What are cursed artifacts ?
In Hellhunter, "magic" is extremely rare, powerful, and always associated with darkness.
Today we'd like to talk about artifacts, which allow the user to access arcane powers, at the cost of a terrible curse.

Assembly
There are no free meals in Hellhunter, artifacts require expensive blueprints and rare materials, which are then assembled into the powerful items.
Each artifact will always require each of these gathering methods

Use the blueprint story to help manually locate materials in haunted houses.
Hunt specific enemies (e.g. shoelaces created from Kelpie hair)
Quest rewards
