Artifacts contains information about the ThaumCraft_2 mod.

Artifacts are objects included in the Thaumecraft 2 mod that serve little purpose but research. They can be researched for discoveries and new technology. They are found occasionally from monster drops and also in battle towers and the room under the Eldritch Monolith. Some are much more common then others like the human skull for example. Some are rarer like the ancient seal.

Obtaining

Common artifacts from the Lost and Forbidden catagories are drops from monsters, but can also be found inside of naturally spawning chests.

Tainted Artifacts can be obtained from mobs, plants, and an Eldritch Tree inside a natural tainted zone

Eldritch Artifacts can be obtained inside Eldritch Monolith

You can get almost all other artifacts with Relic Hunter Enchantment

Exceptional Artifacts can be obtained only from naturally generated chests, such as those inside mineshafts, dungeons, and villages.

Research

Their sole purpose is research. To research you need a Quaesitum. You can research anything, but Artifacts give you a far greater chance of a breakthrough than normal items. When researched it gives infromation that you can use for your own purposes. See Research for more info on that.

IMPORTANT NOTE: when you die, the research you did will be gone.

Other Uses

The only other use of Artifacts are aesthetic purposes.
