Fun numbers!!!!! Math only includes artifacts that are available for regular purchase (or were up to this point) as the value of artifacts not normally available for purchase aren't readily available.
Transplanar Torus, estimated credit value: 2000 - 3000 cr. (2k for cubix, and it's better, so reasonable to expect it is worth more than a cubix. Sold at auction for 19,100,500gp At the current market prices for credits, 25-30k per, this sold for approximately 637-764 credits worth of gold, representing about a 60%-75% discount. If credit market prices were adjusted to match the value of this artifact they would be selling somewhere between 6367 - 9550 gp/credit.
Rune of Absorption, credit value: 500cr Sold at auction for 7,500,500gp At the current market prices for credits, 25-30k per, this sold for approximately 250-300 credits worth of gold, representing a 40%-50% discount. If credit market prices were adjusted to match the value of this artifact they would be selling for about 15,000 gp/credit.
Ring of Aetheric Quickening, credit value: 500cr Sold at auction for 6,500,500gp At the current market prices for credits, 25-30k per, this sold for approximately 216-260 credits worth of gold, representing a 48%-58% discount. If credit market prices were adjusted to match the value of this artifact they would be selling for about 13,000 gp/credit.
Circlet of Lucidity, credit value: 600cr Sold at auction for 7,500,500gp At the current market prices for credits, 25-30k per, this sold for approximately 250-300 credits worth of gold, representing a 50%-58% discount. If credit market prices were adjusted to match the value of this artifact they would be selling for about 12,500 gp/credit.
Total gold removed from game for these four auctions: 40,602,000gp Total credit value of the prizes awarded: 3600 - 4600
That number exists in case people want to trade them in. Their inherent rarity from not being available for regular purchase gives them a much higher actual value than this. Even still, only the most expensive few approached that 500cr worth mark.
They're actually worth about 500cr- if they were priced in the artifact shop, they would indeed sell. At auctions, they tend to go for around that (minimum of 333 because I immediately drop a bid of 333 on all the censers when they go up).
Sometimes they go higher when people are bidwarring it, but 500's around the baseline people are willing to pay.
Dingbats are a lot easier to acquire nowadays then credits, especially since the release of the Wheel, if you aren't getting at least 1.5 dingbat per credit, you are paying too much.

Which is why we no longer sell the torus for dingbats.

The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Double TF + Karma Blessing + Night defs pre switch should be +3 int. 20 int is doable. I hit 19 as Aslaran.
