No part of the Whitepaper is to be copied Artifacts are items the player can use in combat. Using an Artifact counts as an allied Action and only one Artifact can be used each turn. Artifacts may only be used before all of the player's monsters have ended their turn. Each Artifact have a Common and Epic tier, except for the Monster Flask. The player can obtain any number of Artifacts, although the Inventory only displays up to five. Artifacts have a limited amount of charges. A charge is consumed each time the Artifact is used. Charges do not replenish until the player reaches a Rest Site, where all owned Artifacts have their charges fully restored. The "Artifact Recharge" meta-upgrade can be purchased from Alioth at Pilgrim's Rest to restore 1 charge to all Artifacts at the start of an encounter against a Champion monster. The Monster Flask has 3 charges, which can be increased to 4 by purchasing the "Monster Flask Charge upgrade" meta-upgrade from Alioth at Pilgrim's Rest. All other Common Artifacts have 2 charges, whereas Epic Artifacts have 3. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://riventide.gitbook.io/whitepaper/gameplay/artifacts.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
