Forgotten Stories Artifacts

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 announcement gives an equipped Dreamer Tome +1 Mana regeneration and +1 PEN for elemental-type damage. Dreamer's innate elemental-damage bonuses are 2.5% / 5% / 7.5% across levels, and its innate Health reduction is fixed at −6. The current cards now include the elemental bonuses and Tome stat lines.

The WIP Dreamer card still lists −8 / −7 / −6 Health; the newer official fixed −6 statement takes precedence in this guide. The Tome card's generic PEN line does not override the announced elemental restriction. Unequipped bonuses, regeneration timing and the conflicting base spell pools remain unverified.

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 changelog raises Hunter's base critical chance to 4%. The current Hunter and Rabbits Foot cards agree. The Hunter card separately lists +1.25 percentage points of Hunter Critical Chance for each 10% Luck and an extra-drop passive that excludes bosses.

Do not equate this passive with landing a weapon's Critical QTE. The card's 25% / 40% / 70% extra-drop chances are a separate rule, not the chance to obtain any specific item. No maximum critical chance, rounding rule or combined loot formula is supplied.

Official changelog · 2026-09-05 UTC

The September 5 changelog sets Tome of Dreams cooldown to zero. This is a cooldown change only: the artifact card still describes random spell selection, halved mana cost and no progress toward obtaining Books from those casts. The official spell FAQ says seeing a spell through the Tome does not let you manually cast it without first unlocking and writing its Book.

Zero cooldown does not mean zero mana cost or unlimited actions. The artifact card describes a 3–9-rune pool, while The Dreamer card describes a 2–6 base pool with 3–9 at level three. That cross-card pool distinction remains unresolved; do not assume every Dreamer level has the larger pool.

The Hunter card explicitly excludes bosses from its 25% / 40% / 70% extra-drop chances. Rabbit's Foot's updated 4% base special-critical chance is a different mechanic. Level three converts its special-critical damage into True damage; it does not remove the no-boss restriction on extra drops.

Do not multiply these percentages into a boss's listed drop chance. Wishbone's Luck bonus can be lost when it breaks, and the sources do not provide a tested combined loot formula or guaranteed number of kills.

The card reduces Restrain keys by two only when there are more than three keys. Breaking free grants Empower +2 only if you have fewer than two Empower. The listed price is 15 Silver. This is a targeted grapple aid, with a separate condition on the reward after escaping.

It does not shorten every weapon, dodge or parry QTE, remove all grapple input, or grant unlimited Empower from repeated escapes. Three keys does not satisfy 'more than three'. No new threshold or timing change is inferred from the unrelated Greataxe announcement.

Quartz Totem, listed at 15 Silver, protects against one Bleeding stack when the amount is higher than one. It does not say Bleed immunity. Carcass's Consume Life damages bleeding players and heals the boss based on consumed Bleed stacks, so the remaining Bleed still matters when deciding whether to enter the graveyard fight.

The Totem wording does not establish a periodic cleanse, treatment of existing stacks, or removal of one-stack applications. Do not assume one Totem neutralizes every hit of a multi-hit move or prevents Consume Life from activating.

Wishbone lists +25% Luck and a 25-Silver cost. Its break condition is taking a HIT, with a 50% chance to break; the card explicitly says blocking does not count as a hit. That makes preserving the artifact a separate consideration from its Luck bonus.

This is not a guarantee that any attempted block succeeds or stops an unblockable move. The source does not specify poison, recoil or every indirect-damage case. No exact Luck-to-drop formula is provided, so +25% Luck is not +25 percentage points to every loot rate.

Both list 48 Silver. Sapphire Ring grants +1 Mana on the party turn and +5% Elemental Damage. Ruby Ring changes Fear's outgoing-damage penalty from 30% to 15% and Vulnerable's incoming-damage increase from 20% to 10%; it also lists +5% Physical Damage and Fire Resistance. Choose around the problem your run actually has: Mana supply or those named damage penalties. The September 13 check confirms Sapphire Ring now lists Max Mana +1, a flat point rather than +1%.

Ruby does not remove Fear or Vulnerable, and does not claim to fix Fear's Speed or dodge/parry penalties. Sapphire's party-turn recovery is separate from its flat Max Mana bonus; extra personal turns are not confirmed to trigger it. Listed prices do not guarantee stock.

The Coin card calls its own description heavily outdated and redirects readers to The Wagerer. That inheritance card allows three Flip uses per battle across all players. It describes Tails as 45% of your own maximum HP and Heads as 80% of the target's maximum HP; against bosses it lists 65% self damage and 15% target damage.

Do not use the old Coin card's twice-per-battle or 40% values. Wagerer also says self damage ignores defense and protection, including Barrier. These are the redirected WIP rules, not a safe or tested boss strategy.

Its card explicitly marks the on-death 50 Chaos damage explosion as DOESNT WORK. It separately lists +7.5% Chaos Damage and a cost of 25 silver.

Do not buy it for a guaranteed death explosion or treat it as a revive. The broken-passive note does not establish that every other field is broken.

The card says it makes some Weapon QTEs easier and lists a cost of 19 Silver, 50 Copper. It does not name the affected weapon families or quantify larger timing windows.

It is not evidence of automatic Criticals, easier defensive dodges, or universal grapple assistance. Learn the published input for the weapon you actually use.

Bow, Assassin, Brutal and Sword Bandit each now list Weapon Manual at 10%, quantity 1. Runevorant and Grovorant list Old Runestone at 10%, quantity 1. Their artifact cards distinguish the goal: Manual gives +50% weapon-mastery experience; Runestone gives +50% experience for elemental affinities. Each card lists a 20-silver cost.

An experience bonus is not a higher affinity cap or +50% damage. Listed costs do not prove shop stock. Ten percent is not a ten-kill guarantee; no pity rule or exact experience-per-hit formula is established.

WIP checked 2026-09-10T01:32:37.446Z

Contorted, Crystaloid and Chaos Shredder now each list Chaos Heart, quantity 1, at 10%. This provides named drop sources. The artifact card separately lists +7.5% Chaos damage and still explicitly marks its on-death explosion DOESNT WORK.

The new drop percentages do not fix the artifact passive. Do not plan a last-hit explosion or revival around it. Contorted's low-health Overload is documented as neither blockable nor parriable; no safe dodge direction is supplied.
