Tips for Efficient Artifact Farming:

Save Before Farming: Create a quick save before entering an anomaly zone. If the artifact isn't what you're seeking, reload your save.
Utilize Advanced Detectors: Employ better artifact detectors like the Veles or Bear to increase the spawn rate of artifacts in their respective zones.
