General Artifact and Scroll Drop Information
To activate an artifact you need:
1. All 3 scrolls
2. Encounter Credit: This means killing the mob or finishing the steps required to get credit for the encounter (most often just killing a mob)
3. You need the artifact ( Drops off Encounter mob, but not 100% of the time, it can also be purchased/traded from other players)
Once you have all 3 things you can right click on the 1st scroll in your series of 3 and type /use this will combine all 3 scrolls into one.
Then go to the Loremasters in the Hall of Heroes and hand the artifact to each of the Loremasters until one accepts it, then hand him the combined scroll....Artifact is now activated and in your inventory. Jan 21

The Apprentices found in each of the Havens throughout Atlantis continue to learn more and more. Through hard work and a great deal of study, they have uncovered vital information about the locations of all the scrolls, books, diaries, and journals, etc., that are required to unlock the ancient artifacts of Atlantis. The Apprentices are ready to share this information with all who speak with them.
- In response to player feedback, the artifact scrolls have been adjusted to drop from only one mob type per artifact. Scrolls were also moved to different mobs if the associated encounter required players to have good faction with the mobs previously dropping the scrolls.
- In response to players requesting scrolls to be made available on more mobs, many humanoid mobs in the dungeons will now each have a chance to drop a large variety of scrolls appropriate to that region. Sobekites in outdoor Oceanus will also have a chance to drop a large variety of scrolls. (from Jan 6 hot fix)
Q: Does mob level have any bearing on drop chances? I ask particularly relating to scrolls. Does a blue con mob have a lower chance to drop a scroll than an orange or red con mob?
A: I asked the Item Mistress, and the answer isn't a simple yes or no. She said "The difficulty of an encounter is one factor in determining the number of *magic* items that are dropped, as well as the drop rate of specific items in a particular encounter. The level of the mob does not necessarily correspond to the difficulty of the encounter, therefore the mob level is not used in setting the drop rates.
"Scrolls do not follow the same rules as magic items for their drop rate. There are two possible drop rates for each scroll, with higher level mobs receiving the higher rate." Dec 19

- We are aware there has been some confusion about whether players have received credit for a story encounter or not. To help clear up this confusion, players will now receive a message when they successfully complete a story encounter, whether they obtain the artifact or not. Players will see a message like "You have completed the Fool's Bow Encounter quest." This will then show up in your completed quest list, although story encounters are not quests. If no message is received, then credit for that encounter was not awarded. When a player unlocks an artifact, the Encounter listing will be removed from the completed list and replaced with the Artifact Completion message (such as 'You have completed the Fool's Bow quest'). Check your completed quest list to see which story encounters you have received credit for in the past.

- Information about what artifacts are available to which classes can now be found on the apprentices in all Havens. Speak to the following apprentices to learn more about the artifacts.
Stygia: Albion - Danielle, Midgard - Yanja, Hibernia - Wyia.
Volcanus: Albion - Dredge, Midgard - Aidanar, Hibernia - Rhianera
Aerus: Albion - Alice, Midgard - Yager, Hibernia - Noira

Combining Scrolls
- Players can combine a set of Oceanus Artifact Scrolls in various ways now besides just combining scrolls in numerical order. This should help save on inventory space. For example, scrolls 1 and 2 can be combined into one scroll, and then later a player could use scroll 3 to combine both into the final book. This can be done with any combination of scrolls 1, 2, and 3. Also, if players have already combined scrolls 1 and 2, and scrolls 2 and 3 (to form two scrolls), they can now combine those two scrolls to form the final book. This will work with any of the combined, but incomplete, scrolls. (from patch 1.66j, Nov 20)
You can only activate one particular artifact once ever per toon. So if they ever DO wear out releveling one isn't even an option. 11/11

You can still activate different types of artifacts on one toon. The above statement refers to activating the very same artifact more than once.
If you have all of the scrolls, tablets, stones, or fish scales of an artifact, and you combine them.. there is a command that can be used to tell the story of said artifact. Right-click on the combined scrolls' and type /interact. It will tell the story of what artifact it goes to and where it can be found. 11/11
