 The '''quest artifact''' is a special [[artifact]] in ''[[NetHack]]'' that you retrieve from your role's [[quest nemesis]] along with the [[Bell of Opening]], and is considered one of the prizes for completing the [[quest]]. While your quest artifact is not strictly necessary to ascend, it is worth picking up anyway since it is at least of some use to your character, often providing valuable extrinsic qualities.
-Like normal artifacts, quest artifacts provide various special effects in addition to any abilities intrinsic to their [[base item]]; see the entry for a particular artifact to find out all of its effects. All quest artifacts are [[intelligent artifact]]s, and each has a default [[alignment]]; your own quest artifact will always be adjusted to your alignment. You can only safely pick up a quest artifact that you share both a role and alignment with; other quest artifacts will [[artifact blast|blast you]], and [[cross-aligned]] quest artifacts will evade your grasp. You cannot wish for your own quest artifact, and it will be reverted to its base item if it would be found in a [[bones]] level.
