An Artifact is a rare item with unique and powerful abilities. These special treasures can be identified by the Artifact label in the item's description. These potent pieces of equipment cannot be tempered, enchanted, or salvaged. Artifacts have a level threshold where they will start to appear and stop appearing after a certain point with an example being Bloodthirst stops dropping after level 15. Artifacts are organized into a table further down the page.
Artifacts have a chance to drop from chests as a bonus item for Gold tier and above. The chances per chest tier is as follows:
- Golden Chests: 0.1%
- Elder Chests: 1% (5% whenever quintupled)
- Legendary Chests: 5% (25% whenever quintupled)
If a chest draws a duplicate Artifact you already own, it will instead reward you with a random Legendary quality item.
Players can wait to open their chests until they have reached a higher level to try for Artifacts better suited for End Game content, with level 50 being the highest bracket. They may also wait for certain Celebrations, as some increase the Artifact drop rate depending on which is hosted.
For other special items that are not classified as Artifacts, look at the page here. Many of the artifacts in Blades have appeared in previous Elder Scrolls games and are listed here in detail.
