Posts from Assembled artifacts in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
P.S. Later, I found the Necromancer's Amulet (along with a cloak and something else) for Arantir, but I couldn't find the staff (I searched all the shops and Utopia) – where did they hide it?
By the way, I had this weird thing happen: I leveled up the Cry of Terror, and I had a half-set of Necropolis items (2 items). The Cry of Terror refused to work even after I took off those 2 items. Is this a bug?
P.P.S. That is, the Banshee's Cry remained as if I had a full set all the time (even after I got the Cry of Terror and removed the artifacts)!

Как играть онлайн в Герои 5??Ответ здесь
message from Mos.keen: I've been fighting against her for a long time... my brain is turning into undead!!,
so, the "Cry of Horror" skill stopped working even after I removed these 2 items... Is this a bug?
So, I equipped 6 dragon artifacts on my hero, then removed one, but the stats (+4 to parameters) remained, it's a miracle ;):)

This gives +4 to morale, -2 to luck, -20% to initiative, -1 to speed, and -20% to the defense and attack of a unit whose morale has dropped.
And for Necropolis, the cost of raising troops is 25% lower, and there's a +5 bonus to attack.
Regarding the neutral creatures, there was a real massacre, even without the Banshee's scream.
The enemy heroes put up a bit of a fight, but not much.
If I had upgraded the Scream of Terror, the game would have become even less interesting.
I love the Death Embrace artifact set! But unfortunately, I couldn't collect the complete set in the game, although I managed to collect 3 out of 4 pieces.
All artifacts drop according to an algorithm – one piece from a set appears in one shop (finding artifacts from sets, like the Necromancer's Amulet, is practically impossible on the map). The system works like this: you, located on your territory with one shop, get one of the artifacts there, for example, the Crown of the Dragon, while your opponent, with a shop on the other side of the map, sees an artifact from the same set, but, for example, the Sheath. (Of course, these artifacts can drop at different times). Utopias remain... There, of course, they can give you anything... So, it turns out:
1. 10% chance that you will capture all the shops and not miss a single artifact.
2. 10% chance that you will find a Utopia that gives you the desired artifact.
3. And another 10% chance that you will find the desired artifact on the map.
In total, it's about 30%, which is insignificant for collecting a set... This is not serious, and you can't rely on it.
Of course, all this is just my opinion (IMHO)...

2. I probably chose a bad example... instead of dragon artifacts, I should have written "Isusin."
3. It's definitely possible to collect 2 artifacts, I'm not arguing, but the chances of collecting a full set are very low.
4. I wrote there about the reason why it's difficult to collect a full set of artifacts.


If artifacts were easy to collect, there wouldn't be any point in playing...

It is interesting to note two new aspects:
Assembled artifacts can provide bonuses even when not fully assembled (when there are fewer items than there are in the set).
Most sets (8 out of 10) are "tailored" to a specific race: they give heroes of that race additional bonuses.

It's a different story with "Archer's Dream" - you only need 2 artifacts: Unicorn Bow + Quiver of Arrows.
Or "Rune Power" - you also only need 2 artifacts: Rune Battle Axe + Rune Battle Harness.
This is more realistic.

:smile12::smile26:There's also another composite artifact - Tome of Dark Magic + Tome of Light Magic + Tome of Summoning Magic + Tome of Chaos Magic = Archmage's Book - it gives ALL SPELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:smile12::smile26:
That would be great!!!!!!!!!
But it would be extremely unbalanced.

It's simply impossible to assemble "Archer's Dream"... the probability is low, even on large maps =\ I've only found the bow from this collection... nothing else! Not once! So it's better to try to assemble something more attainable. I most often find "Dragon Strength" and "Dwarven Might."
No, on the contrary, it's the easiest to assemble
