Sparkler

The  is an artifact that appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha and all other canon S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.

"Found near the Electra type of anomaly. Quite widespread and inexpensive artifact. But still it is valued among the researchers in the Zone for its qualities."

- Inventory description

"Born in the 'Electro' anomaly. A fairly common and inexpensive artifact. However, this does not make it useless. This artifact is valuable primarily for ecologists, since it provides small protection against small discharges of electricity. Emits radiation."

Overview

 * v1.30013 - 1.4005:


 * The least effective endurance restoring artifact, made even less effective for the Lost Alpha.
 * In keeping with the peculiar behaviour exhibited in the Base Game, the artifact will only be visible to the player between the hours of midnight and 05:00h after which it will rapidly vanish from sight (but still remain broadly in situ) until the next period of visibility.


 * v1.4007:


 * Changed property set.
 * Rare, contrary to description claims.
 * Now gives trivial protection from Electro anomalies.

Trivia

 * v1.30013 - 1.4005:


 * An essential ingredient for the Artifact Merger synthesis of the Electra and Snowflake artifacts.


 * v1.4007:


 * Recipe for Snowflake unavailable except by cheating.
 * The recipe for Electra is now a recipe for Discharge and also involves the Sparkler.
