Your First Artefact.

Xae

Definitely a Fireband, back when the name "Unrelenting Flames" was cool.

Nim

Same as @Xae, except the name "Lifeless Sun" remains cool.

Katia

Wings. I think. Wings and my permits were the first things I bought after lessons. 

Oceana

Gloves of Harvesting. I might even have bought credits IRL to get them. I was a bit impatient.

Bellator

A fire pendant - Unless globes/vials from globes count if so those

Tanaar

Set of pipes. As for 'real' artefacts, the first ones I bought were a Ranger's Bow and Gem for the serpent alt I never use anymore. Saving for Wings or a Wand of Portals

Jakiro

my first artefact was the Gloves of Harvesting. Only because moss was selling for 50-60/piece and ginseng for 45-50/piece back then and credits were at 4500-5000ish at most. Money came really fast after that, and I was able to buy a lv1 knuckle in a couple of months of harvesting.

Staff of illusion. Best purchase I've ever made in a game. Really helped roleplay and to make the sideshow games I coded more realistic. Quickly on the heels of this, a shadowcloak, which, in combination with the staff, allowed me to make my own room entry messages.

@Beya liked for commitment to Jester RP! That's 1300 credits on something a Serpent can do for free. IMO, those are, for that reason, two of the most overpriced artefacts in the game.

Those two things have helped make your RP seriously epic, however. I'd kill for a Shadowcloak for RP purposes, but 800 credits!? *makes puppy eyes at Ironbeard*

Pretty sure lots of people will jump to pay more than that for Anklets of Evade when Operation: Sell All the Cool Serpent Abilities comes to fruition.

Jiraishin

I will kill them. I will kill them all.

Trey

Would murder someone for Anklet of Evade. Tecton's bank account is going to be FAT if I ever hit the lottery.

Iocun

I know there's still hope for Achaea as long as people are still aware that evade is a serpent ability and other classes having it are thieves. But I can just see the day coming when blademasters begin to complain that they have to share their evade ability with serpents!

Eld

Well, it'll still be near trans in our third class skill, as opposed to Inept (or Capable? Low anyway) in your first.

Mizik

Odyssean Mace on Spire.

Then again for Mizik. Mace is such a massive world of difference for Priest!

Siena

My first artifact was a dagger if reincarnation, then wyrmskin pack. A set of pipes soon followed. I have no regrets.

Argys

Shield of Absorption is boss. Occasionally absorbing three-four attacks in a row while bashing? Yes please. :>

Xer

I haven't bought my first artefact yet, but as a gift, I received an amazingly sexy customised, L1 bow. I it. It got me my third damage kill ever, I'm sure it'll grant me more in the near future

But I'm looking at a Ring of Flying or a SoA next as a personal purchase. Ring of Flying seriously looks so strong <.<

Iocun

I once heard it even allows you to fly.

Tvistor

@Tanris will advise you.

Zhisana

First was a Prankster's Blackjack. I haven't bought anything useful with credits since.

Hermaldo

Other than a set of pipes and then my Tophat, it was a Circlet of the Will. Sylvan bashing can be a pain sometimes.

Yeah, when I save up enough credits I'm going to buy a flower pot, too.
