There are only three types of artifacts. They can either release powerful skills, have some special features, or both.

These artifacts in Azshara's treasure house are all of the first type. They either release powerful constant spells, or they can amplify the magic cast by the holder. The second type is relatively special, such as the Book of Medivh.

It is called an artifact, not because of its amplification effect, but because it can open the door to darkness.

The third type is the Pillar of Creation represented by the Tide Stone. The Pillar of Creation is not only specially made but also has a super amplification effect and a powerful constant spell.

From the current point of view, Gale cannot create the third artifact. And the first artifact is not what Azshara wants, so Gale can only work towards the second one.

Wanting to make Crown of the Broken Queen special in some way, Gale instantly recalled several attributes of the equipment in the game.

Spell power, health, mana, skill haste, and the passive skills Holy Guard and Holy Baptism.

The Kaldorei Empire currently does not have access to the Holy Light, so it can only use arcane magic instead, turning its two passive skills into Arcane Guard and Arcane Baptism.

Arcane Guard needs to find a combination of runes with strong defensive power, while Arcane Baptism needs to find a combination of runes that can enhance arcane wisdom.

It's much easier once you have the direction. Vashj brought a lot of books about runes. Gale just needs to filter out the close runes in the book, put them together, and then test them.

This work does not require any creativity, it just requires tedious repetition. In order to reduce the workload, Gale first tested and classified all the runes, connected the runes between different types, and then tested them.<

/p>

In the end, it turned out that millions of combinations needed to be tested.

There was no other way. Gale could only hand over this task to Xavius ​​and ask him to bring in more mages for testing. Xavius ​​was curious about the use of this boring combination, so he specially called hundreds of them.

The royal mage helps with testing.

These royal mages were all archmages with their own mage towers, and they were very dissatisfied with obeying a guy like Gale who had just become a full-fledged mage. However, they tolerated their dissatisfaction for the sake of the queen's crown.

But if Gale cannot create the crown, their anger will be poured out on Gale.

Gale turned a blind eye to the hostility of the mages. After having a plan, the follow-up work was just building blocks. The only thing that needed to be done now was to find the right building blocks.

Someone is testing the runes group, and the rest is materials and enchantments.

The material of the artifact must meet several characteristics: it is hard to be destroyed, has strong magic conductivity, has strong magic storage ability, and is easy to be enchanted.

When building the Blade of Sanction, Gale tested the properties of currently known metals. Adamantine meets the solid properties, mithril meets the magic-guiding properties and easy enchantment properties, and there is a metal that is equivalent to a combination of adamantine and mithril.

, that is Hengjin.

Eternal gold is very rare. It is an associated ore of fine gold. In the fine gold veins, one percent of eternal gold is considered too much.

If you are making epic weapons, there is no problem using adamantine or mithril. But to make artifacts, eternity gold is the only choice.

This is a magical world, and the more delicate the items, the easier they are to be destroyed. Deathwing can be defeated by the moving objects used by the mage apprentices to practice. High-precision things are obviously not suitable for appearing in this world.

The steampunk style in World of Warcraft is not unreasonable.

Eternal gold has a certain ability to store magic, but the effect definitely does not meet the needs of an artifact. Therefore, other metals are needed to complete this task, and Gale chose Arcanite.

Arcanite is a synthetic metal that is obtained by using arcane crystals to change the particle form of Thorium ingots.

The Kaldorei Empire has a lot of arcane crystals, and Thorium is not a very rare metal. However, the mages have not yet mastered the method of making arcane ingots. Gale deduced from the results that it just requires some experiments.

Gale asked for a laboratory and completed the experiment of enchanting arcane ingots alone.

As long as you master this technology, you can create as many artifacts as you want in the future. The only thing you need to worry about is that the output of Hengjin is too rare.

The progress of the arcane ingot experiment is very slow. Gale needs to constantly hit the thorium ingot with arcane particles. The speed and position of the impact need to be correct, which is also an experiment that takes time.

Fortunately, the last thing the Kaldorei need to worry about is experiments.

A month passed, and Savvis came to urge him, but Gale was still not in a hurry.

Two months passed, and Vashchi also came to urge her. Gale already had an idea.

Three months passed. Gale finished reading the books and asked Vashchi to change a batch.

Half a year later, Gale finally created and transformed some Arcane. However, because of the wrong method, Arcane quickly turned into Thorium again. But this also made Gale know that he was working in the right direction.

Another half year passed, and Gale used arcane particles from ten arcane crystals to collide with the Thorium ingot at the same time, and finally successfully made an Arcane ingot.

He first tested the properties of arcane gold ingots and recorded them in detail in his notebook.

Then they found Xavius, combined with more than a dozen mages, and used the energy of the Well of Eternity to combine eternity gold and arcane gold, and finally made the crown according to the drawings.

Only two months ago, the mages selected the appropriate combination of two sets of runes.

Gale asked for the experimental records of the mages, on the one hand to confirm the correctness of the experiments, and on the other hand to record valuable rune combinations for future use.

Xavius ​​asked curiously: "There are at least a dozen of these two sets of runes. How can they be enchanted on such a small crown?"

Gale was confident, "It's easy, but I need a needle that can carve on eternal gold."

"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Xavius ​​shook his head, not knowing what kind of needle could carve runes on eternium.

"Looks like we have to do another experiment!" Gale covered his forehead. After staying in the laboratory for almost a year, he really didn't want to do any more experiments.

Xavius ​​became even more curious, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Gale's eyes lit up, "Of course!"

There is no advanced technology in hardness testing, and it would be great if Savvis could help.

Under Gale's command, Sarvis made a needle out of all the metals. Then he tested it on Eternal Gold, and the results showed that all the needles failed to meet the hardness requirements.

In desperation, Gale could only turn his attention to the gems in Azshara's treasure house.

The first thing he chose was diamonds, but the effect of diamonds was not very good. He then selected some crystals that seemed to be solid, and finally found a crystal called Asunat Citrine, whose edges and corners can be used to cast gold on eternity.
