I'm pretty sure this is new:

Crown of Chaos (artifact fragment):

+5 mana
+5 rage
+50% resistance to magic and astral damage

Part of the "Gloves of the Destroyer" artifact

Anyone have any more info on this? Like how many items there are to collect, stats on the final product, etc?

It would have to be something amazing for me to give up that helm. 50% resistance to all casters is ridiculous.:grin: It's especially useful against those crazy goblin shaman!

This is a very good item, but not really new - actually it's a part of Gift Bag, which now is incorporated into KBCW. And the composite artifact is much worse, believe me :)

OK, Bracelet of the Master of Fire, Chaos Crown and Belt of the Student are part of this artifact. Bracelet is so-so, but the crown and the belt are best used alone. And the Gloves (composite) increase damage of spells by 20%, and resistance to astral, magic, fire and poison by 10%.

There's a new item that you get for beating the tower on Debir called the Metamorphic Axel. It's an item that can go in any slot and you can change its benefit to whatever you want:
+2000 Leadership
+4 Atk
+4 Int
+4 Def
+1 Speed
+20 Rage
+20 Mana
