Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia/Artifacts

Information
All artifacts must be equipped on the hero to provide any benefits.

Bonus Information

Most bonuses are additive in this game. For example, if the hero has both the Ring of Conjuring and Cape of Conjuring, then the hero's spells will have their duration increased by 5 rounds. Similarly, for percentage bonuses, a Hero with the Amulet of the Undertaker and the Dead Man's Boots will receive a 20% bonus to his Necromancy skill.

In the case of bonuses to skills, the hero only gains the bonuses if he has learned the relavant skill.

Item Classes

Item Classes are used by the game to determine a lot of different things in the game. There are four ranks of items, and from weakest to strongest, they are Treasure, Minor, Major, and Relic. As expected, the higher the rank the item, there will be less of them available on the map, they will be guarded more heavily, and they will cost more.

Head
Each hero can equip one head item.

Neck
Each hero can equip one neck item.

Shoulders
Each hero can equip one shoulders item.

Right Hand
Each hero can equip one right hand item.

Left Hand
Each hero can equip one left hand item.

Torso
Each hero can equip one torso item.

Finger
Each hero can equip up to two finger items.

Feet
Each hero can equip one feet item.

Miscellaneous
Each hero can equip up to five miscellaneous items.

There is additional miscellaneous artifact called a Spell Scroll. A Spell Scroll can have any spell in the game on it, and that spell is added to your spellbook, but only while you have the scroll equipped.

Combination Artifacts
Combination Artifacts can be made from certain artifacts. To form a Combination Artifact, you must equip all artifacts needed on your hero, and then right-click on one of the component items. You'll then get a prompt to make the artifact. A Combination Artifact gives all the bonuses of the component parts, plus an extra bonus. However, even though it is displayed as only one item, it will still take up all the slots the component parts used. If you wish, you can disassemble a Combination Artifact back into the component parts by right-clicking on the artifact. There is no limit to how many times you create or disassemble a Combination Artifact.
