Artifact Coordinates
Arti-coords are simple to get your hands on, just go to Quorx's arty patterns and use
the pattern generator. Make sure to generate patterns for the right radar size, and
for the US server. (EU artifacts spawn differently)
so, how to use the patterns?
A pattern is a series of coordinates in the sector, and if you travel from the first
coordinate to the second and so on, until you reach the first cords again, you will
have covered a large part of the volume of space that the artifact might have
spawned within, with your radar. (A huge hollow sphere) How much of this volume
you covered, is listed for each pattern in the generator, usually 80% or more is
enough, as long as you keep a more thorough pattern at hand, if the artifact
happens to spawn outside those 80%
You follow the pattern by equipping a rotacol, and heading out to the sector you
want to hunt in. then type "/rotacol x.xx y.yy z.zz".
Now search through the available radar targets, and you will find one named
"rotacol", that’s the spot. Head out to within 1km of it, and type the coordinates for
the next point in the pattern, and go for it. Repeat this until you find an artifact or
reach node 1 again.
As soon as you travel one whole lap on the pattern without seeing a single artifact,
you should change to a pattern with more points in it, thus having greater volume
coverage.
Once you find that arty, you can revert to your first pattern again.
Remember that its the "legs" of the arty pattern that is important, not the end
points, so unless you have traveled all the legs, even if you have visited all the
points, you wont have searched through all of the pattern.
(For example, you are done with a 4 point pattern when you have traveled in a
straight line between points 1 and 2, AND 2 and 3, AND 3 and 4, AND 4 and 1. (
