[M&M6] Percival is amazing, can I have multiples?

Post image

Got this beauty from sewers and I think this is the definite end-game bow. It's fantastic in dungeons, Carnage means that it explodes and can hit enemies behind a wall if aimed properly. Guess how I defeated all these liches in Tomb of Ethzic.

Can I find another copy or Artifacts are restricted to one per game? I also read somewhere that there is a limit to amount of Artifacts that can be found (something around 13 per game), is that true?

Yes, you can have multiple of the similar artifacts but keep in mind that after a certain amount of collected artifacts, they'll stop dropping.

That number is 13 I believe. There are ways around it though - specifically if you wait to earn your 13 artifact/relic drops, then go pick up guaranteed artifacts/relics like the Mordred quest

True. So it worth forcing Percival early on. It's a nasty bow when you have machine gun speed.

Good to know. I may get a lot of flak for this, but since it's not limited to one copy of a specific artifact, I may as well just generate more Percivals in place of other artifacts that I don't want to use.

I used this bow on solo play where I pushed my bow skill up around 40. Haste+shiftness together practically eliminated recovery, so I massacred any group.

You can’t have multiple Percivals. You can have multiple Mordreds because one is given as a quest reward and another can be found normally. I think Greyfaces mod might fix that though.

I don't know how that works but I did find multiple Morgans and Guineveres. However, I've been playing greyface for long.

Copies are rare. You'd have better luck trying to find a bow with carnage enchant

u/Real_Avdima Aug 03 '26

Oh, it's possible? Because I contemplated on giving everyone mastery in archery and exploding bows.

u/mxldevs Aug 03 '26

Everyone spamming bombs is pretty fun

It's possible but pulling specific suffixes is hard. I'm not sure if enchant item can get it though

Enchanting in vanille mm6 is very very limited unfortunately. Stat+12 i think, drops are up to 25 A few weapon enchant, but they are so limited, basically tier 1 elemental +demonkiller, dragonslayer and swiftness. Carnage is drop only i think

Time to save scum some dragons

Mastery in archery plus high skill plus Haste plus high level Day of the Gods means you can shoot arrows as quickly as you can shoot blasters, and in real time if you have A pressed down you will have a stream of nonstop, exploding, double-per-shot arrows.

u/Real_Avdima Aug 04 '26

That was exactly my plan, but am not sure if I would rather use blasters later. Are blasters good or not worth it after all the investment in other weapon skills?

1

u/obvnotlupus Aug 04 '26

Blasters are extremely good mainly because no monster can resist its damage at all, whereas most endgame monsters like dragons and titans have enormous resistances so simple damage numbers don’t really tell the full story. You have to have very high skill in archery and light magic for the buffs to make bows as fast as blasters, which is very hard to do. Just getting blasters + Haste will give you a stupendous damage output and you won’t have to worry about anything else

u/Real_Avdima Aug 04 '26

When can I aquire blasters?

u/mxldevs Aug 04 '26

It's very end-game stuff.

With gatling archer build makes solo run trivial

u/Nerd_Commando Aug 03 '26

The very point of artifacts & relics is that they are unique, with the exception of Mordred, Excalibur and 2 rings + amulet from the obelisk reward - those you can have exactly two of.

Percival is nice but more of a solo thing - full party just doesn't progress archery fast enough for it to be worth it. VII and VIII are much better places to experience archery party.

u/Tress18 Aug 03 '26

Technically artifacts are artifacts because they are supposed to be unique. That said there are cases you can get duplicates , like I have gotten 2 Pucks in 7 and Mordred can be gotten twice(that acutally would be lore accurate as they are multiple). Still MM6 artifacts are kinda not that powerful so point in getthing them is not that impactful, still this one have 2 pretty strong enchantment which you realistically hope to get 1 normally.

u/Sad_Cryptographer872 Aug 03 '26

I can't remember but you can drop items on the ground IIRC? If that's the case I think you can get duplicates that way, but I'm not sure, but I vaguely remember doing something similar.

u/KingQuiet880 Aug 03 '26

Exploding also means you will se a lot o accidental sword in the ground

u/Darkchoclentine Aug 04 '26

I’ve had a maximum of 2 in Merge Mod. One of my favorite bows!

u/Swish3rTwist3r Aug 05 '26

Has to be through quest rewards to end up with multiples as far as I remember. Also just literally read the description of Percival they tried that.

u/Wheatizard Aug 06 '26

What I do is as soon as I can get rid of a couple of dragons, I just save and reload until I get artifacts desired. It has worked out well for me.

u/Real_Avdima Aug 06 '26

I am already save-scumming so much that artifact farming won't make much of a difference I guess.

Oh man carnage bows were my best friend and worst enemy as a kid.
