Calibration Spike
uncommon Flagship Artifact
A precision instrument used to calibrate targeting arrays. Whoever owned this one calibrated it so many times the grip is worn smooth — but the tip remains factory-perfect.
Passive bonuses
- +6% Fleet Accuracy
- +5% Cooldown Reduction Scan
How to get
Craft Reward, Expedition Cache
Resonance Tuner
rare Flagship Artifact
An instrument designed to read and adjust the resonance frequency of void-adjacent anomalies. The engineering behind it implies a level of anomaly research far beyond anything on record — and it still works better than anything built today.
Passive bonuses
- +12% Anomaly Discovery Chance
- +8% Wormhole Stability Bonus
How to get
Deep Expedition, Anomaly Reward
Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Resonance Tuner is the higher-rarity relic, so it carries the stronger ceiling for the Flagship slot and is the long-term target. That said, if you are already running the No Set set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
