higher to the north -> better

Where can I sell artifacts for the best profit?

swamps? Been there. empty wasteland

Just wait until you get to the swamps. I got 150k from one run over there.

Oh I will. Just ran out of money XD. Garbage is next I guess

That's actually true. Still would like to see epic map arrows.

Somehow I got more rich from selling enemy loot than from artifact runs. I'll pause this guide for while

yes this is the lesser zone. I'd personally recommend going up to cement factory and garbage. There's plenty of anomalies though they're kind of spaced out. Travelling in the area is relatively safe when you know where all the dangerous anomalies are though that is true of this place too. What I find is that I can get better gear and ammo up there when I run into the odd bandit group. If you're not afraid of monolith north of the cement factory theres the cooling towers and I tend to see groups of duty getting swarmed by monolith up there.

is this in the first encampment

Good endeavor. Keep it up Stalker!
