The new Artifact economy is live.

Artifact mining is back to its original flat rate, with visible Lifetime MST. Your rate no longer falls every second.

This Epic Seed mines 16 MST/day and has 463 of 1,600 Lifetime MST left. Lifetime MST falls only while MST accrues. At zero Left, mining stops and the Artifact becomes a Relic that stays in your inventory.

Why this change:

• Output is clear and predictable. • One Artifact can no longer print MST forever. • After its Lifetime MST is exhausted, new mining output comes from crafting again. • Every crafted Artifact can mine more MST over its life than its element value. Higher rarity increases that multiple.

Past mining counts, so some older Artifacts may already be Relics. Claimed and stored MST remain yours. The 7-day storage rule is unchanged. Paused mining spends no Lifetime MST.

For now, a Relic is an Artifact that has completed mining. We are exploring future uses and will share more when ready.

Craft. Mine. Keep.
