Favorite artifacts
 

What artifacts are your Favorites to have or just make quick so your opponents can't? I think i'd go with The Chalice for healing, The soulstone of the Wolves for the free spells and summons, The Gate Stone for instant transportation, and Nethgul because he's cool.

I like the sickle whose crop is pain, (the title alone is worth it, but getting to name your death gems is even better! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif )

the Hammer of Infinite Booster forging http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

and the alchemist stone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif as well.

That unique robe that boosts magic paths and gives a ton of protection for no additional encumbrance (Robe of the Sorceress? Can't remember). Très chic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Skull talisman is a good one. Every commander who would otherwise sit on his *** (especially Tien Chi generals) should have one.

Re: Favorite artifacts
 

Well, the chalice is a given... but aside from that Boots of Antaeus are pretty sweet... regeneration, reinvigoration and an earth magic bonus. But I think my favorite has to be The Harvest Blade... hitting an entire square, chopping legs. Great fun.

I like that corpse candle shield.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Robe of the Magi. I thought it'd be slick until I forged it dropped it on my pretender, and found the downside: it makes you horror marked!

I like Nethgul, the Pocket Knight, and Krupp's Bracers a lot. That Al Akhazim djinni you get from the lamp artifact is pretty darn cool, too:
5f/5a/3e/3s, 75HP, flying, ethereal, amphib, 100 SR, 100 FR, size 6 trmapler

Opz I understood as "artifact" for generical magical item ... well, unique ones I like more:

Sword of Augurelm (luck to all friendly units in battle)
The Harvesting Blade
Nethgul (I love to give Netgul to assassins)
Chalice (Medic............. )

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually, I was both right and wrong. It is the Robe of The Sorceress. The one you normally have to Wish for, unless you find and kill the special character (Satina) that has it. But, it gives +1 to Sorcery, not all magic. And, to everyone else, the subject says favourite "Artifacts." As in, only one in the world. Things like the the Corpse Candle shield and Boots of Quickness are all fine toys. But they aren't artifacts.

My absolute faves are the Boots of the Planes and the Gate Stone - instant travel ar will, no lab needed = priceless.

I also like the Aegis and the Chalice. But the absolute funniest to use is the Horror Harmonica.
