GellonSW Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Can anyone recommend an ideal area to run around for these (sacred artifact)? I spent about 2 hours on Taris last night just running around and I've gotten a good amount of crystals (and other mats) but barely any artifacts (ratio seems to be every 10 crystal nodes 1 artifact). There seemed to be better balance on Grade 1 mats back on Coruscant. On the GTN I also dont see them on sale either so I'm assuming they must be super rare for some reason? Thanks.

TheRealBowser Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't know. I find artifacts okay. That said, I have an overabundance of power and color crystals, while I often have a lack of artifacts. Furthermore, my artifacts sell more on the auction house than the others. My advice is to use crew skills if you are low on artifact fragments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GellonSW Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks. I'm actually trying to avoid having to waste credits on something I can harvest (assuming I can find a good spot) and instead use the missions on the blue mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roizel Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Yes use crew skill archeology and send them to collect on missions that give artifacts as rewards. In top right corner of open crew skill as you level you can chose which grade to go after, i.e. lvl 1,2 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to 'waste' money, only do bountiful and rich artifact missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightspeed Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks. I'm actually trying to avoid having to waste credits on something I can harvest (assuming I can find a good spot) and instead use the missions on the blue mats. I feel your pain. The devs kept saying you should harvest all you need. But they made a big goof with archealogy. There are too many different types of nodes so it really waters down the results Archealogy has 1. power crystal nodes 2. color crystal nodes which can be red/blue/green 3. artifact nodes. That means at any given repop you can get one of 5 nodes where as most gathering skills you only have ONE node that repops and then you can get random things from that one repop. So we're screwed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
