19.25.3 Shop of Wonders 5 - 10

(see also: HELP ARTEFACTS, HELP ARTEFACT TRANSFERS, HELP ARTEFACT TRADEINS)

Artefacts are special items that can be purchased only with Bound Credits. Unless otherwise stated, artefacts can be purchased in Merentesh's series of shops in Delos. They will reset into your inventory frequently, which means they cannot be loaned out, or stolen(!), for very long. Some only work for the owner. They never decay. They cannot be changed to reset to anyone else's inventory, so do not buy artefacts of any kind if you intend to sell them.

This file is for Shop of Wonders items that are 5 to 10 Mayan Crowns, respectively. See HELP SHOP OF WONDERS1 or HELP 19.25.2
Housing-related Wonders items can be found in HELP HOUSE OF WONDERS
Discontinued stock can be found in HELP DISCONTINUED SHOP OF WONDERS

Note About Stacking
-------------------
Artefact effects (for similar artefacts) don't combine or stack. If you have, say, a Collar of Ceylon and a Collar of Agatheis, then only one will boost damage of a magical nature. If you have a Logosian Ring and a Mayan Ring, then only one will increase the value of sipping a health elixir. In general, the best item rules, but there may be exceptions. So don't count on having two artefacts and somehow stacking their effects.


All items purchased in the Shop of Wonders with Mayan Crowns are resetting and
non-decay. They also have no trade-in credit value and cannot be refunded.

Items purchased with GOLD in the Shop of Wonders are NOT resetting nor
non-decay.

The Shop of Wonders can be found among the other artefact shops in Delos.
