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.

Passive bonuses

  • +8% Anomaly Discovery Chance
  • +6% Void Navigation Safety

Set bonus3 pieces

+18% Expedition Discovery Chance

Void Attunement: The void reveals its secrets to those who carry its remnants.

How to get

Expedition Cache, Anomaly Reward

Verdict Telemetry Shard

rare Commander Slot Artifact

A crystalline data-shard that intercepted and stored a fragment of the low-band stream a mythic guardian broadcasts toward the relay network mid-battle. The decoded portion is not a weapon schematic or a star map — it reads like a scoring rubric. Commanders who carry it find their reads on a chaotic engagement come a half-second sooner, as though they are seeing the fight the way something else is grading it.

Passive bonuses

  • +8% Battle Coordination Bonus
  • +10% Intel Reveal Speed

Set bonus3 pieces

+15% Mythic Boss Contribution Score

Verdict-Bound: Relics taken from the Verdict Tier resonate with the guardians' telemetry, increasing your measured contribution in mythic raids.

Which Artifact Should You Equip?

Verdict Telemetry Shard 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.
