after I`ve found the scorched spear in the black market on my last game, I decided to do some testing and I came withe some intersting results:
I pick a candle born trolish fighter (so the assasins and outlaw leaders will not do me hard time while testing) and went ahead for Lawenilothehl. Before entering, I saved the game and each time I entered the market only to see waht`s for sale in the shop. I wanted to check which artifacts could generate there.
I repeated the process 350 times and here are the results I came with:
19 artifacts were generated:
Whirlwind - 8 times (!)
Long Sting - 4 times
Ironfist - 3 times
scorched spear - 2 times
skullcrusher - 2 times
That`s it! this are the only artifacts that I`ve found.
What do you think of this? does anyone found any other artifact in there?
Last thing, I also generated 8 AoLS and 29 SLB...

I once had Ironfist in there too, I think.

I think I've had each of those in the black market at some point before, and I'm fairly sure I've seen the black tome in there too. Not sure if other random artifacts have ever shown up for me... I know I've seen BoW in the HMV shop, and I'm not sure if it or others can be generated in the bandit village. The pool of 350 is quite small for any conclusive ideas - would need to be at least 10 times that to really get an idea as to what are the chances of each etc. And 19/350 actually seems quite high to me, I must say.

Shirt of The Saints is also a Danger Level 1 item, all other artifacts are Level 4 and up.

I think I've seen the black tome there. Maybe dreaming.

Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong!

The Black Tome I've also seen there, I think... Memory is hazy.

Oh, just for to confirm - I've seen all possible artifacts in the black market except the Shirt of the Saints (or at least I don't remember getting that one), that is: The Black Tome of Alcosuckus, Whirlwind, Skullcrusher, the scorched spear (this one is the most common for me), Ironfist and Long Sting.
Those all are Danger Level 2 and 1, since Holeinthewall has Danger Level 2.

Shirts should be able to generated randomly.

Also, Holeinthewall is DL3, not DL2 (Same with the first village). (Notably SLB require DL3.)

I don't know why the generation rate is so high, though. My math would indicate you should expect to see maybe 2 artifacts in 350 tries (if that), not almost 20! Wonder what I'm missing...

Aye, my apologies, that's correct - I'd forgotten about the artifact generation bug. I've only played pretty lightly over the last 4 years (have 2 win candidates I've yet to resolve too, speaking of...), so I haven't exactly been active, and my memory lapses ;)

And I am still not sure why the generation rate would be so high :P (Not that I've really sought out the answer.)
