Common Artifacts
Common artifacts are artifacts that can be acquired through cashing in your hourly artifact hauls from planets. Save up your hourly artifact hauls if you want a chance to get more expensive artifacts. A maximum of 500 artifacts can be received in a single pull. Your pull will also be interrupted if your Cargo capacity is reached.
Minimum scrap value in credits for each common artifact is 5x the Artifact Points Cost.
Maximum scrap value in credits for each common artifact is 20x the Artifact Points Cost
Note that scrapping the Alien Data Disc does not make sense once you have unlocked the Research Contract. Using the contract, the 700 research points converts to 17.5 million credits.
The minimum price for sendable common artifacts on the Galactic Trading Center is 10,000 credits.
