Comments
- Some of the more powerful items (like Ash of Invisibility, Voodoo Doll, or Magical Compass) are less or not boosted at all.
- It does not improve effects of Unique Items (tested with Crystal of Tear)
- It is not clear if the skill improves item generation. (It seems likely, however)
- On satchels it reduces the accuracy penalty based on the %. So at level 5 satchels would give you a 9% accuracy penalty while the enemy would get 11%. Based on current progression it would give you no penalty at level 20 and -20% to the enemy.
Clarification Needed
A more detailed list is needed of items that don't work. To anyone who is interested in doing so, please confirm/deny whether legendary artificer is working for the following: Candle of Sleeping Oil Flasks < - This one is very important to know Brooch of Protection / Missile Shield / Scroll of Protection from Fire < - These are all important to know, as they greatly enhance hitting green/blue or black/red respectively Treasure Chest / Map generation rates Javlelin / Figurine / Medusa / Staff War items (Rotten Food, etc) Unit Generating Items (Peaches, etc)
History
- It has improved Locate Artifact results in the past (late 2007), but that was discontinued
- This
skill replaced the Barrier Proficiency as the skill in December-January 2006-2007. - Barrier Proficiency at that time became a
skill, and its workings were also changed. - The replacement probably had something to do with the spell-level effect on barriers being removed between original skill design (late 2004) and reintroduction of skills (halfway 2006).
- It used to have odd effects with some items, like causing Satchel of Mist to increase your accuracy instead of decrease it. forum post
