Complexity is a value assigned to artifacts that represents how sophisticated their technology is. This is different from difficulty, which is used to determine how difficult it is to correctly identify an artifact with a normal {{qud text|e&Wx&yamine}}. In addition to their default complexity, any [[Mods]] on an artifact will also increase the complexity of that artifact depending on the mods. Refer to the [[Artifacts by complexity]] page for a list of artifacts and their complexity. | Complexity is a value assigned to artifacts that represents how sophisticated their technology is.

For players with the [[Tinkering]] skill, they will gain access to another option when selecting an item. If that item is an identified artifact that can be constructed, the player can "{{qud text|Read early h&Wi&ystory with psychometry}}", granting them access to that artifact's recipe. The maximum complexity of artifacts whose recipes can be learned is determined by mutation level.
