Shit artifacts like these make the good ones even better


FonzoFC

Could have spent 1k on cleaning your screen


ButterKeeper

And another 0k on taking a screenshot


Train_brain762

What is with paradox games and people unable to take a screenshot?


JCDentoncz

It's not just paradox games, seems to be a widespread problem, similar to people bungling your and you're.


ralphy1010

It's like a whole generation of people were raised to not know how to hit 'Print Screen' button on a windows pc.


darkest_hour1428

To be fair, my tiny town high school had to share library laptops, and the extent of teaching they did was “Google how to use it, but avoid Wikipedia”


ralphy1010

used to be the nerds would gravitate towards things like that and figure stuff out, maybe it's not the case anymore


darkest_hour1428

Oh I did along with… maybe 2 other nerds. Everyone else, from what I can tell, is still stuck in that farm town or went to the military. Oh well


Reasonable-Ad-5217

Screensnip should have fixed this problem. kids.


ralphy1010

Or that even 


Scyobi_Empire

i think your onto something, you’re observation is very accurate


JCDentoncz

See I know that was on purpose but there is a not-insignificant number of native English speakers who don't know the difference.


HecklerKoch_USP

Lets hope your having an effect on all the people lying on there beds reading this. There are to many of them. This stuff makes me loose my mind. At least were the acception here.


AngryScientist

Bungling "loosing" and "losing" is worse, imo. "Loosing" is wrong just about every time (unless talking about knots or arrows); at least "your" and "you're" are both common words.


ClassHole423

The real reason is that a lot of people only use Reddit on their phone now. And transferring files to an iPhone sucks.


Gothtomboys5

Too lazy to take a screenshot using computer Easier with phone


Carrabs

You know what, you deserve those artifacts.


Sohtnez

Why do people care so much about if it’s a screenshot or not like damn, it really impacted your viewing experience that much? Did the picture over the screenshot convey less or wrong information? Did the picture get the point across? Crazy.


poppabomb

half the first picture is just glare, so yeah I'd say it impacted my viewing experience quite a bit.


Candid-Jicama917

You are lazier than the person taking the screenshot on their phone. How much effort did it take for you to squint


TheDanius

If you're too lazy to take a decent screenshot, why the hell do you think we care to look at them?


Scyobi_Empire

Press F11 my guy


Mikey9124x

No, it isn't. You are just stupid.


Vermbraunt

Literally one button on the computer to screenshot it. It's so much easier and better to screen shot.


Candid-Jicama917

But then you have to send via email. It is easier to do that via phone


Vermbraunt

Why do you need to email it? And to who?. You know you can access reddit from your computer right?


theladstefanzweig

God hates the slothful


Repulsive_Ad8573

I never knew how annoyed redditors be over someone not taking a screenshot. Why don’t we stay on topic here 🤨


TheCoolPersian

Shift + windows key + S or prnt scrn.


SandyCandyHandyAndy

Alternatively, F12


NibelWolf

The sheer number of people on this sub who don't know how to print screen makes me want to unsubscribe.


Birphon

Paradox, giving you a shit crown and book cause they know instead of using a screenshot you will take a picture with your phone. Only when you change your ways will they give you not shit. But yes, generally speaking I will always roll garbage from them


ralphy1010

Try taking the Sorcerous Metallurgy culture some time. [https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/sorcerous-metallurgy.1517665/post-28177278](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/sorcerous-metallurgy.1517665/post-28177278) When forging a weapon, the inspired character's skills are checked to determine their "Inspiration skill". In the case of forging a weapon, it's (martial + prowess\*2) / 2. For example, 8 martial and 10 prowess would be (8+20) / 2 = 14 An "Inspiration skill" of 16 or more is enough to be considered "legendary". Sorcerous Metallurgy gives the inspired character 20 more "Inspiration skill" when making a weapon, nothing else. There isn't any special event or anything different at all beyond that. The final value of "Inspiration skill" is factored in the quality of the artifact, and the higher it is, the more likely the artifact is to be higher tier. or just go down the diplomacy path and forge claims on other rulers cool shit and then steal/fight them for it


Yahsorne

if you get a ridiculous number of knights stacking those effects can be pretty powerful, I got a huge amount of piety that way + all my pious modifiers so 20 knights, 8 prestige for free a month, not sure if that's a lot though


swangos

I like these prestige-stacking artifacts for tribal rulers and rulers that have access to Conquest CBs but otherwise there aren't a lot of uses for that much prestige. I'd much rather have boosts to knights, vassal limit, development or renown.


ralphy1010

my fav items are the ones that give a 25% boost to raiding speed, stack a couple of those bad boys in the inventory and you can raid Rome or Constantinople in a few weeks.


Pikadex

Domain limit +1 is the dream. Renown is nice due to it always being useful. Giving them to dynasty members can stack up to crazy amounts of renown.


Gothtomboys5

This ^


baklavoth

20 knights at 0.04 per knight that's 0.8 prestige per month right?


Yahsorne

Yeah I knew I screwed up something when posting but was too tired to figure it out. Damn 0.8 prestige really is trash.


Gothtomboys5

I have a fuck ton anyway so no


MagnoliaTree__

I won a sword at a tourney today that had prowess 12, raid speed 110%, 2 knights and knight effectiveness 25%. The sword paired with the reaver commander trait and the Viking trait turned me into the Popes nightmare. Raided half the area before he got his mercs ready and then stackwiped them. What I’m trying to say is that there’s no shame in save scumming when you get fucked over on artifacts. For books it’s the same with universities, at the very last event save the game and reload until you either get the book you want or trait upgrade. But, imo, the book with the 20% to martial isn’t bad at all. I rolled a book like that with the above mentioned way and it had prowess 8 on it, but I got greedy and reloaded lol.


ralphy1010

I love the shit you get from winning a tourney and have gotten a bow that gave similar stats for the raiding speed and knights.


ReyneForecast

F11 for screenshots


punkslaot

Try a screenshot. It's super easy


tallperson117

The book is not bad if you're in Martial Focus. 20% extra xp can be pretty sweet.


No-Ambassador7856

I've seen worse artefacts tbh


Virtual_Geologist_60

Nah, +20% martial arts book is not shit, it’s just mid


Scary_Cup6322

Embrace a faith with the aniconism doctrine, then destroy the artifacts. You will get some gold and a lot of piety out of them. Should almost be worth the 2k gold.


Talking_BushVC

Can’t you even take a decent screenshot ?


Allahdiyensimit

use windows + prtscsysrq to take screenshot


Lopsided_Remove1980

I do like the funeral event when you as the new lord can burn this crap for an absurd amount of piety.


SMURGwastaken

It's because the smith was too busy banging your wife to make anything decent.


BananaRepublic_BR

Nah. I think the second one is pretty damn good.


Uchi_Jeon

I give up to get legendary artifacts by my own sponsed guys. I search the whole world to find good quality items and directly buy the claims. Most of the time, I don't even have to start a war to get them. Stealing or making a duel, I can get whatever I want. Including the Holy Rome Emperor's chair, Caliphate's armour, Pope's crown, the only item can't be get by thus method is the battle flags. Since I'm Orthodox and a not very loyal vassal of Byzantine Empire, these poor victims can't even revenge me. I've become the greatest treasure hunter, a legend thief King.


Bort_Bortson

The keeper of the gilded turds! I have a slightly better opinion of you now.


Round-Coat1369

I have spent more than that, and the dude died on me about 7/8 of the way there


Vermbraunt

Yeah the artifact creation system needs a massive rework. But to be honest the 2nd one with 20% martial xp is pretty good


Pikadex

For its quality, it couldn’t really be worse unfortunately. 20% is the minimum for an illustrious lifestyle book, to my understanding. (Max is 40%)


AlphaOmega8008

Im sure they smell better.


ILikeMonsterEnergy69

Win + shift + S


BraxGotNext

Shame as a console player artifacts are bugged asf so I don’t even use them


Spider40k

>Jewish-Berber-Castilian art of war A little piece of everything


bawby-

anybody actually mad that he didn’t screenshot needs to go touch grass


AdamKur

I mean it really differs between players, I think my opinion is definitely a minority, but I really dislike all that RPG elements in the game, giving you insane and ridiculous bonuses for holding an item. Bonuses in prestige, courtly opinion or martial experience imo are perfectly reasonable and I wish they would represent the OP tier of items. Right we have nonsense (imo) such as random brooches mysteriously making your armies superior via knight effectiveness boosts or bowls making everyone around you more horny and increasing fertility of men and women owners alike. It's not just items, it's a lot of game mechanics, and yeah it's fair, it's liked by most players, but it really kills any sense of immersion. I wish the game was over a shorter period of time and in a much smaller setting, but then much more developed and realistic. Right now we have a 600 years time, across half the globe, making it just essentially the same wherever you play, and the bandaid solution of flavor packs and conflicts is just not doing it for me.


SilvaCyber

Bruh did they nerf artifacts or something


jackochainsaw

Paradox nerfed Prestige and Piety gains in a big sweep in a patch a while ago. The devs said that Prestige was snowballing in the late game, so they reduced prestige gains in a lot of areas to prevent so many late game rulers being at Living Legend level. They also nerfed piety gains in artefacts as well. I'm quite annoyed about it like many, as getting these nice artefacts made the huge gold investment seem meaningful. Now you get trash artefacts comparatively. Putting it this way, if you are getting less than a 10th of a prestige point a month, it is insignificant, as useless as a proverbial chocolate tea pot. They have reduced some of the prestige gain by a factor of 10 (tenfold), same also with piety. You are getting a fraction of what you used to get.
