Artifact

• Examples: Horn of the Goblin General (lowest rank), the Ring of Mastery Wand (an ultra-rare boss drop), and the Seven-Gate Breaker (7 uses of a Lv90 thief's lockpicking ability)
• Some dropped artifacts, such as the Horn of the Goblin General, show their true effect only when certain conditions are met
• Gauntlet of Primary Colors: a high-grade artifact with three kinds of physical damage reduction; when elemental damage reaches a certain amount, it fully negates that damage once and then breaks
• In the Web novel, "artifact" means the highest-grade magic items, equivalent to Divine–Legendary class in the light novels
• YGGDRASIL equipment has 9 grades: Divine > Legendary > Relic > Legacy > Highest > Superior > Middle > Low > Lowest; "Highest" is actually low-grade for Lv100 players
• Divine class requires multiple top-rarity drop crystals and an ultra-rare metal vessel; many Lv100 players have none, and even Ainz Ooal Gown could give its NPCs only 1–2 pieces
• Guild weapons are a special category, one per guild, with a data capacity far beyond ordinary Divine class; if the weapon is destroyed, the guild collapses, and in principle only the guildmaster can use it (Vol. 1 p. 21, manga Vol. 1 supplement)
• Another equipment-type artifact: the Gauntlet of Primary Colors (side story); the Ring of Mastery Wand can enable only one wand of another system at a time, and the choice cannot be switched again for 1 hour (Vol. 13 p. 145)

Notes

Chinese translations often render both "artifact" and "Divine class" with the same word ("divine artifact"), so readers need to take care to tell them apart.
