Ancient Artifact
Item details
Item type: Quest Item Quest: see text description Campaign: Nightfall

Ancient Artifacts can be traded at the Gate of Desolation mission outpost, with any of the three Wandering Scribes. Their appearance is that of small idols of Grenth.

Like most quest items, Ancient Artifacts cannot be sold to merchants, and cannot be salvaged.

"I cannot cross into the Desolation, but I must collect ancient artifacts for my order. There's no end to the number of Fallen Dynasty relics hidden beneath the Sulfurous Wastes. If you can manage to find any (1,3,5) Ancient Artifacts, I will give you this in return:"
