Lost Artifact is a type of Artifact.

Summary[ | ]

Lost Artifact is one of several types of Artifacts and it is a reward for opening Large Artifact Crates found in Ancient Ruins, completing missions (for example The Overseer's Tour repeatable mission), or completing exploration type expeditions with frigates.

Game description[ | ]

These are the possible game descriptions for Lost Artifact. One of the following is randomly chosen when an artifact is procedurally generated.

The sequence is taken from the game file.

Common[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXX years old.
    Past its prime long before it was entombed, this tool was well-loved during its useful life. A family memento, perhaps, or a novice's training instrument?
  2. Approximately XXX years old.
    A remarkable find. All the moreso for the fact the handle appears to be stained with a great quantity of organic matter...
  3. Approximately XXX years old.
    A pair of short words have been crudely engraved onto the surface of this tool. The owner's name, perhaps, or even the name of the object itself?
  4. Approximately XXX years old.
    This tool bears all the hallmarks of having been repaired several times over. Scorched in places from melting and reforging, its split materials bear witness to its long and hard life.
  5. Approximately XXX years old.
    While this piece is clearly ancient, it is remarkable just how little it differs from the style used every day in the present age.

Uncommon[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXX-XXXX years old.
    Buried alongside its schematic, this remarkable tool was perhaps an original prototype. More than just an object, this find represents the inventive drive in a raw and early form.
  2. Approximately XXX-XXXX years old.
    Covered in burn marks, this tool must have seen a very strange life. But buried beneath the earth, it has drifted so far from its original story that we may never know its true purpose.
  3. Approximately XXXX years old.
    Delicately made, the passing of time cannot hide the delicacy with which this tool was made. Possibly one of the finest examples of its type ever seen.

Rare[ | ]

  1. Approximately XXXX years old.
    Buried with great care, this tool shows little sign of use. Perhaps it was an offering, made especially to be locked away from the physical world, its pristine nature emphasising how much this gesture meant to the burier.
  2. Approximately XXXX years old.
    This tool bears the marks of constant use, a well-loved piece before its burial. Was it consigned to the ground by accident? An afterthought? Or placed there carefully alongside a now departed owner?
  3. Approximately XXXX years old.
    Bejewelled and dazzling, this tool has been decorated with countless precious stones. Augmented and audacious, this is a one-of-a-kind piece.

Modifier and value ranges[ | ]
