Artifacts

Revision as of 00:38, 13 February 2011

Artifacts are special items that can have many time-limited effects on ships (yours AND others) and planets (also yours and others). 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.

Acquiring Artifacts

Artifacts can be acquired in one of five ways:

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

You can buy most artifacts with Galaxy Points. The green "Buy Artifact" button is near the top of the Trade page.

You can accumulate artifact points from the planets that you own, and trade them in for an artifact shipment. This is also done on the trade page. Common artifacts cost from 200-350 artifact points, uncommon artifacts cost 500-900 points, and rare artifacts will run you 1000-2000 points. Note that you cannot get an artifact that costs more than your total points at the time you accept a shipment, and you also are not guaranteed to get the highest level artifact you can afford. However, you will also not waste points if you do not get the best you can afford. If you have 2000 artifact points accumulated and draw a flux probe, only 250 points will be deducted, leaving you with 1750 artifact points (and a mild case of frustration).

You have a small chance to get artifacts from certain missions. (They will state chance of an artifact and the rarity of the artifact) Also, certain missions automatically give artifacts on completion.

Certain NPCs drop artifacts when defeated. If the NPC was shared to legion members, artifacts will only be given to the top few players that dealt the most damage.

Discontinued Artifacts

The following artifacts are no longer available via Artifact drops. Some players may still have these artifacts in their cargo holds and they will continue to work as intended if used.

Artifact	Effect
Alien Star Charts	Reveals a random planet that you have not yet discovered. Existing copies of the artifact will still function.
Omicron Net	Completely ensnares your target, preventing them from attacking or being attacked for 4 hours. NOTE: This Artifact was phased out as part of the January 2011 update. It no longer drops from artifact rewards, however any Nets owned by players will continue to work for the time being. The developers plan to eventually phase this artifact out of the game completely.
Radiant Weapons Locker	A locker that contains a technologically advanced piece of weaponry, based on your rank at time of activation. Existing copies of the artifact will still function as originally intended.

Dyson Transformer	Turns any Metallic planet into a Dyson Sphere. Requires 50 energy to use. All Resources will increase to 28x Mega Rich, the planet will increase to Colossal size, and it will gain 10,000 Passive Attack, Defense, and Cloak. Note 1: Use the Dyson Transformer on the smallest, resource-poorest metallic planet you can find for best effect. The Dyson created will get the above stats no matter what its stats were before; whether it's Tiny and Sparse or Colossal and Mega-Rich, it will always become a Colossal 28x Mega Rich Dyson. Note 2: The passive Attack, Defense, and Cloaking stats were added in the Christmas 2010 update. If you used the Dyson Transformer before then, contact the developers to have the passive bonuses added to your planet. Only the original creator of the planet can request the passive bonuses be added; the developers will NOT add the bonuses to planets that have been invaded. Note 3: Any existing passive bonuses that the planet has before it is Dyson transformed will be retained on top of the +10,000 passive attack, defense, and cloaking bonuses, making the planet even better. It will also receive legion bonus stats just like all of your other planets, meaning the planets total attack, defense and cloak bonuses can each be well over 20,000.	The Colossal Project	1

Hyper-Terraformer Device	Transforms a planet into an Exotic World, and boosts its passive defenses significantly. (All Resources = 13x Mega Rich, Size = Massive, Passive Attack/Defense/Cloak = 10,000) Note 1: if the planet is already larger than Massive, the planet will actually shrink in size. Note 2: The Exotic created will get these stats no matter what its stats were before, whether it's a Tiny, Sparse, Barren planet or a Colossal, Mega-Rich Oceanic. It is therefore best to use the Hyper-Terraformer on your WORST colonised planet to get the biggest benefit. Note 3: The passive Attack, Defense, and Cloaking stats were added in the Christmas 2010 update. If you used the Hyper-Terraformer before then, contact the developers to have the passive bonuses added to your planet. Only the original creator of the planet can request the passive bonuses be added; the developers will NOT add the bonuses to planets that have been invaded. Note 4: Any existing passive bonuses that a planet has before it is Hyper-terraformed will be retained on top of the +10,000 Passive attack, defense, and cloaking bonuses, making the planet even better. It will also receive legion bonus stats just like all of your other planets, meaning the planets total attack, defense and cloak bonuses can each be well over 20,000.	The Terra Project	1

¹ Glaviz Device Warning From Player! I have used two of the Glaviz Devices. If used and you have more than 80 energy your risk loosing most if not all of that energy. If used when you have 0 energy it will fill you up to at lease 80 if not more energy.

¹ Mining enhancement is limited to 15X Mega Rich. Note that it is possible to find planets with greater than 15X Mega Rich bonuses, however, you cannot use Mining enhancements on such planets. Similarly, some artifacts have restrictions on the level that they can enhance up to (for example, Gift of the Elements can only go up to 5X Mega Rich). Be careful not to exceed these and waste a valuable artifact!
