problem with artefacts

[Jacko]

I have been multilooting the chests in dragon cave and in training hall.

i keep getting the same range of artefacts. No more no less. More then 50% of artefacts dont show up, like pendant of spheres.

im playing gog version.

is it an issue? Or is it just me? Normally i would see all of them and i saw them when playing way back

It is too consistent to be random it is like the number of artefacts has been reduced


I am playing a solo scholar atm. With Forad and the assassin NPC.

I only have 7 or 8 artefacts atm.

cheers!

If you visit zone where black chest is, it always will spawn a artifact in it. However, unlike in MM6-8, this artifact will be removed from loot list from other black chests. And if zone in which is black chest will reset, this artifact will be lost forever.
You probably visited zones/dungeons with black chests and didn't pull them out (so go back there and hope, that zone didn't respawn)... or maybe you are unlucky - MM9 has ~40 unique artifacts.

Well, it is just the beginning of the game and i have visited only half the lications. Besides, from previous games i can remember all was fine. Well somthing got corrupted. Ive yet to see a more bugged game.

I found a really easy way of resetting all black chests using hex editor and changing only 2 digits

Cool - now i am back to enjoying my solo Lich
