Editing Template Editor (section)

=== Artifacts ===

This setting controls which artifacts can, or cannot, appear during the game. Banned artifact will not appear on the map, nor in any situation, including: as random artifact on map, as starting artifact, in map objects and Artifact Merchants, and as [[Seer's Hut]] quest artifact. Special artifacts ([[Spell book]], [[Spell Scroll]]s, [[War Machine]]s and [[Grail]]) are not affected by this setting. By default, the following artifacts are prohibited:

* All assembled artifacts (they can be assembled from component parts, but they can not be found on the map already assembled);
* [[Vial of Dragon Blood]], [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] and the [[Horn of the Abyss (artifact)|Horn of the Abyss]];
* [[Recanter's Cloak]] and the [[Orb of Inhibition]];
* [[Sea Captain's Hat]], [[Necklace of Ocean Guidance]] and [[Boots of Levitation]], if the random map is generated with "water content: No".

Any artifact can be allowed or banned. Template settings always take precedence over default settings (regardless the water level). However, it should be noted that if spell [[Summon Boat]] or [[Scuttle Boat]] is banned, then the Captain's Hat is automatically banned. Also, [[Seer's Hut]] quest artifacts are automatically disabled on the map and exist only in a single copy.

At least one artifact must be allowed. If all artifacts are banned, the [[Blackshard of the Dead Knight]] will automatically be allowed. If all artifacts of a certain class are banned, then artifacts of other classes will be generated instead (except for [[Seer's Hut]] quest artifacts, which can only belong to "treasure artifacts" class).
