The Artificer is a unique base class that reflects many of the core themes of Eberron. With a masterful knowledge of magical devices and constructs, Artificers keep the cogs of the technological marvels of Eberron running.

The Artificer can be purchased in the DDO Store for 995 TP or could alternatively be unlocked by earning 150 House Cannith patron favor (which itself requires the Secrets of the Artificers adventure pack). |
