The folks over at Ultima Online have released the publish notes for the latest game update.

Killing bosses in Doom will increase your chances of getting an artifact drop:

• Killing bosses in Doom will increase your chances of getting an artifact drop:
• Each player character participating against a gauntlet boss or the Dark Father will accumulate artifact reward points.
• The more artifact reward points a player character accumulates, the more likely an artifact will spawn in his/her backpack.
• Player characters who score higher on the Top Attacker list will earn more points. However, everyone in the Top Attackers list that stays the entire duration of the combat (even if slain) will still earn points.
