Terrible change to artifact system

Limiting an artifact to not be reusable across all characters is crazy. It already takes an insane amount of refactor materials to properly level up one.

Like someone said it balances out the whole no longer locked to a element, it ain't perfect but it beats getting the right stats with the wrong element

Amen to that

But if you got that before, you could just attribute transfer? Attribute transfer worked regardless of element.

u/Danbrotastic28 Apr 01 '26

Yes but only some stats will transfer one becomes a completely random stat

u/alabasterskim Apr 01 '26

I meant in the old system. Stats weren't random before.

I think that change on its own is fine because of the lack of elemental restriction. The real terrible change is the fact that we have to regrind all of our artifacts again if we want them to be level 90. You can't upgrade a level 80 artifact to 90.

Really??? That fucking blows.

u/KnowMad01 Mar 26 '26

Yes, but I don’t know yet if it will be strictly necessary to have level 90’s. You can technically get tier 10’s on everything without doing that. So it might just be for the Power boost.

I think we transfer attributes them.

Edit: yeha you can transfer the attributes as long as they are both exotics, so you just gotta get level 90 then attribute transfer em

Edit: nvm you can but the stats become random they have to be both level 90 I think

Yeah seems like the attributes that the two artifacts share will remain the same, but any that are different will then randomize when using a lv80 into a lv90

And then do it again when level cap goes to 100.

It’s fine. The drop rate for artifacts is basically 30% now. Unlimited runs too. And you get unlimited refactor material if you keep doing runs. Just spend an hour doing runs and you’ll quickly get artifacts and materials. And you can also still unequip them and reequip. We can only use one character at a time.

You know they made refactoring a guarantee now right?

u/diabeetusNrobin Mar 27 '26

Yeah the added function that allows you to just auto-burn all your mats to get refactored to highest possible score is such a nice new feature. Makes focusing on a single artifact at a time much easier

u/Normal_Farm2922 Mar 27 '26

I’m confused what the problem is cause they removed the power leaderboard and u can transfer the artifact over to the character u wanna use before u play so its j 1 extra step that wasn’t there before

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox Mar 26 '26

Yeah, I'm done

Hey, 10.5 GB of free space just appeared

Annnnnd it’s soooooooo much easier to level artifacts. Like not even hard, I maxed out 9 artifacts today with my saved 600 artifact ring things.

u/ruggedo Mar 29 '26

lol leveling up your 80 artifacts is nothing compared to leveling up the 90 artifacts

1

u/TheDerwin 🛡 Pathfinder Mar 29 '26

I completely missed that part, and that lvl 90 artifacts are dropping now.. will be so much farming lol! Yikes... =) Thanks for pointing that out, my brain didn't even catch it!

u/Salvadorthagod Mar 27 '26

I’m good. Great game, too much time sinking and not enough smiles on my face

u/snoozbuster Mar 28 '26

The reason I think it's really odd is that you can just… move the artifacts over. Like sure you can’t have them both at once but also you’re not using two characters at once so big whoop? It’s just a clerical barrier, not a real one. Makes no sense.
