So what are the good artifacts? Which should you try to get

[Joshll]

Here's a thought I'll throw out. Some of us are TOA whores more than others, and we get and level artifacts. And after some thought, I would encourage people to think about this when you make your template:

Get artifacts that have a group or realm affect, those are the difference makers.

Spear of Kings - Aura of Kings - 5% bonus to total hitpoints and armorfactor to ALL Realmmates within 1500

Crown of Zahur - Arcane Leadership: Target has improved spell range and ability to penetrate spell resists while within range of this aura. Bonus: 5%

Cloudsong cloak -Arcane Leadership: Target has improved spell range and ability to penetrate spell resists while within range of this aura. Bonus: 5% to realmmates

Healers Embrace Cloak - Wave of Healing: Heals targets within view of the caster. Value: 33% healed to realmates

Egg of Youth - PBAE rez. Works through walls.

DreamSphere - Group shapechange. Even nerfed this is great. They have to break mez to discover what class is underneath the panther costume.

Crocodile's Tears ring - Extends pulse spells to all nearby realmates

Traldors Oracle - Archmagery - Grants target 5% spell damage and 5% ability to penetrate target's resistances (land spells)

So when you guys are thinking about artifacts, get the ones that make us all stronger, it's a bigger bang for the buck.

can anyone help this ToA newb with Cloudsong? I have no artifacts activated on Merlin atm (have Traldor's and its 3 scrolls tho), and like the idea Josh presents here.

traldors = easy leveling in modernagrav.
