About

An Unburnt Clay Pot fired in a Fireplace to make a Clay Pot may fracture into a Pottery Shard. Unfired Remains fired in a Kiln to make Remains of Old may also fracture into a Pottery Shard.

Caution! A Pottery Shard counts as Clay in recipes, when crafting or paving make sure the correct item is selected.

How to Slot Artifacts

Slotting is the process of taking an Artifact and attaching it to an item of Clothing.

1. Inspect your Artifact. Each Artifact has a Difficulty, Proficiencies, and Bonuses.

• Difficulty is how hard the Artifact is to Slot. The first number is the Max Difficulty and the second the Minimum Difficulty.
• The Max Difficulty can be lowered towards the Minimum if your characters Proficiencies are high in same ones listed on the Artifact.
• Bonuses are how each Artifact benefits you gain when you wear the clothing that Artifact is Slotted to.

2. Inspect your item of Clothing. Clothing has Slots as well as also having a Difficulty.

• The Higher the Thread & Needle of the pilgrim who made the clothing the lower its Difficulty. Teasel can also be used to lower this Difficulty.
• The number of Slots is the number of Artifacts which can be added to that Clothing. Some Artifacts like Decorative Lace, add additional Slots.

3. Select your Artifact from your inventory and right-click it on the item of Clothing you wish to Slot.

• This will show you what % chance you have of a successful Slot. It is determined by a combination of both the Artifact and Clothing's Difficulty.

4. Select Slot to attempt to Slot your Artifact.

A Successful Slotting will see your Artifact attached to the item of Clothing. A unsuccessful Slotting will destroy the Artifact as well as one of the available Slots.

There is a chance to remove an Artifact from an item of clothing by making sure you have a pair of scissors, such as Steel Scissors equipped and turning the clothing into Rags. This will destroy the Clothing. The higher the scissors' Keen, the better chance there is to recover the Artifact.
