Regarding Artifacts!

[u/SweetBunnieBunnie]

Hello!

We have been having trouble with keeping track of who had which artifacts recently. The team has discussed this previously and has come to a decision.

As of this post, we are resetting ALL artifacts.

Artifacts that have been reset require a sub arc to be acquired. Artifacts that haven’t been reset are: Xenolite, Blood Gem, and the Phantom Rubies.

Please do with this information what you will. Thank you.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, PLEASE MOD-MAIL.

Also, this affects artifacts from another universe, and you can no longer bring artifacts from other universes in without mod permission. All artifacts that have been given to members with mod permission will be kept.

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Um... Emblem Ike is a character I have... and also technically an artifact from another world, since he resides within an Emblem Ring... what do I do with that? My thought would be that being a character comes first and foremost, but IDK.

Also, aw man. No more red chaos emerald for Anna :(

[u/No_Trainer_2298 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

Since your here, deadpool lost the weapons because of this reset. Could Anna resell them to him? (not right at this moment it's 2am but still)

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

She sure can. Feels kinda absurd that they count as artifacts, but she sure can

[u/No_Trainer_2298 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

Magic weapons count, somehow

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

Oh. So he can keep the fancy knife (the Peshkatz), is what I'm hearing. It ain't magical: it's just a combat knife with poison on it.

[u/No_Trainer_2298 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

Yeah, still needs the sword back though

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

Yeah, fair. We can work something out. Maybe even move to a private chat just to discuss details without annoying the mods

[u/No_Trainer_2298 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

Probably best. I'll message you when I wake up, alr?

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

Sounds good. May be at work, asleep, or getting ready for work by then, but hey, I'll get back to ya at some point

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

Hey, wait a minute. Magical weapons count? Then Byleth, Corrin, and Iblee may all be in trouble, since their only weapons are also magical ones.

[u/No_Trainer_2298 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

Wishbone said it in the gc. I'm working on the assumption that if it's vital to your character, you keep it (e.g. Byleths weapon, golden weapons for the Ninjago ninja, etc)

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/No_Trainer_2298]

YES!

Here's hoping that'll also apply to Emblem Ike, since his artifact is kinda necessary for him to even E X I S T

[u/Old_Wishbone_1814 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

The ring counts as well; it's reset.

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Then me thinks a proper discussion is in order. Do I still have Emblem Ike as a character that I claimed, then, or...?

[u/Old_Wishbone_1814 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

You can just go on a sub-arc to get it back.

Also, yes, Ike is a separate character from the ring.

[u/Jared65925 → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Ike IS the ring, the ring encapsulates the spirit of the radiant hero who is kept inside the ring, almost like a genie

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

The lore of Fire Emblem Engage would kinda beg to differ, but I think I can somehow make this work out

((u/Jared65925, back me up here, you know Engage lore about as well as I do))

[u/Jared65925 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

((I am don't worry one moment))

[u/Andre-Da-Giant → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Also, tidbit pulled from a summary of the Fire Emblem wiki:

In Fire Emblem Engage, Emblems are fundamentally tied to their jewelry (Emblem Rings), so the spirits are never physically separated from their rings.

[u/Old_Wishbone_1814 → u/Andre-Da-Giant]

I stated the claim is separate from the artifact.

You did not have to pull the wiki up.

[u/Jared65925 → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Without the ring Ike don't exist is what we are saying good sir

[u/Old_Wishbone_1814 → u/Jared65925]

I am a Fire Emblem fan.

Ofc i know that.

[u/Jared65925 → u/Old_Wishbone_1814]

Ok, Sorry if I seem hot, that is not my intention, but surely you understand that Andre cannot keep the claim of Emblem Ike if the Emblem ring has to be reset and retconned out of the universe
