[Exalted] Fiddling with artifacts

[Leeham]

So is there any way I can make, say a Fine Daiklave? An Exceptional suit of Jade Superheavy Plate?

[The Rose Dragon]

No. Artifacts are, as a rule, already the most excellent they can be. You can make a 3-dot daiklave with better stats, but you can't make a fine daiklave.

Similarly, you can't have a fine moon-faced mail.
