Special Items and Artifacts
Two staff/event-only reward families: the Artifact Arsenal weapons and the Lightforged Warframe summon.
Status: LIMITED — artifacts and the personal Warframe are staff/event-only. They have no vendor, quest, loot, or profession path. Raid Warframes are encounter-owned and covered in 20 — Custom raids and endgame.
At a glance
- Three artifact items: Dragonslayer’s Edge, Legionbreaker - Scaleshard, and Legionbreaker - Scale of the Earth-Warder.
- Item level 296, quality 6, required level 0. They are real equipped items, not cosmetic shells.
- No normal acquisition. Staff hand them out or use
.additem; events may award them. - Only equipped items grant their power. Transmogrifying the appearance does not grant the proc.
- The mace and shield form a pair. Equipping both adds a resonance that shortens the shield’s recharge.
- Lightforged Warframe is a temporary single-pilot vehicle, not a mount.
- Warframe access is staff-only:
.learn 250436, then cast it from the spellbook. - Warframe duration: 45 seconds, 10-minute cooldown, free flight disabled, all zones allowed.
- No player command creates an artifact or summons a Warframe outside the learned spell.
How to use
- Artifacts: if staff award an artifact, equip it normally. The item’s stats and proc work only while equipped.
- Artifacts: use the Transmogrification UI if you want the appearance on another weapon. The appearance is cosmetic; the proc stays with the actual equipped artifact.
- Legionbreaker: equip Scaleshard in the main hand and Scale of the Earth-Warder in the off hand to activate the pair resonance.
- Lightforged Warframe: after staff teach
250436, open the spellbook and cast Lightforged Warframe. - Warframe controls: use the native vehicle bar — Judgment Blast, Purifying Flame, Crusader Leap, and Vindication.
- Exit: use the normal vehicle exit button, or let the 45-second duration expire. Death, logout, and teleport also release it.
- Do not expect flight. Free flight is disabled. Ground movement, jumping, and Crusader Leap work.
- Raid Warframes are different. The chassis in the Dark Portal raids are placed by the encounter and cannot be summoned by players.
Artifact Arsenal
All three artifacts are quality 6, item level 296, and required level 0. Their original identities, appearances, class/race masks, binding, and durability are preserved.

Dragonslayer’s Edge — Heart of the Dragonslayer
- Direct melee hits apply Cinderbrand to the enemy, at most once per 750 ms.
- Five brands detonate into Wyrmfall. Enemies below 20% health need only three brands.
- Wyrmfall deals 2,400 + 60% attack power Fire damage to at most five engaged enemies within 8 yards.
- It deals 25% extra damage to dragonkin.
- Detonation grants 12% melee haste for 6 seconds.
- Brands last 12 seconds.
Legionbreaker - Scaleshard — Heart of Deep Earth
- A direct melee critical strike creates a fault under the enemy.
- The fault deals 1,500 + 40% AP Physical damage immediately, then two 900 + 20% AP Fire aftershocks one second apart.
- Each pulse reaches at most five engaged enemies within 6 yards.
- The wielder gains Obsidian Scales, absorbing 6% maximum health + 25% AP for 6 seconds.
- The effect has a 10-second recharge.
Legionbreaker - Scale of the Earth-Warder — Earth-Warder’s Covenant
- Taking cumulative damage equal to 20% of maximum health in combat, or surviving a hit below 35% health, grants Last Bastion for 8 seconds.
- Last Bastion absorbs 20% maximum health + 50% AP.
- Breaking or expiring releases Earthwarder’s Reprisal: 1,000 + 150% of damage actually absorbed, capped at 30% maximum health + 50% AP, as Fire damage to five engaged enemies within 7 yards.
- An unused absorb does not detonate.
- Recharge is 30 seconds. Accumulated pressure resets outside combat.
- Last Bastion does not prevent a lethal hit before it activates.
Legionbreaker resonance
While the mace and shield are both equipped, each qualifying rupture shortens the shield’s remaining recharge by 3 seconds. Both pieces also work independently.
Lightforged Warframe

Raid Warframes are not personal artifacts
The Battle for the Dark Portal encounter owns its own chassis:
- Map
902: one level-60 chassis, entry999132. - Map
901: two level-70 chassis, entry999133. - Raid chassis have no duration timer, cannot fly, and are replaced on encounter reset.
- Defeating the final commander removes the remaining vehicles.
See 20 — Custom raids and endgame for the raid rules.
Commands & UI
| Command / UI | What it does | Player-accessible? |
|---|---|---|
| Equip artifact | Activates stats and proc | Yes, if you own one |
| Transmogrification UI | Copies the appearance | Yes, if you own the item |
| Cast Lightforged Warframe | Summons the personal vehicle | Only if staff taught 250436 |
| Vehicle exit button | Leaves the Warframe early | Yes |
.additem 900960 | Creates Dragonslayer’s Edge | No — staff-only |
.additem 900961 | Creates Scaleshard | No — staff-only |

.warframe | Not a command | — |
There is no player vendor, quest, loot table, or profession recipe for these items. If you see one in a transmog set, it came from staff or an event.
NPC references
| NPC | Entry | Role |
|---|---|---|
| No artifact vendor | — | Artifacts are staff/event-only |
| No Warframe trainer | — | The spell is staff-granted |
| Marshal Auric Dawnward | 68000 | Raid Warframe encounter NPC; see 20 |
Tips
- Only the equipped item grants the proc. Transmog is appearance-only.
- Dragonslayer’s Edge is strongest against dragonkin. The 25% bonus is real, not cosmetic.
- Five brands, or three below 20%. Use the execute threshold to detonate faster.
- Scaleshard rewards critical strikes. It is a mitigation proc as well as damage.
- Pair the mace and shield. The resonance shortens the shield’s recharge by 3 seconds per qualifying rupture.
- Do not rely on Last Bastion to save you from a lethal hit. It activates after damage; it is not a cheat death.
- Artifacts are item level 296. They trivialize normal leveling and dungeon content. Expect staff to restrict their use in events.
- Warframe is a 45-second burst tool. Plan the summon, use the vehicle bar, and exit before the duration if you need to move.
- No free flight. Crusader Leap is a leap, not flight.
- Vindication roots you. It is a defensive tradeoff; do not use it when you need to reposition.
- Do not ask for artifacts in normal group content. They are not part of the progression loot table.
- Raid chassis are not rewards. They are encounter vehicles placed by the raid.

Admin note
Artifact items are 900960 (Dragonslayer’s Edge), 900961 (Scaleshard), and 900962 (Scale of the Earth-Warder), upgraded to quality 6, item level 296, required level 0. Their scripted procs are owned by artifact_arsenal.cpp and ten script bindings; only equipped items grant effects, and the transmog system grants appearance only. The raid pair uses 14 new spells in Spell.dbc, with zero-coefficient bonus rows to prevent double AP scaling. Do not place these on vendors, quests, or loot tables unless an event explicitly calls for it. Lightforged Warframe is live with LightforgedWarframe.Enable=1, FreeFlight=0, DurationMs=45000, CooldownSeconds=600, Health=24500, HealthAt60=14000, GroundSpeed=1.5, FlightSpeed=2.0, AllowedZones="", and HealthPerStamina=2; it is granted only by .learn 250436. The personal chassis is entry 999130; raid chassis 999132/999133 are encounter-owned and must not be treated as player rewards. If free flight is enabled, it must be tested on every allowed map; live is disabled.
