Artifacts

Revision as of 00:04, 4 May 2013

Artifacts are special items that can have many time-limited effects on ships (both yours AND the ships of other players) and planets (also yours and other players). These effects range from lowering and boosting Attack and Defense to resetting your Raiding, Hacking, Repair, and Trade abilities. Learning how to use artifacts to their full potential is imperative to your success in Galaxy Legion.

Some artifacts can be sent to any other player, either as your fellow legion member, your Facebook friend, or as a member of a legion with which your legion has signed a trade pact. Sent artifacts are removed from your cargo and are transported to the other player's cargo bay. If you are sending multiple shipments, there is a 5-minute time delay between shipements. Some artifacts can be shared on your facebook page where they can be collected by your Facebook friends. An artifact shared is replicated so that you do not lose your copy, but each shared artifact (or the stack that the artifact was shared from) can only be shared once. Only 1 copy is added to your feed so it is first-come, first-served. There is a 24-hour waiting period in between artifact shares.

Artifacts can generally be scrapped for credits or sold on the Galactic Trading Center (GTC) for credits. Some rarer artifacts, acquired via misions or disabling NPC ships, can be scrapped for complex tech parts, a necessary item for upgrading a legion base. Click here for a list of artifacts that can be scrapped for complex tech parts.

1 Acquiring Artifacts
2 Artifact List

Acquiring Artifacts

Artifacts can be acquired in several ways:

1. Accumulation from planets. This is the main way that most common artifacts are gained. You can accumulate artifact points from the planets that you own, and trade them in at any time for an artifact shipment. This may be done via the trade page. There is a list of the artifacts that are available via this method further down the page in the "common artifacts" section. Note that you cannot get an artifact that costs more than your total points at the time you accept a shipment, so if you want a specific artifact, don't cash in an artifact shipment unless you have enough stored up! Shipments are also completely random; you are not guaranteed to get the highest level artifact you can afford. You will however only trade in the exact cost of an individual artifact, as listed in the table below.

2. Raiding. If you raid an enemy player's ship, you can steal artifact points that you can use for an artifact shipment (see below).

3. Buy specific artifacts with Galaxy Points. You can buy most artifacts with Galaxy Points. Some artifacts are ONLY available by spending Galaxy Points, although these artifacts are not necessary for playing the game; they simply make it easier to play in some way. The green "Buy Artifact" button is near the top of the Trade page. There is a second "Buy Artifacts" button if you click on the "Redeem Points" link when you have Galaxy Points that you want to spend.

4. Mission completion rewards. You have a small chance to get artifacts when you undertake certain missions (They will state the chance of receiving an artifact and the rarity of the artifact). Also, certain missions automatically give artifacts after each completion.

5. Combat rewards. Certain NPCs drop artifacts when they are defeated. If the NPC was shared to legion members, artifacts will only be given to the top few players that dealt the most damage (A blue padlock symbol will display next to their name if the attacker is guaranteed to receive a reward due to the amount of damage they have dealt)

Artifact List

Common Artifacts

Common Artifacts are artifacts that can be acquired through cashing in your hourly artifact hauls from planets. Save up your hourly artifact hauls if you want a chance to get more expensive artifacts. Also note that many of these artifacts can be bought from the Artifact Market for Galaxy Points. (Click the Common Artifacts link to see the table for these.)

Battle Market Artifacts

Battle Market Artifacts artifacts can be bought in exchange for badges. These badges are earned by disabling, hacking, or raiding other players. They can also be earned by invading planets. They were added as part of the 15th February 2011 update. More buyable artifacts will likely be added over time. (Click the Battle Market Artifacts link to see the table for these.)

Mission Artifacts

Mission Artifacts are acquired by completing specific missions. Some are provided randomly during the course of the mission, others are received per completion, whilst others may only be provided when a mission is totally completed. (Click the Mission Artifacts link to see the table for these.)

NPC-Dropped Artifacts

NPC-Dropped Artifacts are received when you destroy specific NPC's in combat. Some artifacts are required to complete certain missions, whilst other artifacts provide bonuses to your ship or planets. (Click the NPC-Dropped Artifacts link to see the table for these.)

Daily Rewards

Each player has a chance of receiving one of the following artifacts every day from the Daily Reward. Note that other, non-artifact rewards are also available, so you will not necessarily receive one of the artifacts listed below. Also note that the artifact rewards are completely random; it is entirely possible to get the same reward several days in a row.

Artifact Name	Effect	Obtained From	Event	Image
Energy Cube	Fully restores energy. Note: uninstall your relays, uninstall any weapon modules that drain energy, and equip all of your best power cores BEFORE you use the Energy Cube to get the maximum energy recharge possible.	Daily Reward	Daily / Ongoing	Image
Tri-Matrix Emblem	Fully restores hull, shields and energy. Note: uninstall your relays, uninstall any weapon modules that drain energy, equip all of your best power cores, equip all of your best shields, and equip all of your best hull modules BEFORE you use the Tri-Matrix Emblem to get the maximum energy recharge, shield recharge, and hull repair possible.	Daily Reward	Daily / Ongoing	Image

Base Raiding Artifacts

Added in the 5th September 2011 update, legion bases (level 4 and higher) that have been disabled can be raided in a similar way that ships can be raided. The only difference is that raided bases provide "free" rewards; the legion who own the base are not penalised in any way. Successful base raids provide players with a "base crate", which have chances of providing unique rewards.

Artifacts That Are Only Available By Spending Galaxy Points

The following artifacts can only be acquired from the artifact market by spending Galaxy Points. These artifacts are not however necessary for playing the game; they simply make the game easier to play in some way. Galaxy points may be purchased by players, but they can also be received as a rare reward ingame, or through the completion of reward programs such as by completing surveys. Click the "Redeem Points" link in the game to view the Artifact Market.

Artifact Name	Effect	Cost in Galaxy Points	Used On	Scrap Value	Image
Artifact Warehouse	Constructs an Artifact Warehouse on your planet. Size: 2, Artifact Storage Capacity: 4000, Limit: 5 Note: hover your mouse over the question mark next to your Artifacts output on the Trade tab to view how much extra capacity you have.	16	Your Planet	? to ? ??	Image
Human Training Barracks	Constructs a Human Training Barracks on your planet. Size: 1, Attack: 250, Defense: 250, Population: 500, Limit: 1 Note: Must be Human race to build (buy) this structure, but it will keep its bonus if your race changes.	32	Your Planet	? to ? ??	Image

Radiant Surge Cannon	Replaces the old Radiant Weapons Locker, but is not an artifact you can get from weapons drops. The Weapons' stats depend on your rank when you FIRST use the artifact to create a weapon. The Artifact will be "Radiant Surge Cannon - Mark N" Where N = 1 + your Rank divided by 100, rounded down to the nearest integer. (Ie. Rank 0 to 99 = Mark I, Rank 100 to 199 = Mark II, Rank 200 to 299 = Rank III, and so on and so forth...)	48	Your Ship	? to ? ??	Image

Discontinued Artifacts

The following artifacts were once available in the game, but have since been removed or replaced. Some players may still have these artifacts in their cargo holds; these artifacts will continue to work as originally intended if used, although this cannot be guaranteed in all cases. If in doubt, contact the developers for more information or post on the forums.

Existing copies of the artifact will NOT function as originally intended. Sell them if you have any.	Phased out due to player complaints. Changes were made to other truce Artifacts to compensate.
Radiant Weapons Locker	A locker that contains a technologically advanced piece of weaponry. Weapon gained was based on your rank at time of activation.	Bought with Galaxy Points	Phased out as part of the 18th October 2010 update. Existing copies of the artifact will still function as originally intended.	Phased out due to the addition of the replacement Radiant Surge Cannons and a number of bugs associated with the Radiant Weapons Locker. Replaced by Radiant Surge Cannons.
