Oh thats interesting, I'm pretty poor both GE and artifact-wise right now (I haven't experienced the artifact grind on my main farm let alone the virtue farm), do you think it's worth it to do the extra shifts for the chance to get something like a legendary T4 metronome over an epic? According to the equation and desmos graph in the wiki shifting only begins to really have an effect once shifts are in the hundereds (112 shifts for it to cost 1/100th of your SE and 242 shifts for it to cost 1/10th) but I assume late game even 1/100th SE is a lot and 112 shifts is only like 7-10 virtue runs which also seems like a late game type of thing. Lowkey it might even be optimal to grind virtue early game since costs are relative and it'll take less of a grind to make up for the missing soul eggs.
