Acquisition

Armor items with the Artifice Armor perk can be obtained as drops from dungeons on Master difficulty. Currently, the dungeons where Master difficulty is available, as well as their associated armor sets, include the following, from oldest to newest:

• Grasp of Avarice
  • Descending Echo Suit (Titan)
  • Twisting Echo Suit (Hunter)
  • Corrupting Echo Suit (Warlock)
• Duality
  • Deep Explorer Suit (Titan)
  • Deep Explorer Suit (Hunter)
  • Deep Explorer Suit (Warlock)
• Spire of the Watcher
  • TM-Cogburn Custom Suit (Titan)
  • TM-Earp Custom Suit (Hunter)
  • TM-Moss Custom Suit (Warlock)
• Ghosts of the Deep
  • Taken King Suit (Titan)
  • Taken King Suit (Hunter)
  • Taken King Suit (Warlock)
• Warlord's Ruin
  • Dark Age Titan Suit (Titan)
  • Dark Age Hunter Suit (Hunter)
  • Dark Age Warlock Suit (Warlock)

The most recent dungeon will always have Master difficulty available to select. For older dungeons, Master difficulty will only be available for the current weekly rotator dungeon (marked in the Director by a challenge that rewards Pinnacle Gear).

Artifice Armor Mods

Armor items with this perk have an additional "Artifice Armor Mod" socket in addition to their normal mod sockets. This socket can equip mods that will increase their associated armor stat by +3. These mods have no Energy cost and are available by default.

• Discipline-Forged
• Intellect-Forged
• Mobility-Forged
• Recovery-Forged
• Resilience-Forged
• Strength-Forged

Notes

• Artifice Armor originally added an additional Artifact Mod socket, which could equip mods from the current Seasonal Artifact that would normally be equipped in an armor item's armor slot (e.g. Helmet, Arms, etc.). This was replaced with the stat-boosting Artifice Armor Mod slot in the Season of Defiance.
  • A mod equipped in the Artifact Mod socket still counted toward the total Energy of all mods equipped to the armor piece.
  • Due to Artifact Mods becoming deprecated at the end of each Season, it was recommended to remove them from the Artifice Armor slot before the Season ended. There were issues in the past where Artifice Armor lost its extra mod socket due to this.
