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

[@BagginsTV]

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.

[@bellgrand]

People farmed the Wall in PTR in normal Ennead for testing.

[@FarroxFX]

They "Farmed" for it but did it actually drop?@@bellgrand

[@bellgrand]

@@FarroxFX Yes. Atlas Fishmo shows it off in his KZbin channel.

[@RickJohnson]

According to the release notes released today (2-Oct), the loot drops are biased to your build and are at "a high gear score". M1 is balanced for 650, M2 for 675, and M3 for 695+. I can't determine if that also means that GS of the drops will bias in that direction as well (excluding artifacts).

[@FarroxFX]

@@RickJohnson they did also says artifacts are always 700 gear score

[@CidZAER]

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.

[@beumler1406]

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.

[@nick11925]

hoping this is true, lvl 100 is an insane grind

[@OkkaOtter]

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

[@zagohcap]

Shhhh, let people think its bad.

[@kurtdha]

That's only if you have vigor or invigorated on 4 other pieces of your gear. So, there is a big tradeoff there to get to that 95%..

[@johnweig4667]

​@@kurtdhawith remove of resilient the trade of is not really so big

[@r3load403]

@@zagohcap let them believe this is not literally the BiS-Armor Artifact for Bruisers? ;)

[@mrbicboi2540]

Got nerfed in patch notes , now it's 80% , which is still very strong but opens up space for freedom one or heavy chest one

[@TheJK89]

Banger video Baggins. One of your best yet

[@everdrowsy3989]

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

[@Jayson_Tatum]

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.

[@mgp994]

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

[@zargisan9017]

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

[@addy1294]

life staff too

[@T1mo777]

they will be added later, there's no way they dont add at least 1 artifact for every weapon in the game.

[@StormFighter55]

There are coming with the next Update, but the Bow are full Lightning like the Hammer and the Lifestaff are more a DamageLifeStaff, but not so good for Healing 😢

[@hashemkasem822]

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

[@DarkBiCin]

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.

[@Grim_Spudly]

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.

[@dopple420]

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

[@joshuasmith1597]

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

[@nullcade1559]

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. :)

[@Justin.Willem.Erasmus]

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

[@Jayson_Tatum]

Interesting idea. Imagine having dual swords or dual hatchet DPS builds? Maybe it could make a dual sword build more of a hybrid crowd control weapon much more damage output at the cost of that defensive value. Really good for light equip DPS that never get aggro. Interesting

[@blaidd2769]

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

[@lockelamora8217]

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

[@imapanda5475]

Cause they ran out of budget and couldn’t find a way to copy and paste

[@ryanekstrom209]

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

[@DontStopTheHustle]

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.

[@kbadrig]

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

[@vobic13]

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

[@uglyfoox8964]

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

[@unholynova338]

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

[@peterhaynes676]

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

[@lonewiso]

Thank you for the video. Keep them coming

[@ThorsDadTV]

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

[@conair81]

Great video! Greetings from Mamunack

[@ignaciolopez5206]

Great video thanks bro

[@Thundersgaming]

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

[@kingp2445]

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

[@csabamiklos1866]

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

[@benzyboy7066]

Nothing 1 spear and vg can't handle

[@dotagaming6379]

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

[@DerrekU2ber]

You can keep changing it

[@NatDaHomie]

You can change like for my ado on pve I want the flail vortex heal perk but for pvp I want the extend cooldown smite weapon perk on flail.

[@ihaveSwaGer]

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

[@unstoppablex4381]

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

[@nkdgma]

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

[@DementiaGM]

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...

[@Tobiohazzard]

great video once again! :)

[@tommieStv]

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

[@nkdgma]

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

[@punningly]

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?

[@pzl1860]

refreshing perks are cap at 4 but u can still get cd from attribute like foc and that artifact coat.

[@mikaelvellmun7228]

Why is the ankh amulet not on here??

[@sparrowguy345]

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

[@EmvyBeats]

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

[@lastmeinytacc7325]

@BagginsTV New World has a test server ? where and how ?

[@igorgomes7922]

Where did u get the primeval spinweave set?

[@agentgoldeneye3783]

on the nimble coat can u change the last perk?

[@teaguevanderbeek]

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?

[@Oldsweddyballs]

You are correct. Only 1 per type (Armor/Shield, Weapon, and Jewelry).

[@khyroz9519]

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

[@kristofvandyck31]

The warhammer stun and mighty gavel follow-up would be nice to

[@xxblackoutxx6565]

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

[@theaceking3508]

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

[@toddsterling593]

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

[@natehevs6092]

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.

[@SAKRAYx]

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

[@AwKeyPooh]

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?

[@ACBGaming]

Like every MMORPG, join a large company.

[@rabies-]

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

[@pomps8085]

One of each yes

[@ashleyknight29_]

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

[@tanniaz33]

Good video 🙏🏽

[@shared-knowledge]

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

[@joshuasmith1597]

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

[@shamoney4312]

that would be nice. are u sure?

[@dakotamessick3156]

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?

[@Naughty-Carlos]

Can you have a artifact shield and weapon or only 1?

[@jaunks]

fairly certain both but thats because shield takes the armor artifact slot if im not mistaken

[@TaniaRavenYT]

Can you do an update video?

[@scionlion9007]

I'm pretty sure for nimble coat u dont need to be track 100 xD. My friend got it at 29..so..ye..

[@JDPyru]

can you get the hatchet artifact on regular runs?

[@disabledvet4689]

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

[@giovannikelso6173]

can artifacts drop for you even if u dont have the dlc? or no

[@secretjuice6725]

which artifact weapon is the best currently?

[@venranava949]

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?

[@mallusdarkblade]

Going for Med chest, GS/GA/Rapier.

[@MrNedinator]

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

[@iamFreddyP_]

Will there be different and new artifacts every season?

[@ThomasManning-r1v]

Any word on Commander Thorde NPC location??

[@rileyxxxx]

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.

[@archertan3313]

you have to farm pvp hard in order to get sth for pve, remind me montaintop from D2

[@archertan3313]

and the smg, mainly the smg

[@solsenu]

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

[@Dark_Industries]

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

[@Fangslayersdiamond]

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

[@crims0n07]

Pretty sure shields have had the attribute points removed. Sword carries all the attribute points now (and flail). Shields have one extra perk in place of the stats (I think).

[@TONYchicago1111]

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 ??

[@NatDaHomie]

It is one and shield counts to it for armor

[@TONYchicago1111]

thank you! @@NatDaHomie

[@karmasschaos]

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

[@dougbishop2568]

How do I open chest with paw prints on them?

[@jonb6564]

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

[@Xerothegrappler]

So you can use Michael and odo? Or no

[@REBELRECKS]

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

[@RKillerGaming]

No bow artifact is sad😢

[@DerrekU2ber]

Not all the spoilers were put into ptr

[@John_Doe1980]

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 ?

[@abyss1151]

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

[@NatDaHomie]

No

[@nebucadneza1914]

looks to me that artifacts are there to make PVP more appealing... i realy realy dont like PVP and only startet playing NW beacuse of the PVE content that got added. so basicly im locked out of 80% of artefacts

[@mickael5994]

how do you replace perks?

[@Zolrain]

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

[@saboyato7910]

Does luck gear help in getting these?

[@buzzrsa7149]

what lvl does artifacts drop

[@johnweig4667]

I really want to test the firestaff as a offhand tanking weapon. Main problem for tanking is mostly initial aggro. I see it like this. Heavy tire attack on one mob. Light attack on other. Fireball on 3rd mostly range mob Meteor shower on yourself. Incinerate for stun taunt aoe heal. Switch to shield

[@joeycarbone560]

does dungeon have to be mutated to get the Warhammer?

[@dtavs_exe]

Inferno would be perfect for the fat gandalf build.

[@w4zz_yt]

Wait so can you have 1 armor, 1 weapon , and 1 jewelry- or does jewelry count as an armor?

[@Oldsweddyballs]

Jewelry is its own category.

[@w4zz_yt]
