How it works

Searching for Artifacts is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Open Lock (effect type 33).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 118, which the datamine does not name. Its base value is 7. It scales with 1 times spell power.

What it does

Searching for Artifacts is a spell with a 1 sec cast and a range of 5 yards. When cast it opens a lock.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
