Rift Dust Vial
uncommon Commander Slot Artifact
A sealed vial containing faintly glowing particulate matter collected at the edge of a void rift. Chemists cannot determine its molecular composition. Pilots who keep it close swear their instincts sharpen near anomalies.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?
Rift Dust Vial is the higher-rarity relic, so it carries the stronger ceiling for the Commander Slot slot and is the long-term target. That said, if you are already running the Void Remnants set, the set bonus can outweigh raw rarity — favour the artifact that completes a set you already own.
