Artifacts are unique and powerful items which grant their owners special abilities. Many of these items have been seen in other games in the franchise. In the context of Elder Scrolls Online, artifacts are seen occasionally during quests or can be temporarily obtained in PvP. The visual style of several artifacts can also be applied to your weapons via the Outfit System. Some weapon and apparel artifacts are seen and can theoretically be used by players, but are unavailable to be obtained.

PvP ArtifactsEdit

The chaos of Cyrodiil reaches frantic new heights with the arrival of Artifact Weapons!
For reasons that no sane person can possibly fathom, the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath seems intent on prolonging the conflict in Cyrodiil. To that end, he occasionally sends weapons of great power to Tamriel. Players who take up these weapons have their standard ability bar icons replaced by a suite of new and terrifying Artifact abilities! But these abilities-like all gifts from Sheogorath—come at a cost. Players must feed the weapon Alliance Points to maintain their hold on it. These Alliance Points are tracked in a unique meter found in the player Ul. Points acquired from sources other than quests and repairing structures will fuel the weapon. If the meter is fully depleted, however, the weapon turns on the wielder, killing them and stripping them of their Artifact powers.
Players wishing to experience the power of Artifact Weapons in a less competitive atmosphere can do so in Cheesemonger's Hollow—one of Sheogorath's pocket realms. Portals to this bizarre testing ground exist at the Northern Morrowind Gate, Southern High Rock Gate, and Eastern Elsweyr Gate in Cyrodiil.

VolendrungEdit

 
Volendrung
The legendary hammer, Volendrung, fuses Dwarven ingenuity with the seething wrath of the Daedric Prince Malacath. Its true nature and complex loyalties remain a matter of intense debate, but in the hands of a skilled warrior, its power is undeniable.

Volendrung is only available in Cyrodiil. Its introductory quest is Chaos Magic. This artifact is replicated by an outfit style.

Quest ArtifactsEdit

These items can only be seen or used during a specific quest, and are always associated with solo play areas, so you can never see two players with the items at the same time. They also provide you with unique abilities, generally only useful during their associated quest.
