oh my.......People will go nuts if they are only obtainable via crown store/crate

Also are we seriously getting SPEAR of bitter mercy without any spears XD (I guess ZOS will just turn it to staff)

It'll be worse if it's in Gems.

As artifact's are brand new, I can see putting them up for a premium cost. "Well, they are artifacts..! Not everyone should have one."

I think they would be replicas not the real deal. As Daedric artifacts would be something they are doing with the pvp cyrodill. It is something they wanted to add in. As for the datamined weapons and spellbreaker shield you can be sure that is just a replica of its skyrim appearance not the real spellbreaker shield. IF it is I think there would be an uproar. They are just styles I think and not the real artifacts. I think the FIrst Blade might be a reference to cain or the weapon seen in Supernatural Season nine and ten. But with a more Herma Mora Look to it and not made out of a jaw bone of a donkey.

I was thinking these items were going to be the new artifacts that you pick up in PvP and become very powerful.

They could be this as well but I don't think so as I think they are shown as if they might be a crownstore item. But I think they are cosmetic replicas based on the appearance of the artifacts that might be added into pvp.
