I was thinking about it....each champion spawn "champ" has a small chance of giving out an artifact. As of right now, I do not believe harrowers give this. Yes, it's true that they give stat scrolls, and it's the only way to get them, but champs give PS and still give arties. If you look at the time/planning to do harrower (do all 6 spawns, many of which require more than 2 people for your average player), and then the planning of a harrower, killing first form for nothing, dropping the tentacles, risk being raided by anyone who happens to walk through star room when you're doing it, I really believe there is no reason why harrower shouldnt have it's own equivilant of a sash, or other arties. Perhaps even a higher chance to drop them too compared to the champions, simple because harrowers are so rare and take so much to do. Just my idea...perhaps something like this:

vestments of the harrower- doublet, mods like a good champ sash
protection of the harrower- kilt/cloak (orsome other clothing), mods like a champ sash
and maybe a wep arty, or special rare deco arties.

Just an idea, ofcourse, we aren't supposed to suggest new arties etc. But i thought about how champs have arties and it makes sense for the harrower to have them too. Just an idea, anyone like it?

Each champion has a chance to give out a sash or an artifact (Including Ilhenir and Twaulo).

We could add more stuff to harrower but it still would not be too common to get them (Maybe a bit higher but still rather rare). Because if something's going to drop on the harrower, chances are it's going to be nice.

Think there's an AoA called "something of the harrower" or to that extent, I can just move that.

Hmmm can maybe put in a harrower armor set where everytime the harrower is killed, 1 random piece in a 6 piece set would drop on the corpse. When all 6 pieces are combined there would be some really nice bonuses.

I don't see how this could hurt at all. Like d. said, Harrowers are rarely spawned by players, so any Harrower arties would be super rare. Almost like the leviathan only arties are. (I know some players have them, but still.)

And Bartok's idea would be even better. A 6 piece set that only has a chance to spawn a single piece on the death of a Harrower. Whomever could gather a complete set would be either extremely lucky or extremely good.

Good idea in my opinion.

If you move the lame artis that have the Harrower name in them to his lootpack...I would be greatly dissapointed.

Armor set could work as well. I coded that armor set system and only used it for one set so far, so may as well make use of it. :P I have to eventually convert the other sets to it though.

I could convert them as well. After all I opened that ticket for the armor sets because they correspond with the peerless and named creatures.

I don't know how I feel about the arties being a "set". Set items never seem to be as good as the top tier other arties you can fit in those slots, plus the chance of getting a whole set from harrowers isn't something I don't think aanyone would do. To do that, think of all the time it would take to do all the champs + harrowers to just get the % chance to get one of the arties...then ponder on the whole set. I think as interesting of an idea as it sounds, it really just makes more sense for the harrower to drop a sash and other arts like the champs.

The difference would be the harrower would always drop at least 1 part so it wouldn't be as hard to get. It would take some time to get all the pieces though.

We can probably add some new artifacts to the harrower just like the other champions. Just need to figure out what's appropriate.
