    Artifact Drop Rate

    Artifacts drop at a very low rate in monster zones. If you are lucky, you can obtain 1 every 1 to 2 hours. For many players, RNG has been even more difficult.

    Because Artifacts are a rare drop, you can increase your chances to obtain them by increasing your “Item Drop Rate”. There are several items and mechanics to accomplish this. You can go as high as 300% outside Arsha server.

    View this item drop rate guide for items to increase your chances to obtain Artifacts.

    BDO Artifacts Guide for Beginners (68) AP & Accuracy Artifacts

    Marsh’s Artifacts increase offensive power by offering AP or Accuracy. Unfortunately, most require a specific attack type.

    • +4 Melee AP (Specific Classes Only)
    • +4 Ranged AP (Specific Classes Only)
    • +4 Magic AP (Specific Classes Only)

    Artifact Item Copy Rules

    In the tag system, you can use the item copy function on artifacts and lightstones.

    • When copying an artifact, any infused lightstones will be copied.
    • The rules for copying defense gear are applied to artifacts.
    • Copying artifacts and lightstones is free.
    • If you remove or replace the lightstones in an artifact after copying it, it does not affect the copy held by the other character.
    • If the character you copied an artifact over to dies with negative karma, the copied artifact can get destroyed.

    2 Lightstones Per Artifact

    Each Artifact has 2 empty sockets to insert 2 Lightstones.

    Lightstones have 4 different categories, similar to Artifacts.

    Fire (Offensive Buffs)

    • Ignore Resistances
    • AP/Accuracy/Damage
    • Movement/Attack Speed
    • Critical Hit

    Earth (Defensive Buffs)

    • Resistances
    • Damage Reduction
    • Evasion

    Wind (Utility Buffs)

    • Max Stamina
    • Max Mana
    • Luck
    • Weight
    • Combat Exp
    • Skill Exp

    Flora (Life Skills)

    • Life Skill Exp
    • Life Mastery
    • Energy Recovery

    Example Lightstones

    Fire (Offensive Buffs)

    BDO Artifacts Guide for Beginners (159)

    Fire: Claws → Critical Hit +1

    Flora (Life Skill Buffs)

    BDO Artifacts Guide for Beginners (160)

    Flora: Uncharted → Sailing Exp +3%

    Earth (Defensive Buffs)

    BDO Artifacts Guide for Beginners (161)

    Earth: Fitted → Monster DR +5

    Wind (Utility Buffs)

    BDO Artifacts Guide for Beginners (162)

    Wind: Alert → Combat Exp +25%

    Artifact Combinations

    The real power comes through Artifact Combinations.

    Insert 3 to 4 specific Lightstones into 2 Artifacts to create an additional buff, “Combination Effect.”

    Create an Artifact Combination by clicking the “Infusion” button in the Artifact UI.

    • Lightstones can be placed inside Artifacts to create a unique set of buffs.
    • With 3 or 4 specific Lightstones in two Artifacts, it creates a combo effect.
    • The combo effect changes depending on how you combine Lightstones.

    Some awesome effects come at a great cost.

    View Combo Effect Charts:

    • Offensive/Defensive/Utility Lightstone Combo Effects
    • Life Skill Combo Effects

    A couple example combinations are shown below.

    4x Lightstone of Wind: Alert = 300% Combat Exp Combo Effect
    TOTAL with Lightstone Buffs: +400% Combat EXP

    Deathblow Artifact Combination

    Deathblow Artifact Combination is considered best in slot for PVE because of its high Monster AP and Crit Rate. It’s a highly sought after combo by many players. Ultimate Power does come at a steep silver cost though!

    Because of the marketplace cost, this Lighstone Combination will take some time to obtain via monster zones, bosses, or alchemy.

    [Deathblow]
    Monster AP +16
    Critical Hit Chance +14%

    Infuse Deathblow on 2x Monster AP Artifacts.

    [Deathblow + AP Artifacts]
    Monster AP +28
    Critical Hit Chance +14%

    Death Blow Combination:

    FAQs

    What to do with artifacts you don't need in BDO? ›

    If you don't need the artifacts you obtained, you can convert them into “Purified Lightstones,” which you can use to obtain Lightstones. You can use the item copy function on artifacts.

    How do you get the first artifacts in BDO? ›

    However, you can get your first two artifacts via quests from the black spirit, who gives you an artifact that provides monster DR, and another one that provides monster ap. To do this quest, you need to have finished the Mediah questline and be level 51+.

    How to use artifact presets in BDO? ›

    - You can equip the preset artifacts by selecting the "Equip" button. * When you equip artifacts in a preset, then the artifacts you already had equipped will automatically be moved to your Artifact Inventory. * You must have at least 2 slots available in your Inventory to equip artifact presets.

    Where do you get lightstones in BDO? ›

    You can obtain both lightstones and lightstone fragments-an item necessary for fusing light stone-in a variety of ways: Pearl Shop, Boss Rush, Ancient Ruins or field hunting.

    Should we return stolen artifacts? ›

    It is morally correct, and reflects basic property laws, that stolen or looted property should be returned to its rightful owner. Cultural objects belong together with the cultures that created them; these objects are a crucial part of contemporary cultural and political identity.

    How to get free artifact bdo? ›

    Artifacts can be obtained via quests, defeating monsters, Dark Rifts, World Bosses, Boss Summon Scrolls, guild bosses, etc. The easiest way to find out if a grind spot drops Artifacts is to use our Artifacts tool page, here!

    How does artifact leveling work? ›

    For every 4 levels that an artifact gains, an additional sub-stat is added unless the artifact already has 4 sub-stats, in which case a random sub-stat is upgraded. Sub-stats include HP, HP%, ATK, ATK%, DEF, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge%, Crit Rate%, and Crit DMG%.

    Can you get a dragon in BDO? ›

    You can obtain the Young Crimson Dragon by exchanging the 'Garmoth's Horn' item from NPC Gerson. Garmoth's Horn can be obtained by defeating Garmoth, the boss monster.

    How do I get a fairy BDO? ›

    The quest will take you to Kamaslyve Temple east of Heidel, where you need to do a quest line to unlock your fairy. Once you complete this quest line, you'll get a Sealed Fairy Wing, which is an RNG box that gives you a fairy.

    Can you tap artifacts that are equipped? ›

    Yes, they can. Any effect that can tap a permanent, or specifically an artifact, can tap an equipment, whether it's attached or unattached. As a general rule, though, there's not much point in doing so. A tapped equipment works exactly the same as an untapped one.

    What can I do with ancient coins in BDO? ›

    You can obtain Ancient Gold Coins from the Ancient Ruins, Boss Rush, and normally hunting from the field, among others. You can use Ancient Gold Coins to get a total of 6 different types of gear, including weapons and armor. There is also a chance of receiving Abyssal-grade gear.

    Does the story matter in BDO? ›

    All of the stories are interesting at best, but the actual questlines are very much the same as you're probably already used to if you're experienced. I didn't find a whole lot of interesting things to do outside of the story and questing, so I wound up with a familiar sense of monotony as I went through it.

    Is there any point of keeping artifacts in Stardew Valley? ›

    All artifacts can be used for: Donation to the museum. Gifting to Penny and the Dwarf as liked gifts. Tailoring at a Sewing Machine.
