As mentioned previously, artifacts are categorized into two types — Armor and Jewelry. The former includes a Helmet, Armor, Gloves, and Boots, whereas the latter features a Necklace, Ring, Bracelet, and Earrings. You should note that the main stats for some particular pieces are fixed whereas it is randomized for others. Additionally, you cannot get sub-stats that are the same as the main one.

Artifacts also come in four rarities — Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary — which determine how many sub-stats it will originally have and to what level it can upgraded, further influencing your decision.
