Talk:Priceless Artifact/@comment-70.234.1.55-20131203014541

For people having difficulty getting these from mining (like I was), I discovered what I assume must be some kind of glitch. I was sick of not getting any and having to wait for the mining spots to repopulatem, so I saved the game and started Godsbaning ( <-- Is that a word? lol). Anyway, I decided to do this after I had already mined a couple copper ores out of one of the spots. Next go after saving, I got a rock, so stabbed myself and reloaded. Instead of just getting one chance at the Artifact again, it seems like he ore vein had completely reset.

So, I got an Artifact after two hits with the pickaxe this time, saved and kept going. Everytime I would Godsbane and reload, the vein had reset, and I could keep going. I walked out of the Watergod's Altar after 20 minutes, and I was overencumbered (playing solo) with a sampling of various ores and 14 Priceless Artifacts, all out of the single mining spot in the room with the Saurians, right before where the lever is located. I don't know if this is a repeatable glitch on anyone else's game, but it may be worth a shot if these things are being a bitch for you to get in your game, too.
