1.4007 Artifact guide[]
- Because the artifacts follow a fairly simply pattern, they can be categorized into 4 tiers based on how strong their parameters are.
- Tier 1 artifacts have the weakest effect in their respective type, increase your radiation by 1 and have a base price of 2000 RU
- Tier 2 artifacts have a moderate effect in their respective type, increase your radiation by 2 and have a base price of 4250 RU
- Tier 3 artifacts have a strong effect in their respective type, increase your radiation by 3 and have a base price of 7500 RU
- Tier 4 artifacts have the strongest effect in their respective type, increase your radiation by 4 and have a base price of 10000 RU
- * Rad.protection and Radiation type artifacts do not increase your radiation, because their whole purpose is to decrease/protect against, thus it would not make sense
- ** Certain artifact types not only increase radiation as a negative effect, but hunger as well
- Besides using them artifacts can be sold or used in the artifact merger to create different ones. To know which one can be sold and which one might be needed for merger certain artifact recipes have a number that indicate in which recipe they are in.
- Crystal
- Pupil
- Mercury ball
- Gold beads
- Discharge
- Brown beads

(the first four remove a negative effect, the next two affect movement, the next three protect against attack and the remaining protect from environmental hazards - though there are attacks making telepathy, impact and burn damage)
There are some additional, unique and quest artifacts that do not fit into the table. These are the Purple Beads (Supernova), Generator, Hell, Levitron, Compass, Psi-zone Heart (The heart of the psi-zone), Charged Compass, Charged Goldfish, Blue Parasite and Green Parasite.
