Hi Nimostar!
Thank you for the fast answer 
Yesterday I found the adress to change blacksmiths.
It's in the h4 Dll
In my version (Equi3.51)
Life: .100040E4
Order: .100040F8
Death: .1000410C
Chaos: .10004120
Nature:.10004130
Might: .10004144
The adresses for potions are also nearby.
List of Artifact codes are here:
http://equilibris.celestialheavens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5145&sid=52894c27c245c66fb3bdce0bf0c994f6
You also have to rename everything inside the .ora of the dialog.blacksmith layer files correspondly.
And if u want to sell a artifact that wasn't available before, then open heroes4.h4r and choose any item that was sold before (like Mages_Staff) in the layers.dialog.blacksmith and save it with the name of the new artifact. And then u add that to your equi.h4r
Also change the costs of artifact in the table.

Hello my friend. I was trying to test it on few artifacts but it seems i cannot find the shop. I was correcting by checking next values if it includes Plate Mail (7E) but somehow i cannot find. Am i missing something?

It's the h4.dll file not heroes4.exe
I don't know where it is for original Heroes4 only Equilibris.

Hmmm are you sure about that? Here it is my h4.dll file
And it is my mod folder. None of the .dll files long enough to reach 100040E4
And currently i gave myself to crazy duty. I will gonna check greatsword (4f) crossbow (2f) and plate mail (7e)
One by one i will try to find 4f 2f 7e together. Or at least 1 or 2 spaces between theirs.

Single (float32), 4 bytes
Real, 6 bytes
Double (float64), 8 bytes
Extended (float80) 10 bytes
hex-values
And when i try to search it as text-string it says
Can't find ".100040E4".

No problem my friend. Yes it seems i found it. I have replaced Iron Plate with Golden Platemail (7E > 4D) game crashes when i click the armory. Now it seems i found the file you mentioned.
layers.dialog.blacksmith.plate_mail.df2
"And if u want to sell a artifact that wasn't available before, then open heroes4.h4r and choose any item that was sold before (like Mages_Staff) in the layers.dialog.blacksmith and save it with the name of the new artifact. And then u add that to your equi.h4r"
Now i am bit of confused. I have extracted these files from Heroes4.h4r/adv_object/artifacts/armor
adv_object.artifacts.armor.golden platemail.df2
adv_object.artifacts.armor.plate mail.df2
And extracted these files but i realize there are 2 platemails
Heroes4.h4r/font/dialog/blacksmith
layers.dialog.blacksmith.plate_mail.df2
layers.dialog.blacksmith.platemail.df2
I want to replace Golden Platemail with Plate Mail. I have tried few things and i have failed.
My last attemps is extracted layers.dialog.blacksmith.mage's_staff.df2
renamed it as
layers.dialog.blacksmith.golden_platemail.df2
then saved it to my equi.h4r but game keeps crashing while try to open order of paladins

you must name it like in the artifacts table, so Golden Platemail would be golden_plate_mail

This is not worked either. Changed this original file layers.dialog.blacksmith.plate_mail.df2
With this one
layers.dialog.blacksmith.golden_plate_mail.df2
But sadly not worked.
And i am sure about the h4.dll file change is correct
2F 00 00 00 69 00 00 00 4d (it was 7E) 00 00 00 C3 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 0E 00 00 00 6B 00 00 00

sry again, has been a while since I discovered this and also im very forgetful because of weed
I checked and now i remember:
u must export the .ora file of layers.dialog.Blacksmith.Life
then open with Gimp
and there u rename everything that is Platemail
but i recommend you eventually try a different artifact because I realized the naming convention is not as in the table,so it could be
Golden_plate_mail (most likely)
Golden_Plate_Mail
I guess

You'll need a program which can extract an ora file from your df2 file. Either Namerutan's H4ResHelper, or my H4 Resource Editor can do this.

Yes. With H4 Resource Editor I do that.
I actually pre-assume everyone who mods Heroes4 uses that.
But I am motivated to make a detailed post now.
