artifacts that are '''not''' locked in your [[Inventory]] have title text that is a orange-like <span style="color:#CD853F">'''Brown'''</span>. 
If you are not sure if an item is an artifact, hover your mouse over the item, then look at the info window that pops-up. An artifact will show "Artifact" in the info window.

=Repairing An Artifact=
Artifact Musical Instruments (such as the [[Fleet Flute]]) do not have durability and never break; therefore, they cannot be repaired.

===Types of Artifact Repair===
:* Repair with an [[Ancient Essence]] - Non-instrument artifacts can be repaired by dragging and dropping an Ancient Essence onto the artifact (when the artifact is in your [[Inventory]]). 20 points of "Current Durability" are restored for each ancient essence applied to the artifact (but the essences will not increase the "Maximum Durability Achievable with Essences").
:* [[Repair Item (Major)|Major Repair]] - increases the "Current Durability" '''''and''''' the "Maximum Durability Achievable with Essences".

===When to Perform an Essence Repair Versus Major Repair===
:It is most efficient to repair artifacts with an Ancient Essence until the "Durability Achievable with Ancient Essences" is zero (or close to zero), then perform a [[Major Repair]].

:For definitions of "Current Durability" and "Maximum Durability Achievable with Essences", and for more details on how durability functions,  see [[Durability]].

For additional information, see [[Repair]].

=Combining Artifacts to Increase the Tier=
With the Smelting skill, lower tier Artifacts of same type can be combined to create an Artifact of a higher tier.
Higher tier artifacts are more powerful.

The [[Recipe]]s for combining artifacts are [[Discoverable]].  Combining artifacts is performed at the [[Smelting Station]] and you must have [[Smelting Tongs]] equipped. The recipes to combine Artifacts require that the following ingredients be placed on the crafting table:
