Skill enhancing artifacts

I'm sure that this was already posted, but search on this site sucks and there doesn't seem to be a detailed manual like that one for heroes 5.

Does the artifact like unicorn string and stoic watchman add the bonus range damage or allow learning used spells? Because those boots of magic resistance still add a resistance, even not having resistance skill.

The discriptions of those artefacts (can be read in the map editor for example) give a good hint about that:

- Unicorn string: This bowstring increases your archery skill by 10%

- Stoic watchman: The Stoic Watchman increases you eagle eye skill by 10%

- Boots of polarity: Worn on the feet, these boots raise your magic resistance by 15%

So the first 2 raise your skill (if present), while the latter raises the resistance in general (no skill mentioned!)

Which means those artifacts are totally useless without that skill

You can still sell them at the Sacreficial Altar... rather that than learning Eagle Eye

Depends on your game version. With Sod, the unicorn string can help you to assemble Bow of the Sharpshooter, which helps a lot without archery skill at all.
With WoG, those 3 eagle eye arties can be a blast too....

Wow, I never even thought of that. Has this been tested? I always assumed it meant shooter damage was increased, even if your hero didn't have the archery skill.

So have I been equiping those arts all these years when they don't do a damn thing?


edit: I tested it. The arts only work if you have the archery skill.

What about hidden power of artifacts? I know some arts give bonuses that are not mentioned in the manual. Badge of Courage, for example.

Have you seriousley assumed they boosted non-existing skills for several years? Man, it's gotta hurt to realize they don't do squat

One gives extra royal grffins per week, the other gives 15 gold per troop, and the third reveals a big area of the map.
