Artifacts are unique, powerful items that often come with special active or passive abilities, in addition to significant stat bonuses. They are typically acquired through challenging quest lines or as rare drops from powerful boss monsters. Legendary Items, while not as universally powerful as artifacts, are also rare and often have unique properties or high quality. Both artifacts and legendary items are highly sought after for their ability to significantly enhance a character's power and provide unique tactical options in combat. Many artifacts have a 'leveling' process where they gain power as you complete specific tasks or kill certain enemies while equipped.
