I don't know if this is true, but I get the sense that it's become harder to craft better quality artefacts. Nearly all of the artefacts that I've kept, are ones that I crafted during the first two weeks of the Museum... Most of the artefacts that I'm crafting now come with worse stats (it feels like there's less chance of getting 6% or 11% now).

Random bad luck? Or anybody else suffering the same?

BUT... on the plus side, another thing has changed. It feels like Nexon increased our chances of being offered 'museum supplies' expeditions at the Dock. I'm seeing pretty much 1 of the 3 Dock options always brings back museum supplies now. That's awesome. THANKS GUYS!! You're obviously listening to the feedbacks here and on Reddit.

OH!!... and another thing... I meant to write this weeks ago, but real life got in the way and I forgot. Thanks for regularly putting out events where what players do builds up to some sort of charitable donation from Nexon to worthy causes. I've no idea what proportion of your revenues these donations amount to, but the bottom line is you don't have to do it, so it's really cool that you do...

Keep up the great work. Keep creating. Keep listening. Keep improving... And thanks for helping others less fortunate too...

:)

To me it feels like the rate of 6 and 11% went down within a few weeks of museum launch. No evidence, just a hunch 😁

Unfortunately I can't comment how well the odds have dropped and I don't know if the level of the museum automatically drops the success the getting decent items but I've never had anything good, merely ok. I have almost maxed museum, just under 7 I believe whatever the atomic one is just so I can have 2 slots for every item. Every slot is filled with a 11% items and that's it. All the items I have crafted have never had anything good/worthy of upgrading to level 2. For example, on jewels I have (2) Resource looted 11% on line one than line 2 is mortar 1%. That's been every item for whatever slot, whether armor, weapon, pottery. I've crafted many lvl 2 items but they're always, always 1%, 1% and it has definitely slowed me down because not seeing anything that actually makes me decide whether or not to keep just sucks the energy away. I think I have over 3k supplies which is more than some but not that much comparatively because I think maxed docks give less supplies. Haven't crunched the numbers but level 7 dock is the best level to get supplies via expeditions. It combines level 6 and 7 expeditions and theres quite a few that give you supplies. We have industrial players that have more supplies than I do and they have upgraded jewels to level 4 from level 1. Maybe the lower the age of the base, the better the chances are but there's no percentages out there. People used their own experiences as the numbers but we don't have comparisons per age of base.

If the lower age players have a chance of getting better options from crafting and better returns from their docks than higher players, that would mean Nexon is doing something to help lower players progress!
SHOCK! HORROR! :eek:

Ps: I have no problem with lower ages getting a little extra help, I think most AA and CW players would feel the same, yes?

I still get 2 stars, 6s and 11s selections, but my needs now is incredibly narrow. I used to keep several in my collection just in case but at the end of the day I ended up only displaying the ones from the first few weeks.

Most of of the time I just ignore many 6s and 11s anyway. 20% extra time for enemies spawning time add 1 extra second. Forest refund? I’ve done most to benefit from them. Extra vault capacity and/or interest? I’m getting 75% extra oil loot I wouldn’t even blink with a couple hundreds more gain in 24 hrs.

Everyone is different for me the area I care about is all resources loot increase, fighter damage, defenders damage, invading fighters damage(I’ve attacked a base with this fully on and was impressive how little 5 of my max out fighters could do. The one I wish I had pursued was the looted resources refund. I heard about someone can get 101% refunded. That’s kinda cool.

I just got this today 11s and 6s, just not what I needed

I really don't think it's any harder. I just think it's going to be increasingly difficult to beat those we've culled from all the offerings and that we've already increased by upgrading.

I picked up a new armor about a week ago that I swapped in (11/6/6/11/1) and I held onto a weapon artifact just the other day (6/6/6/1/1). I may not use it, but the 6/6/6's match my standard raid army, so I'm going to hold onto it for a bit. My current second weapon artifact gave me a starting 11% boost to fighter hitpoints, so I've been using it, but the rest of the levels are lackluster, even though the categories are all useable. I'll probably swap it out when I get something I like better.

I have both IA and CWA accounts and can definitely say that the IA account gets better deals on the artifacts. I have 15 good ones there but I am struggling to equip my fully upgraded CWA museum with decent displays.

To be fair, your CWA account doesn't need boosting as much as your IA does.

TinSoldier, Hi Greg! We know you guys are super busy but please could you officially end a couple of conspiracy theories...

1. Did the chances of getting 11% and 6% artefacts change since the Museum was launched? Several players seem to think it's harder to get the good stuff. Be nice to have it officially confirmed that Nexon haven't/aren't going to change the probabilities there...

2. Is it actually true that lower level accounts are easier to win better Museum artefacts? There's a widely held belief across the forum that lower era (eg. industrial) players have a higher chance of crafting 11% or 6% artefacts than higher era (eg. cold war) players. I can see why that might appear attractive to Nexon, to grow the new(er) player base, on the assumption that higher level players don't want/need any extra benefits.

But at the same time, I'm not convinced that Nexon would 'fix' a random benefit to be more attractive to only a less active subset of its player base. Please could you confirm or deny? Given that fully upgraded Museum artefacts deliver upto +20% on each of five factors, it becomes worth dumping/selling a CWA account, to restart in a lower era, if this rumor is true...

Thanks for your clarifications :)

definitely seeing diminished returns

yea significantly low chance to get 6 or 11%, i only craft to destroy what i crafted now for blueprints, i never get a decent artificat anymore

I have just spent over 4K fragments in one go crafting artefacts on my CWA account. Not a single keeper.

Had some pretty interesting artifacts in the last couple days. Nothing amazing but a few that made me think, and was able to upgrade one I’d been holding for awhile. Definitely been seeing better stuff on average than I have for awhile. Maybe they are listening or maybe I’m just crazy 🙃
