Artifact Locations

[Aselia]

I'm in chapter 2 & I need to find an artifact for the Silent Archive. Anyone know where to find one? I found a staff but it looks pretty sweet so I don't want to give it up.

i know of two
the "staff of hours" which u can find in a hidden cache inside vellum citadel
and
"the binding of shadows" which u can get from bleden mark in bastard city
the first one works definitly.
another option is to resarch artifacts in your library and then have them crafted.
only i dont know where to craft them.
does anyone else know?

You craft most of them at the Forge spire upgrade; most required research in your Library upgrade first. Some are simply found in the world.

I forget the names of most of them, will add later.


Found:

Staff of Hours (Staff) - Burning Library
2-handed sword - looted from Vendrien's Well Oldwalls, after Brotherhood questline
Magebane Helm (Heavy Armor Helm) - taken from Vendrien's Well, after Brotherhood questline
Final Scream (1-handed mace) - looted from Voices of Nerat
1-handed dagger - also from Nerat
2-handed mace - looted from Graven Ashe
Accessory - found in Burning Library, after Edict is broken if the Library is preserved (area is covered in lava beforehand)
Bow - Blade Grave Oldwalls
Binding of Shadows (Heavy Armor Gloves) - gift from Bleden Mark in Act 2 if favor is high enough.

Crafted:

Nightwalker Boots (Light Armor Boots) - requires Hound's Hide Mantle
Commander's Plate (Heavy Armor Chest)
Accessory
Alchemist's Gloves (Light Armor Gloves)
Staff of Cairn (Staff) - requires Head of Cairn

There's a bunch more out there, but I haven't researched them yet.

another stupid question;
can i only have one upgrade per tower?
because i only have the starting tower and the sunset spire on which i build a library.
do i really need another spire before i can start crafting gear?

Yep, one per tower. You need another one.

Surprised no ones mentioned Dauntless yet, thought that was the easiest one to find

Yeah, that's the first one I remember finding (equipped my character with it). I also found a shield somewhere, though I forgot it's name...

What did you do in the end? I'm in the same boat - I literally just got my first artifact (the staff) which I was pretty stoked about as my main character is a caster and has been using the starter staff until now. But now it looks like I have to immediately throw it away. I haven't seen any other artifacts all game, I built the library not the forge and I don't appear to be able to go anywhere new until I finish the library quest.

I just used the staff; after that mission the artifacts do flow pretty quickly, though.
