Artifacts are a type of item that equip directly to individual characters. Each provides four different effects to its equipper, who must be of an element and weapon specialty matching that particular artifact's requirements.
Artifacts will drop at a set drop rate upon clearing raid battles, excluding event raid battles.
Be aware that any actions taken regarding artifacts, including leveling or skill changes, can't be rolled back.
The pool of standard artifact skills are divided into 3 different groups: I, II, and III. Of the four skill slots an artifact has, two are for I skills, one is for II skills, and the last is for III skills.
The exact skill in each slot is determined randomly when the artifact is obtained.
For skills that affect characters other than just the equipper, only the highest value will apply in cases where multiple of the same effect would be active.
(In certain special quests with, for example, restrictions on weapon skills, artifact skills will also not function except for the two flat ATK and HP skills.)
Skills with the maximum possible effect are shown as a different color.
Artifact Skill Lvl
Standard artifact skills have a skill level, which improves the value of its boost when raised. The particular value and how much it improves by vary depending on the skill.
If a skill is changed using either of these items, the new skill will be at level 1, regardless of what that skill slot's level was previously.
Once this action has been taken, the other three skill slots will be locked, but the initially selected slot can be changed multiple times if additional treasure is spent.
Enigmatic Armilla
This item can be used to change one of an artifact's four skills to a random skill appropriate for that slot.
When used, you will be given the option to choose between two newly rolled skills, or leave the skill unchanged.
It is possible for a reroll option to be the same as the current skill, but with a potentially different value.
Even if the skill is left unchanged, be aware that the enigmatic armilla will still be consumed.
Theorem Chisel
This item can be used to change one of an artifact's four skills to any other skill, appropriate for that slot, of your choosing.
If a skill with multiple possible effect rates is chosen, the highest rates will be used for the changed skill.
Artifact Requirements
In order to equip an artifact, a character must have the correct element and weapon specialty for that artifact. The weapon specialty requirement is generally based on the specific artifact, while the element is determined randomly when obtained.
Characters, such as Lyria (Event), whose element changes based on the main character's, can equip artifacts of any element.
Empowering Artifacts
The level an artifact itself can be raised using weapons or power-up items like Lazuline Vessel. The EXP gained is unaffected by boosts such as crew buffs, journey drops, or elemental upgrade skills, and it can't get a grand success.
For each level an artifact gains, a random one of its four skills will also have its level increased by one.
It is possible to reset the level of an artifact using Artifact Pith ×5, which will also reset its skills' levels.

Skysent Beacon
Skysent Beacon boosts the drop rate to 30%-40% for the first 50 artifact drops each week.[1]
Note: All weekly drop rate bonuses are reset every Monday at 5 a.m. (JST).
Artifact Scores
An artifact's skill effects are split into three groups, ATK, DEF, and Special, with the total being the sum of each category's base value.
How big or small an effect's score is depends on each skill group's base value, and doesn't change regardless of the skill's details or level.
Filtering by Score
Score can be added as filter criteria on the Artifacts screen.
Artifact order can be rearranged based on each category's score or the total score.
About Quirk Artifacts
Quirk artifacts are extremely rare artifacts with special, oddball effects.
Quirk artifacts have the following quirks:
They come maxed out at level 1, and cannot be upgraded
All 4 skills are predetermined and can't be changed
The weapon specialty and element requirement are both random
Requirements can be rerolled by using treasure
Changing Quirk Artifact Requirements
Quirk artifact requirements can be rerolled by using Enigmatic Armilla. When rerolled, you will be given the option to choose between two sets of new requirements, or to leave the requirements unchanged.
Even if the requirements are left unchanged, be aware that the treasure will still be consumed.
Both elemental and weapon specialty requirements will be changed (these cannot be changed individually).
Artifact Drop Rate and Element Bias
The base drop rate of artifacts from raids is about 1%.[1][2]
Artifacts drop independently from a boss's normal loot table. Thus, artifact drops do not affect the odds of Reward Chests and their contents.
Skysent Beacon boosts the drop rate to 30%-40% for the first 50 artifact drops each week.[1]
An artifact's element requirement has a 50% chance to match the element of the boss that it drops from and a 10% chance for each other element.[1][2]
Non-elemental bosses drop artifacts with an equal chance for each element.[3]
