1) The ability to get added to cartels for design access only; no access to the clan aether, news posts, ability to see who is in it, etc, simply design access. -
It would be really preferable if this wasn't an artifact and available
to everyone, but I've asked for it numerous times to no avail thus far. - Giving the clan head the ability to restrict certain designs so that these design-leeches can't see them would also be nice. 2)
A curio satchel. You can stick all your curios in the satchel and
activate / utilize them (including rubbing the enchanted ones), but they
do not take up inventory clutter. This way you can actually pull the
things out if you want to show them off, instead of anchoring them back
home. 3) Revamp warrior runes as per my idea on the last forums; warriors will love you!
I
had more floating around, but it is early and they do not wish to come
to play at this point. I'll post them when I re-think of them.
An Ikon-generator; once per RL day you can pull an Ikon out of it. It
also comes with the ability to tune it to a specific (non-Eternal!)
set, meaning that you'll always get an Ikon from that set (but the ikon
drawn remains random).
1 ikon every 24 hours isn't going to throw things off; can generate more than that pretty readily in other ways.
Possible addition: *
Further comes with a low (2-5%?) chance of drawing a random Eternal
ikon, since it is an artifact after all, regardless of how it is tuned.
Treads of the Obsessive: When worn, these boots give you a message every time you enter a new room for the purposes of explorer ranking. Additionally, you may STOMP TREADS to see how many rooms in the current area you have explored, and the total number of rooms.

Decoy Generator: Dropped in a room, creates a copy of yourself which can be targeted by others. When hit with a hostile action, it explodes, causing minor damage and stealing equilibrium for a period. The decoy shows up on SCENT with your name. 15 minute use cooldown.

Also, I'm getting to a point where I really, really want to be able to stick a shield rune on a monk or warrior weapon. But that might just mean I need to talk to my envoy.
Being able to single parent adopt would be GREAT! Also, being able to adopt when your spouse is inactive, but you don't want to divorce them for reasons.
Except a shield rune on a monk or warrior weapon will be a bit overpowered, I'd think, especially if you still get to use it as a weapon. If not, well... might as well just use a weapon and a shield. That said, weaponparry takes precedence over shieldparry, so if you have a shield and a weapon wielded, you'll be parrying with weapon rather than shield. I think that's probably intentional, but eh... no idea. I just know that any time I've wielded a weapon and a shield on a character, they'd ignore the shield completely.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Every time this comes up, some people like to rehash everything they've ever suggested before but didn't get in. You're welcome to do so but I note that Estarra takes every idea from the thread, compiles them in a list, then we remove the ones we do. Then the following time, we add to that list. Bringing up "Crumkane's Cookie" for four years running doesn't actually do anything, in that regard; it was already on the list and will be on the list next time, and so forth.
I figured not, given it tends to happen a lot - thus why I pointed it out! There should be an emoticon of a rainbow and a star.
My suggestion is to always look for new ideas versus old ones. Personally, if I were sitting around creating artifact concepts (I'm not, probably the worst person in the world for that job) I'd come up with things that aren't "mimic xyz" but unique, interesting, and valuable. Who that value appeals to, be it combatants, utilitarian, or roleplayers, isn't really important - just that it has it. Though, I'd try to come up with enough things that every 'type' is appealed to. That's just from my experience, anyways. I'm sure looking at what have been approved and what haven't is a good enough indicator.

...but seriously, make that Flag of the 2nd Circle. Please. Invincible monk needs to show off.

Unfortunately, first one does not do so.
Second one would be nice.
Third one would be iffy for me somewhat.
Would love an artifact that doubles the number of rings/necklaces we can wear would be lovely.

Eventru's Salubrious Loincloth - Alerts everyone in the Basin when the wearer logs on.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Orb of Shrouding - can only be implanted in a manse you own. Makes anyone in the room unable to be scried/farscouted.
Gnomish Chumbucket - PULL BEAST FROM BUCKET to spawn a random non-loyal mob from anywhere in Lusternia once a lusternian month. Maybe a fink, maybe a Kethuru tentacle. Automatically aggressive.

<insert object type here> of aetheric attunement: Allows the user to attune to a plane or aetherbubble once per lusternian day. For the duration of the day, the user can speak and be heard on that plane or aetherbubble from anywhere, somewhat like a limited version of omniscience. Possibly, in addition, the user would be able to scry people on that plane or aetherbubble from anywhere (ie, you could scry people on astral from prime if attuned).
