Artifact search

For centuries, the Others have been creating artifacts — some for use, others for art, and some just out of boredom. To be honest, there have always been few truly powerful ones. Most are ordinary talismans with limited effects, sometimes completely useless without context or an owner.

Artifacts in the XXI century

The days when life flowed slowly and the Others had weeks to work on creating new artifacts are long ago. Now, things happen faster: decisions, fights, vanishing. This goes for both humans and the Others — it's easier to find something that's already been made and refine or improve it than to start from scratch. Even Grandmother Arina no longer creates new artifacts, but mainly recharges old, trusted ones — such as the Minoan sphere. The rest of the Others is not no mention.

What can be found in Moscow

Moscow is full with forgotten artifacts:

• a wand lost amidst the turmoil of Dozor's operation;
• the hiding place of the Other, who has gone into the Twilight... or simply gone on the booze;
• a gift made for a loved one, but long since lost its receiver.

All of this lies there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to find it.

Ability “Pathfinding”

Pathfinding is the ability of the Other to scan probability lines for artifacts. It can be used to locate places in the city where the chances of finding an artifact are very high.

This is just the beginning: once you enter the area, you will have to use “Pathfinding” several times, circling around and untangling the probability knot. The lines become clearer, the traces on the map become brighter, until they lead you to your goal.

After discovering an artifact, you need to wait a while before a new approximate area for the next find appears amid the noise of the city.

How it looks in the game

****

1. **Come to the artifact search area. **It is the orange area on the city map.
2. **Activate “Pathfinding.” **The steps leading to the artifact will appear on the map.
3. **Narrow the area. **As you get closer to the artifact, more clear steps will appear with repeated use.
4. The artifact appears. Click on the icon and study your find.

Finding's quality

Artifacts of any quality can be found, but it is extremely difficult to find ones of the Higher quality. They are not scattered around and are well hidden. Low-complexity artifacts are most common, but it is possible to find ones of the maximum complexity of 40.
