Legion Artifact, also known as Union Artifact, is a system introduced in the Dreamer / GO WEST! Update, that complements the Legion System and replaces Monster Life. The system allows characters to level up Crystals (also known as Artifacts) which give various stats to all characters within the world.

In order to obtain and level up Crystals, characters need to complete missions and obtain Artifact EXP and Artifact Points. There are three types of missions:

  • Normal missions
    • These missions reset weekly, and require the player to defeat a certain number of monsters within level range, or log in for a certain number of days. The missions reward an equal amount of Artifact EXP and Artifact Points.
  • Boss missions
    • These missions reset weekly. The player will be rewarded an equal amount of Artifact EXP and Artifact Points based on the difficulty of the 3 hardest weekly bosses they defeated in that week.
  • Special missions
    • These missions can be completed only once per world, and reward players with only Artifact EXP. The missions are a mix of challenges including reaching certain ranks in Legion System, completing area quests, defeating bosses for the first time, acquiring medals, and more.

There are four attributes related to Legion Artifact:

  • Artifact Level is the current Legion Artifact level. Crystals are unlocked as you level up.
  • Artifact EXP is used to increase your Artifact Level.
  • Artifact AP is used to level up Crystals, which will boost the stats on each Crystal. AP is rewarded when reaching a new Artifact Level.
  • Artifact Points are used change and extend the duration of a Crystal's stats, and to reset all assigned Artifact AP.

Leveling and Gaining Crystals

By default, players are given 3 Artifact Crystals. In order to gain more Crystals, the player must obtain enough Artifact EXP to increase their Artifact Level. At Artifact level 1, the player can assign up to 3 Artifacts. At level 10 and every 10 levels after, the player can assign an additional artifact, up to a maximum of 9 artifacts at level 60.

Upon the closure of Monster Life, players will be able to exchange 20 Monster Life farm EXP for 1 Artifact EXP. The exchanged EXP is applied per world only.

Crystal Stats

Crystals grant three lines of stats. To improve these stats, players can level up each Crystal up to Level 5 by expending Artifact AP. There are a total of 16 stats:

  • All Stats: up to +150
  • Max HP and MP: up to +7500
  • Attack and Magic Attack: up to +30
  • Damage: up to +15%
  • Damage to Bosses: up to +15%
  • Ignore enemy Defense: up to 20%
  • Buff duration: up to +20%
  • Chance to skip cooldown: up to +7.5%
  • Mesos obtained: up to +12%
  • Item drop rate: up to 12%
  • Critical rate: up to 20%
  • Critical damage: up to 4%
  • +1 targets hit when using multi-target skills and EXP acquired: up to 12%
  • Status resistance: up to +12
  • Summoned minion duration: up to +20%
  • Damage of Final Attack Skills: up to +30%

The following skills count as Final Attack Skills:

Similar to how HEXA Stats work, the player may assign up to 3 stats of their choice to be increased by a Crystal, and the player is not allowed to apply the same stat more than once on the same Crystal.

Artifact AP is awarded to the player when increasing their Crystal's level, and reaching the maximum Crystal level of 60 will allow the player to increase all 9 assigned crystals to level 5. Similar to how Boost Nodes work in 5th job, the total levels of the stats on the player's crystals will be added up to determine the boost effect for that stat, up to a maximum of level 10. The stat bonuses provided by crystals are as listed above.

Managing Crystal Stats

The stats assigned to each crystal may be changed at any time by consuming a small amount of Artifact points. Crystals expire 30 days after being obtained, and can be reactivated or extended for another 30 days by consuming Artifact Points. An expired crystal will have its stat bonuses deactivated. The player will not lose the crystal or need to level it up again, it will be restored to its original state upon reactivation.
