GoA news said:What becomes of artefacts in version 1.81
Those who have consulted the release notes for 1.81 on the Camelot Herald already know that artifacts will be directly obtained from the sages, and not during the encounter itself. You will only need to validate the encounter and obtain the corresponding scrolls to receive the artifact activated at level 0 in exchange.
Unactivated artifacts that you can presently obtain, and which are often vaulted or sold on a consignment merchant, will thus be useless. In order not to penalize the players who were selling artifacts on the US servers, Mythic had created a system to calculate the average price of these artefacts, based on player prices just before the release of the new version. Therefore, since 1.81 they can sell these useless artifacts they had stocked at this average price. This system was of course only possible because the American players had not been informed beforehand of the artifact system changes. Some players seem to think that this will be applied on the European servers too, so they are currently selling their artifacts at very high prices, hoping to artificially increase the average price, and are trying to acquire a lot of them.
Therefore we want to inform you that we will not apply the same system as the US servers, and that it is useless to try and get as many artifacts as possible, and to put them on sale at enormous prices.
Dear GoA,
Since artifacts will not be returned for the same value as in the US, Can you let me know if i should keep the current artifacts, because they will be usefull for me ( e.g. artifacts book exchange, free levels etc). If not i will put them on my CM for a decent price so that others can use them.
PS I was currently selling my artifacts at a high price not to artificially inflate the price, but to stop those noobs from buying them cheap in the hope of getting more plat for them on the NPC's (if you were going to exchange them for plat).
