Artifact XP in 1.71

[[NO]Magmatic]

As of 1.71, the artifact XP changes. All of them get different requirements. This is good news, as it makes a couple of artifacts a lot easier to level.

However, this line in the patch notes confuses me:

In addition, all artifacts can now earn experience from player versus player kills

All artifacts already gained XP in rvr, but does this now mean that all artifacts gain XP at the speed which, for example, a battler / tartaros currently gains levels?

This would be extremely good news...

Can someone give a better explanation?

Well, I think most artifacts gain xp from rvr as it is (very little though, as you know) but there are a few exceptions aren't there? Hence they now state that all artifacts will gain rvr xp.
Might of course be that they increase the xp gain aswell, which would be rather lovely

Reading the full line shows what the "now" in the quote is pointing at:

In addition, all artifacts can now earn experience from player versus player kills and from killing monsters in the Frontier zones (including Passage of Conflict and Summoner's Hall).

About the speed of the artifacts that only gained XP from RvR so far:

Artifacts which previously earned experience only from player kills will no longer level at an accelerated rate. This change was made because these artifacts have been changed to use one of the six new leveling requirements, allowing players more options to earn experience for these artifacts. The artifacts affected are: the Band of Stars, Battler, the Ceremonial Bracers, the Crown of Zahur, the Fool's Bow, Scepter of the Meritorious, Snatcher, and Tartaros Gift.

So no artifact xps faster ( except Ring of Dances, Alvarus' Leggings, and a Healer's Embrace; mentioned in next paragraphs) - actually the lvling speed of the rvr-artis was nerfed.

leggs only go to %100 speed in water, think was explanation of why it cant go 200% on herald somewhere, unless it changed.

Well what confused me was that all artifacts already gained XP in rvr, very slowly, so it was never an option for them...

Guess its still not an option to level artifacts in RvR, sucks... But a pbaoe group in fronteirs area would probably do nicely at leveling them all... There are some decent camps hidden through out the fronteir...

According to this site, DF is considered a classic dungeon:
