Custom Artifacts
Artifacts are separated to several categories. You can go on many adventures on UO Evolution and search for a specific Quest Artifact or treasure. There are also Special Artifact items with unique names that can be obtained by various means: using the Stealing skill to pilfer them from disparate locales, through specific monster drop systems, and during events associated with game-wide fiction where you can collect Monthly Event Items, or last by crafting them using rare ingredients.
UO Evolution has created some unique artifacts, only found on this shard

Emperor's Seals are crafted with the tinkerer skill (100+) AND Bushido skill (100+). The materials required vary depending upon the color.
After you craft the correct colored seal for the Emperor, he requires you to collect 10 minor Treasures of Tokuno (ToT) artifacts as tribute to his greatness! After you collect the 10 minor artifacts, double-click the seal and add the artifacts to the seal. Once this is accomplished you can advance to the next level belt.

There are 2 completed talismans at the black belt display room
Britannia Dragon Cloak
This item is crafted by tailors, there are a few requirements needed for crafting the cloak. The skill required for making it is Tailoring 100-175. The higher the skill, the better the base cloak.
Using a runic sewing kit increases the chances of making a better cloak. There is a display in Serpents Hold that shows the 4 types of base cloaks that can be crafted. These were made with no runics. If you want to see the display of the "perfect" set of cloaks made with runics, you can look at the display in the donation room in Trinsic.
The ingredients to craft the base cloak are:
- 12 Leather or Hides,
- 50 black dragon scales,
- 1 captured essence, and
- 10 corruption.
This item increases power in stages (1-4) The cloak has stats that can be seen when you mouse-over the item and keeps track of your progress
- Stage 0/4
- Points 0/500
- Ancient 0/6
- Gem 0/7
- Unique 0/2
These cloaks require a specific amount of points to advance between stages. The dragon cloak gains a point by killing certain dragon type creatures that do not serve other masters (No Champs, no summoned, no tamed, no animated etc). The % chance for points and number of points is determined by the difficulty of the creature killed and your luck.
Once you have obtained the number of points to advance a stage the cloak will no longer gain points until it is soaked with the Dragonic Elixer (see below). With each stage the cloak will increase in properties until it reaches stage 4 and the quest is complete.
In addition to the points, there are a series of quests you can pursue, which must be completed prior to stage 4. The quests will add new abilities to your cloak that will be revealed when it reaches stage 4. Whenever you slay one of the Unique/Named creatures (Ex. Gem Dragons, Ancients, Spirilix, Magi, etc)that are among the quests you will receive a message stating you have unlocked one of the secrets. There are some Unique Dragon Bosses you can kill that will actually increase a cloak's property immediately without reaching stage 4.
For Example: Rikktor awards a fire resist bonus (you will have to learn what each dragon bonus is)
Once your cloak reaches stage 4 the magic will reveal all of the accomplishments that you have achieved while wearing it. Based upon what you killed and the difficulty of those creatures, some of the skills might be +10, those that take upon the most challenging beasts can be rewarded with skill bonuses as high as +20. There are also 4 different types of cloaks: warrior, mage, thief and necromancer.
Everything you do while wearing the cloak is used to determine the results of the cloak at stage 4.
Note: The cloaks are socketable, but...only a completed cloak can be socketed!
Note: There are many versions of this cloak that can be made. By using runic sewing kits, having high skill level and high luck will make the stats vary. Also note that depending on the type of dragons you kill to complete the cloak, can alter the final type/stats.
Dragonic Elixer
You will need to soak the cloak in this magical fluid before it can go from one stage to the next. You will get a message when it is needed. The elixer is crafted by alchemists, skill needed 100-150
Ingredients needed to create the potion:
- 1 dragon blood and
- 5 blackrock
Sash of the Pit
The Sash of the Pit is a powerful artifact you can craft with the Tailor Skill (100+)
You need the following ingredients:
- 5 Scourge
- 5 Red Scales
- 3 Fire rubies
After you create the item, you will need to travel deep into the Shame Dungeon and battle the monsters that dwell in the darkness!
As you kill the beasts, your Sash of the Pit will gain 2 tiers and advance 6 stages to become a very powerful artifact.
When the sash levels up a stage the first time, it will change to another item piece. Each stage the item will get a new random property to include increasing the max stage of the item and the new properties. You can only wear one of these items at one time when attempting to add points. This is your chance to create the most unique set of mining gear any shard has ever seen.

Ilshenar Artifacts
Global Drop Artifacts
UOE has a global artifact drop system. You have a percent chance to get an artifact off of any creature you slay. The harder the creature and the higher the luck you have, the better chance to get an artifact to drop. See Global Artifact List
Paragon Artifacts
When a non-Champion/Named Monster spawns in Ilshenar, there is about a 5% chance it will be a Paragon of it's kind. Paragons are far more powerful then a standard creature of their type, and the stronger examples can potentially kill an unprepared player within a couple of seconds.
Defeating a paragon provides a chance of having a Traditional Minor appear directly in your pack dependent on the Fame of the creature, and your level of Luck. Although they don't give artifacts terribly often, the paragons themselves are fairly easy to locate (and often to defeat) and so their specific artifacts are considered common.
Paragon Chests
Paragon creatures capable of dropping Treasure Maps as loot have a 10% chance of providing a special chest on death. This chest contains a map that is one level above whatever that creature would usually drop. Ingeniously drawn (Level 6) maps are obtainable via the chests dropped by monsters who would normally drop Devious (Level 5) maps.
