Artifact Quality
FreeCrusader Kings III
About
See an artifact's quality at a glance — quality stars, right on the icon.
In vanilla, judging how good an artifact is means hovering over it and reading the tooltip. Artifact Quality fixes that: it adds quality-rating stars to the frame beneath every artifact, so you can read each treasure's tier instantly — no hovering, no guessing.
What it does
Adds star pips indicating quality to the background frame shown behind artifact icons.
The stars scale with the artifact's quality tier, so a masterwork relic and a humble trinket are distinguishable at a glance.
Works everywhere artifacts are displayed — the Inventory and the Ledger.
Includes a matching treatment for unique/legendary artifacts.
Why you'll like it
Instant readability. Compare a whole inventory of artifacts in one look instead of tooltip-by-tooltip.
Zero gameplay changes. It only reskins two interface textures — no scripts, no events, no balance impact.
Featherweight. A pure graphics overlay with no performance cost.
Compatibility
Built for CK3 1.19.
Ironman- and achievement-safe (graphics-only).
Compatible with nearly everything — the only possible conflict is another mod that reskins these same two artifact-frame textures.
Safe to add or remove on an ongoing save at any time.
