Vaults of the Artificers loot

Challenge Barter System Rewards
Rewards are nominally available at levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20. Weapons and armor are available with ML 4, ML 8, ML 12, ML 16, and ML20. Clothing and jewelry are normally available one level earlier (ML 3, ML 7, ML 11, ML 15) with the exception of Epic items which remain ML 20.

Starting at level 8, items feature Tiers 2 & 3. These higher tiers require that you have an item of next lower tier (i.e., you need to build Tier 1 → Tier 2 → Tier 3). Additionally, Tier 3 at any level makes the item (ML:20 Tier 3 items created pre-U12.1 remain ).''

In addition, you can upgrade an item from one level to the next higher level (i.e. you can upgrade an ML 8 to ML12). Note that the upgraded item will revert to Tier 1. Since you can upgrade a Tier 1 item directly to the next higher level, upgrading Tier 2 and Tier 3 is therefore not very cost-effective.

Upgrading pre-U32 items
Upgrading a pre-U32 from Tier 2 to Tier 3 will only add an augment slot, it will no longer allow Cannith Crafting, nor will it convert the enhancements to the new version. Upgrading a pre-U32 from Level 11 to 15 will convert the enhancements to the new version.

Example: Upgrading a pre-U32 ML 11 Ring of the Stalker from tier 2 to tier 3 will result in a version with Insightful Sneak Attack Bonus +1, Seeker 4, Manslayer and a Green Augment Slot (instead of the current version with Insightful Deception +3, Seeker 8, Manslayer, and a Green Augment Slot). However, upgrading a pre-U32 ML 11 Ring of the Stalker from ML 11 to ML 15 will result in the current version (Insightful Deception +3, Seeker 8, Manslayer, Ethereal).

In some cases, you might get a &lsquo;better&rsquo; item from buying a new Tier 1 item rather than upgrading the old item.

Craftable
Tier 3 versions of the items at level 8/12/16 can be enchanted via Cannith Crafting. These enchantments increase the minimum level of the item. Using Master Craftsmanship I offsets the minimum level increase of the crafted properties by 2. It is also possible to use Masterful Craftsmanship shards to reduce the level of the item below its base level.

Items that have had additional properties added to the via Cannith Crafting can be reset using a Dust of Disjunction.
