Two new artifacts will be making their way into the shop, and massdrop future list:

health_combo - 760cr
------------
Gives a 10% sip bonus to healing elixirs and increases constitution by 1. Does not stack with anything else.

mana_combo - 760cr
------------
Gives a 10% sip bonus to mana elixirs and increases intelligence by 1. Does not stack with anything else.


The idea behind these combo artifacts is to decrease the entry cost of the artifact meta without also decreasing the value of existing artifacts. All combo artifacts are cheaper than the combined powers of their parts; in fact, they're priced so that when traded in you get the average of the two artifacts back. I liken them to an 'introduction to artifacts'. They're big bang for the buck, but they don't build like the others. Nor will they ever have higher levels like the powers they combine.

Hate em, love em... expect to see more common artifact combinations, because I think they fill aniche in a way that doesn't mess up the entire market.

PS. All promised "Will be in the shop someday" artifacts are now in the shop. Just scope the massdrop future list before you pull the trigger.
