BEST Artifacts + Where to Find Them! | New World Expansion 

UPDATE: In regards to Artifacts that drop from Expeditions, AGS made a change from the PTR to Live servers that requires you to be in a Mutated Expedition (M1, M2 or M3) in order to get Artifacts to drop from bosses.

Great video man, descriptive and to the point on each item + showing where to get them - super informative.

Thanks for the in-depth and great coverage of the artifacts, where to find them, and upgrade system and all that. Super excited for all of the upcoming content! I was kind of hoping that the shields would be considered weapons so us tanks could double dip The Wall and the Void Darkplate, but at the same time dual wielding an artifact shield and artifact sword/maul seems dope. Combining the heal on block of Michael and Odos Defense for an 8% base health heal every block seems like it'll be a very interesting combo. :)

Scorpion's Sting having trenchant strikes is probably a nod to using Scorpion's grappling hook in Mortal Kombat and then uppercutting the opponent, a pretty iconic mini-combo; as is the spear being called Scorpion's Sting and having the flavor text it does in general.

Amazing video man thank you so much for this breakdown. Concise and clean

Banger video Baggins. One of your best yet

excellent video. clean and clearly to the point, ty!

Omg. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks Baggins.

I know you mentioned the Wizard Hat being short of underwhelming, but in my own practice with it, it's proven to be REALLY good for a mage build - especially if you're running Void/Life build. You just never run out of mana, letting you drop multiple stacks of abilities for both weapons before needing to potion up. I know you miss out on some other good perks from other armor artifacts, but getting double mana is insane. I'm planning to either people Keen Beacon or Health on it as the last perk, depending on if i can get Keen Beacon on something else instead. The Wizard Hat seems best for those mage builds that are using their abilities for both weapons constantly. What i also noticed is not having to run additional mana boosting consumables allowed me to run 4 potions instead (Health, Mana, Focus, Regen) which keeps me alive in sticky situations where i might be silenced and also can't use a health pot, i have the extra slot for regen. Seriously, the Wizard Hat is really solid in practice imo.

Great video. When is your greatsword/spear build video droping

Thank you for the video. Keep them coming

Great videos for returning players like me! Thanks for the in-depth videos Baggins! Why is there no artifact for Bow? Thank you!

Do we have any idea on when the bow and stuff like that might be added. Doesnt make much sense to leave out stuff for release.

Finally someone explains everything and how to get it, thank u

It is not confirmed that the artifacts drop at PvP tack level 100. NWDB shows this info but (some) artifacts dropped before 100 on PTR, which was also reported by a user in the Discord as a bug. NW Chardis (Amazon Game Staff) responded to the player asking what the bug was, the player said that artifacts are supposed to drop at level 100 on which NW Chardis replied "no, that is not the goal". So in no way an official statement but there is a chance that level 100 is unintentional or a read error from NWDB.

Currently the best Tankset up imo is Azoth Crystal Gear (Named Mobs M2+ only) Dark Plate, Sword/Shield, Odo w/ gem slot, Ankh amulet to make living permanent in raids and pvp. I spent like 5 hours going through all the artifacts and items in game on NWDB trying to find the perfect tank set. Flail is almost required now since its the only artifact weapon that isnt a dps/pvp weapon and help with tanking.

Artifacts are really cool. I was pretty sad to see they didn’t add any artifacts for ice gauntlet or bow though. Hopefully they add more in the near future. Overall this expansion has been fantastic

great video once again! :)

Michael is considered an armor piece. You will only be able to have the shield on and no other artifact armors.

Great video! Greetings from Mamunack

inferno seems like it would be broken in a light strength build with the great axe. grav well to group up then burnout/incinerate to hit them and pillar or fireball to finish them off.

the abyss and wizard hat dont drop from the box's they are a random extra reward on top of also getting the box.

Trying out the Greatsword and loving it only not sure what a good weapon to pair it with is currently using Blunterbluss which is pretty fun what do you guys think is best to play with GS? Mostly aiming for 1v1 / open world pvp

So is the pvp reward track the only way to get the blunderbuss? I really want it, but im not a pvp player at all.

@9:00 we are getting more and more of these "transfer one debuff" stuff. a full setup like that could become somewhat funny

Strength scale firestaff and war hammer. For the firestaff artifact. U unlock escape and stubs. It could be insane wym

for the spear coup de gras counts a heavy thats why trenchant is so good on it

Still working on the tank build around that warhammer or was it posted already?

Ghoul gloves: I think I saw some perks which heal (an ally?) when removing a debuff, does that work together?

I guess with the new update, you can get artifacts at track 40. Got nimble coat today on track 40.

Good video 🙏🏽

Can we change the last perk on the ring as well? As a healer I would like to change it to Sacred.

what do you prefer to add in the artifacts, health or skill perk?

In the New World database says that (at least) The Wall and Mjolnir only drop from Mutated+1 and I guess upwards. Which is a pain in the ass because you can't farm those anytime you want. I'll have to wait for Ennead/Lazarus mutated to get them...

For the record Ankh is light years ahead of all the other artifacts. It is insanely good.

is there a way to change the bottom perk on items? you kept saying something to the effect of changing the bottom perk. Or is it just RNG on the drop?

Where's the tier list that was in the thumbnail? I was looking for that summary.

That nimble jacket is awesome sucks I’ll never get it cause I’m not grinding to 100 pvp track, just don’t have the time to do it

Djinn headwrap allows you to become immune to DoT or rend! or at the very least nearly immune, -95% duration

Going for Med chest, GS/GA/Rapier.

Which ones of these would be good for a healer build?

how do you change a perk on the artifact, if you dont like the last perk it comes with?

on the nimble coat can u change the last perk?

Where did u get the primeval spinweave set?

can you get the hatchet artifact on regular runs?

That heavy chest Is gonna be Mandatory for PVE. Can't wait to farm for that

might be silly but how do u feel the score like that ?

when i am in a raid group i get the legendary weapon quickly but i wonder if you apply that to a dungeon as well since you can turn it into raid group. anyone else tried this?

why does the unyielding helmet remind me of a armored pope hat "Bless you my child and go in the light of god"

Will there be different and new artifacts every season?

I'm still new to the game, however, I did notice there wasn't a bow on the list.

which artifact weapon is the best currently?

Is the abyss useless for strength build due to intelligence scaling?

Coming back to this game and dont know what to do, I know I should have come back sooner for some prep but I think i'll have to go into the new DLC dry. Really want to try out this Worm raid but cant find anyone on El Dorito. Any tips of finding player bases for the game?

Somethings off on Nur Mur for light chest. I spent 4+ hours trying to get it tn.

Hi there. Looking for confirmation that refreshing has a max stack of 4 now? I saw it in the equipment window on the nimble coat?

How is your carry capacity 6k? Is that a PTR thing?

Blood drinker, the mechanic, medium chest piece. spam bombs and heal to full with each one? could be ahight.

Odo + Michael + Bloodrinker and you are a true pvp tank lol :))

Great vidoa man, thats help me alot! But i have a quastion about your bags. How is it possible to have 6765 weight space?? :o

i noticed out of all the weapons there was no mention of the bow

So I cannot stack multiple artifacts into the same type of gear slot? Meaning I couldn’t do the light chest artifact with the wizard hat? Or if I have Michael shield I can’t have the heavy void chest?

can i refresh the last perk of the artifacts as often as i want? Or If i equipped it already or increased the stats it doesnt work anymore and i have to keep the given Perk

there was a comment from nw_chardis saying that you do Not need to be level 100 to get artifacts..... so im a little confused was there a counter to this statement ?

How do I open chest with paw prints on them?

Why is the ankh amulet not on here??

I still feel like the shield slot should be changed to an off-hand slot, and then we can duel weld certain weapons like 2 swords

how do you replace perks?

Does luck gear help in getting these?

So you can use Michael and odo? Or no

Any word on Commander Thorde NPC location??

Where do I find the life staff? You missed that one

can you equip 1 artifact armor piece 1 artifact weapon and 1 artifact jewellery or is it just 1 artifact equipped overall?

You only have to be level 20 in the pvp track for the drop chance on those specific pieces. Level 100 is not required

I think the flail artifact is supposed to be very strong with the shield bash and reverse stab for a nasty burst combo.

im fucking hyped

Heavy armor + slash ward ( 4 s ) + elemental aversion set with opals + thrust amulet and slash shield + blood drinker ring + 500 con. Good luck to kill xD

the tower and kite shields seem to be missing attribute points, its probably only 19-20 points but that feels bad.

why no bow and lifestaff are those weapons just too good to be given an artfact??

what lvl does artifacts drop

does dungeon have to be mutated to get the Warhammer?

if only we could use the hatcher artifact with lifedrinker that'd be insane lol.

Inferno would be perfect for the fat gandalf build.

No bow artifact is sad😢

Is it a press account?

hey guys : does pvp track gonna reset when expansion comes ?

How to farm finisher?

Weird how people grinded to get 625 gearscore but people that just started playing the game again are instantly getting 675+ gearscore items

why do people dislike javelin as a spear ability. its an additional CC and Im using it for a very long time already. its very useful and not a meme.

Imo the strike dmg isn’t the problem with the str firestaff because fire doesn’t get any dmg boosts from str anyways. The problem is that the burns don’t scale w str. Strike dmg is actually kinda nice because you dodge the ele aversion meta

Well I won't be wasting much time farming for any of these!

Not really sure what you said in regards to The Wall and how to get it.

You said you can only have 1 jewelry artifact at a time, and 1 wep artifact at a time. Is this also true with armor? Or can you wear multiple armor artifacts at once??? Anyone know ??

so we don't have a bow? :( that's kinda sad Q.Q

there is no artifact bow?

Lost stopwatch + sns = 4s stun? :D

Life staff?

So only can equip one artifact at a time

Life staff artifact?

I haven't played this since launch. Did they nerf the graphics or something? It doesn't look the same..
