Hi ,
So, artifacts also give double points?

Is it reality or a myth?
When is the Double Refinement weekend supposed to be happening?
Sep 12th according to the ingame calendar
I don't even know what those "raven" artifacts are . . .

Pvp artifact of power for 24k glory.
We still need to finish the contest for the event to happen but it's likely.
The one you buy for 24k glory. They are excellent for leveling up your power artifacts since you get already get almost double the rewards from them without the event due to how artifacts work when refining with other artifacts.
Edit: You can get the 40k artifacts from IWD too for the other artifact types and are essentially "free" if you pvp a lot.
619,600 RP points if used in another Power artifact. However, it is better as lv 54 instead of lv 59 IMO.
Yes, but the Raven is only Rank 1 when you get it. It only gives a few thousand RP, as I used it with one of my characters. It is BoP to Character, so you cannot send it from 10 Alts to your Main, and you can only stack 50,000 Glory, so you'd have to buy them with the character you want to use them on.
If you have already upgraded the Raven skull, it is useful to use for another artifact of Power though. I used the one my Main Battle Celric had to upgrade the Dragonborn one. I wish I had saved it for the DRP weekend, now.
Yea. I had upgraded my Raven Skull to level 72, and then I got that nice artifact included in the Dragonborn pack....it is really tempting to upgrade that - maybe not cost-effective, but if I have a lvl 72 artifact lying around, why not use it....
Then there is the question of what to do with those spare Eyes of Lathander artifacts I have lying around - upgrade them to 59 and use them to upgrade one of my other artifacts?
Oh good grief, I wince at the sight of those now. I farmed so many to raise a Vanguard artifact to orange.. gnnh.

Well, you can do domination matches every now and then instead. Personally I hate PvP - the worst aspect of the game IMO, but I spent 4 days doing pretty much nothing else, just to make enough Glory to get that artifact. However, if your daily play time is limited, you can spread it out over a much longer period.
Probably though they changed it so that you need 1 of the same ranked grommet/whatever as a reagent now which sucks.
I dislike it too. Too many imbalances. I've done it to farm pvp stuff though, plus trying to get 9 artifacts for double rp weekend. 3 down, 6 to go.
Yes this was possibly the reason for the stealth change.
Sadly it seems you waste far too many RP points now leveling up from Rank 1->2->3 so you can't just use Blueprints. Overall even with Double RP bonus making Doohickeys is still going to be far more expensive than it was during the event.
Oh my god, what? I had one sprocket left and a stack of blueprints I bought, sufficient to make one more doohickey, but I was waiting til I looted enough ore for reagents and I've been too busy to spend any game time node farming in Blacklake.
This was all meant to be for personal use, not selling, and I don't have enough to make all those intermediate stage things. *Cries.*

I don't see how are the pvp artifacts "free". First, you need to get 24k and 40k glory to buy them but glory can be used to buy other stuff that you can use, salvage for rough AD or sell for AD.
Then the artifacts come at rank 1. When you get them to rank 59, you can get like 600k+ rp from each of them if used on the same type of artifact. However, it also takes almost 300k rp to upgrade a rank 1 artifact to rank 59, which translates to over 2 AD per rp, in line with the enchantment process by way of pearls, peridots, etc.
It is not free and any cheaper than normal enchantment.
Well I've personally never bought enchants to refine my artifacts (just used the stuff that dropped...IWD drops them like candy) and I reach the refining limit daily if I try to without the pvp equipment, so its free for me
It won't matter if you think getting all your refinement stones and enchantments from drop is free since if you use the same free stuff from mob or chest drops to enchant an artifact instead of using the drops to enchant a pvp artifact then use that artifact to enchant your targeted artifact, you get about the same bang of the buck effect.
Me too. I've got 2 ravens, and one spare banner in the bank, plus a whole bunch of marks and fey blessings. With a bit of luck, all my artifacts will be orange.
What do you mean 2 AD per rp? The only AD you pay is if you buy the enchants and then you double the rp. If you buy enchants for 1 rp/ad, using an artifact of the same type will up that to 2rp/ad (or 0.5ad/rp), if you pay 2 rp/ad, it effectively translates to 4rp/ad. With the upcoming double rp you should get 4rp/ad instead of 1rp/ad. Of course time is still needed to get the artifacts. If you have a low gs or suck, then it might be more painful. Though farming gg can still net results.
If everybody can buy enchantments for 1 rp per ad don't you think they will just do that instead of buying pearls or peridots for 1 rp per 2+ ad? There are just not many 1 rp per ad enchantments put up for sale. Check the AH and see are there 30k rank 1 or 10k enchantments up there? Even if so, they are only enough for one person to upgrade a rank 1 artifact to rank 59.
I got 3-4 million rp for less than 1ad/rp (well tbh some of it was a little over, but most was under) and plan to quadruple a lot of that for one of my toons to get 3 legendaries using bloodcrytals. The thing is whatever you use, whether it be enchantments or peridots you double that rate using artifacts of the same type at 59
If you use 587 peridots needed to reach l59, you'll get the equivalent of 1239 peridots in rp. It's always going to be cheaper if you have the glory on you for the artifact since you're getting bonus rp. You can't lose ad or match it unless you use a high end purple one for rp, you're increasing your investment no matter what and the rate at 59 is twice as efficient as what you put in. The factors that reduce the efficiency is reagent cost which is minor below level 59 and the time to get the glory.
I don't question the double refinement event. Double is always better than single. I am happy with that.
If you either have the luck to get all those people selling enchantments to you for 1 ad per or the time to sit at AH for who knows how long to get 3-4 million rp worth of enchants, good for you but I don't think most players have that cheap offers or the patience to stare at the AH like a job especially in a action based game.
