Notes[edit]
- Like most reward trophies, Ancient Artifacts can neither be sold to merchants nor be salvaged, but they can be traded.
- The faster rate for converting these directly to gold is purchasing and selling superior salvage kits, which will pay out 200 per Ancient Artifact (1 per kit, 1 kit per 5 Ancient Artifacts). Keeping and using the kits may be even more profitable, since each one saves you 4 expert salvage kits, at a cost of 1600 total or, that is, 320 each. In any case, it's in one's best interest to not sell them to other players for less than 200 each, as doing so wouldn't be acquiring the full value of the item.
- Completing all the above quests, you can obtain a maximum of 16 Ancient Artifacts (there are two mutually exclusive quests).
Trivia[edit]
- The icon of this item strongly resembles a miniature version of the Statue of Grenth
