The level 5 effect is nice. When on, any heal cast on me is 10% more effective. This does not include Pally chants, but it does include heal wards. Not great, but 9-12 points every few seconds for each heal ward really adds up.
I haven't tested the level 10 effect to much yet, but from initial tests, it seems to negate the killing blow.
For example, let's say you have 300 hit points left, and you get hit for 301. If this spell is active on you, and it does proc, the 300 hit points is instantly returned to you...kinda like a 100%, infinite amount, one time ablative proc.
If the proc goes off, you get a message saying something like "You have cheated death".
One thing I noticed. After I "Cheat Death", the effect is still on me. Dec 16

Leveling the Artifact:
Strategy:
Picture of inside of the fort with some notes Dec 16 - RasputiinThe story encounter, "A Flask", has had its difficulty reduced. The aggro range of any Taur checking for the flask carrier has been reduced. The amount of monsters in the area for the encounter has also been reduced.
(1.68 patch, Feb 19, 2004)
Clear until you can get some people near the flask, have some people aggro them and carry them as far away as possible. Send in speed and insta healing grab the flask and run like heck. Once a skald gets his speed up your good to go. Run back to haven and port to your bk.
Next patch i think they are reducing the range at which they chase so if u make it to haven maybe you dont need to port. Feb 2

To get to the Flask Fortress...
GO over the big golden bridge (home of the Lateef encounter) near the Siam-he camps. Follow the island clockwise, and take the second bridge you come to. That island houses the Flask Fortress. Nov 30

Firstly. Albion can do this way to easy. For both Hibernia and Midgard I would imagine this takes well over 2 groups. Albion can do it with one group. (Only reason Alb needs one is to clear the door guards).
The Flask is sitting inside, all you have to do is pick it and up and not die to the taur and it's yours. All we did was clear the door guards, and head inside. Pop BoF grab the flask (Agro's basically every taur in and near the fortress) and SoS out.
There are Two Taur Aanax's inside guarding the Flask. First time we tried it was by clearing the room, we pulled one and it hit for 700 on our pally double hitting. Cleared it and a couple of others, we then pulled the second one. For whatever reason this pulled about 12 mobs, we eventually got wiped there.
That's when we came back cleared the door guards and did BoF + SoS.
Taur rundown there:
Phulax are straight up mellee and pretty hard.
Toxotoes are bow users, when theya re engaged in mellee they seem to double hit alot but not hard.
Magos (sp) are hard aoe nukers, they hurt, alot.
Ialter are buffers and healers. The buffs these guys throw around really make the other taurs alot harder.
Sulator seems to be straight mellee.
Aanax seems to have a pbt proc, and AF shield but not 100% on that. Nov 30

Tips:
It can be done with just 1 good fg (2-3 healers, balanced group), don't need any ra's.Just clear all the mobs you can before you pick it up so you don't insta-die.
Takes a few hours. Dec 1

It's in the Phulax, Magos, Aanax, Suletor, Ialter fortress in Typhon's Reach. It sits on a pedestal right inside.
It's the island right at the end of Typhon's Reach with the fortress that is connected to the west bridge leading over to chimera.
It's the only Island with Fortress that has Phulax, Magos, Ialter and Sulator to my knowledge. Nov 30

Took about a full group divided in two. one with a Paladin, a cleric (for BoF), a minstrel (for SoS), an armswomen (for extra protection), and a friar (extra buffing, but not totally necessary). the other with a reaver and an armswomen. we didn't even bother clearing the door guard just got as close as possible (went up the side closest to chimera) sent the reaver and arms in to draw all the agro, charged in grabbed the flask popped BoF and SoS and charged back out. have to run out to the right and across the bridge towards the haven because any taur will automatically attack the person with the flask (probably within line of sight) easily got away with the flask and nobody in the flask group died. I don't think the flask is safe from the taurs until it is activated.
could probably have trimmed it down to 1 or 2 arms, a cleric, minstrel, and tank flask holder Jan 19
