    Boots of Blinding Speed were a thing of beauty in Morrowind if you were a Breton, but I'm not sure they count as an artifact.

    Probably Skeleton key for me. Useful in Morrowind and Skyrim, and necessary for your sanity in Oblivion.

    In Morrowind it was, without any doubt, the Amulet of Shadow that granted 80% chameleon for 60 sec with a massive charge on it. It was not easy to get early but worth trying for anyway.

    In Oblivion it was Fin Gleam. It was a very useful breath under water helmet that sold for a lot and was my go to in exploiting the dup glitch for ready cash.

    So... Does this mean you're responsible for the lack of cookies in dungeons @ZOS_DaryaK?

    Is this support article just a smokescreen to cover up the fact that you actually ate all of the cookies?

    Will we find cookies in dungeons?

    As you are probably aware, in this time period there are no cookies. No one is certain why there are no cookies. Some believe it was due to the Knahaten Flu outbreak being directly linked to circular baked goods, which explains the oblong bread shapes prevalent at this time.

    Others believe that Sheogorath made it so sugar became salt when used for baking cookies. It is rumored he did this over what he believed was an inappropriate bout of familiarity when his servant used a certain term of endearment.

    There is probably little truth to either of those theories. It is far more likely that a very bad batch of Bosmer Meat Cookies, meant as a sincere gift, soured the old emperor’s stomach and he ordered an edict to kill all bakers who had cookies on their menu.

    So, no. No cookie for you.

    http://www.ign.com/faqs/2005/the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind-museum-artifacts-faq-tribunal-494127
    according to the link, the museum of artifacts accepts the "boots of blinding speed" as an artifact.

    Quote:
    7. Vvardenfell Artifacts

    - Boots of Blinding Speed
    End Quote:

    is also mentioned here as well:
    https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/913818-the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind/faqs/25230

    However:
    it should be noted that this book
    https://www.imperial-library.info/content/famed-artifacts-tamriel
    does not mention those boots as an artifact.
    altho the date of that book is not mentioned iether. because there was a book of artifacts inside the museum you could use as a guide in the Tribunal expansion.

    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    For sure either the Staff of Chaos or the Staff of Towers. They're a little obscure, but sooooo cool. Staff of Chaos is just OP, but the Staff of Towers was pretty much responsible for a dragon break. Love TES lore

    Cuirass of the Saviors hide. When I found that in Morrowind while breaking in Divayth Fyr's tower I was so happy. And when I found out it also countered the negative effects of the "Boots of Blinding Speed" I was the fastest thief in Vvardenfell.

    I also loved the look of it in Oblivion, but I felt like I looked like a bum when wearing it.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    It would be intersting to see a dlc involving Umbra and Clavicus Vile I would like to see this. Maybe it leads up to umbras capture and imprisonment into the sword.

    So many artifacts, it's inhumane to ask someone to pick their favorite.

    Because of my love for all things Nocturnal, her cowl and skeleton key are high on my list.

    I did like the Skull of Corruption's look in Skyrim, looked amazing, even if the weapon was terribad.

    Ebony Blade of Oblivion was my secret passion. Watching my enemies just go rigged and looking so helpless was intoxicating.

    Azura's star was just too useful not to have.

    You're a monster for trying to make me choose. I DEFY YOU AND SELECT ALL OF THEM!!!!
