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. A maximum of 2000 artifacts can be received in a single pull. Your pull will also be interrupted if your Cargo capacity is reached.
While this table includes the 
GP cost to buy common artifacts, most GP should be reserved to buy much more limited artifacts.
The minimum price for sendable common artifacts on the Galactic Trading Center is 10,000 credits.
Minimum scrap value in credits for each common artifact is 5x the Artifact Points Cost.
Maximum scrap value in credits for each common artifact is 20x the Artifact Points Cost
- Note: scrapping the Alien Data Disc does not make sense once you have unlocked the Research Contract. Using the contract, each 700 research points can be turned in for 17.5 million credits.
Increasing Artifact Points
- See the Planetary Structure Reference for a list of structures that provide artifact points on planets
- The Excavator profession
- The Taltherian Neo-Structural Instinct evolution
- The Well of Yonayan ability (temporary and the effect you receive on use is random)
- The Chuhn Prestige (available only during the Chuhn seasonal event)
