The good news is this isn't necessarily the case: while I got all 6 in ~600 at 480, ~800 at 490, at 500 it only took less than 300!
This confirms that I am progressively unlucky. (IMG:[

I used to gobble my dropped artifacts up immediately but lately, as I get closer to my level cap, I am thinking it is best to just hoard artifacts or sell them. The reason is that if you always try to keep at your level cap from level 400~500 you'll basically end up using hundreds of times more crystals in the end. Thus you arguably waste hundreds or thousands of artifacts.
If you instead leave your artifact stats at around 70~80% of maximum which is pretty much where I'm at now, all the way until you reach level 500, then it will be take way fewer artifacts to just make a single push for +50/+50/+50/+50/+50/+50 at the very end.
Since a long time ago I always wanted to have all PABs at most. To this day I keep thinking like that. (IMG:[

By the way, my screenshot on the last page shows that my artifact stats display in a messed up way on my setup. I use the default fonts but a small monitor with a lower than normal screen resolution: things generally scale to look the same but occasionally it acts as I have less room and things clip, as with here and some other things.
My artifact stats displayed normally until I got past +19 in each; they are basically too wide now and clip down.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I use the following setting:

font-family: Arial
font-size: 9
font-weight: bold
font-style: "blank"
vertical adjust: -2
Everything appears in the right place.
