# Artifact System

## Artifact System

Artifacts are powerful accessories worn in the **Shadow Accessory (Right)** slot. Unlike regular equipment, Artifacts can be upgraded progressively through **Morphing** and **Enchantment** to become increasingly powerful.

***

### NPC: Sidious (@npc 52)

Speak to **Sidious** to access the Artifact upgrade system. He offers two services:

* **Morph** — Evolve your Artifact into a higher tier
* **Enchantment** — Add stacking bonus stats to your Artifact

> ⚠️ Your Artifact must be **equipped** before talking to Sidious. He cannot upgrade items in your inventory.

***

### De Reliquia Primordial

The **De Reliquia Primordial** is DarkRO's signature Artifact. It can be morphed from its base form all the way up to **Level 10**, with each tier granting stronger base stats and a more powerful proc effect.

**Equip Location:** Right Accessory **Usable By:** All Jobs

### Morph System

#### How It Works

Morphing upgrades your Artifact to the next tier, giving it better base stats, a higher proc chance, and a stronger proc effect. You must provide your **currently equipped Artifact** as the catalyst along with a set of materials.

#### Outcomes

Each morph attempt has three possible results:

| Outcome          | Chance | What Happens                                   |
| ---------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| ✅ **Success**    | 20%    | Artifact evolves to the next tier              |
| ⬇️ **Downgrade** | 5%     | Artifact drops one tier (cannot go below Base) |
| ❌ **Failure**    | 75%    | Artifact stays the same tier                   |

> ⚠️ **All materials are consumed regardless of outcome.** There is no refund on failure or downgrade.

#### Server Announcement

All morph outcomes — success, downgrade, and failure — trigger a **server-wide announcement**. A successful morph also plays a special visual effect on your character.

***

### Enchantment System

Enchantment adds **additional bonus stats** on top of your Artifact's base stats without changing its tier. You can enchant an Artifact up to **10 times**.

* Enchantment is **guaranteed** — there is no chance to fail or downgrade
* Costs scale with your current enchant level (higher levels require more resources)
* Once an Artifact reaches **Enchantment Level 10**, it cannot be enchanted further
* The type of bonus depends on the Artifact you have equipped

> 💡 Check the Sidious dialogue window before confirming — it always shows your exact material requirements for the next enchant level.

{% endhint %}

***

### Quick Tips

* Always check the material preview Sidious shows you **before confirming** any upgrade
* Enchantment is the safer investment — morph when you have surplus materials
* Random options (enchants) on your Artifact are **preserved** through morph attempts, even on downgrade
* Morphing from Base → L10 requires progressively more Artifact Fragments at each step — stock up before attempting higher tiers

This feature is added for Major Update 1 on Feb 22, 2026 (3rd month of the Server)
