 An artificer who has created an artifact may choose to make a second copy, taking advantage of shortcuts and tricks picked up along the way. The artificer must not have started creating a different artifact or let any more than a season pass since the original was created. The number of successes required for the repeat artifact is reduced by 210.

 Artifact Creation rolls use a pool of Int + appropriate Craft + relevant specialty (or Int + relevant crafting trait in the case of [[Esoteric Crafting]]) and are extended rolls taking place over the course of an 8-hour period within which the artificer devotes all their attention to the work. If an artificer increases this pool by use of Excellencies or activation of artifacts whose duration is less than 8 hours, then the motes used remain committed until the end of the 8-hour period.
 During periods of 'downtime' devoted to artifact creation, it may be easier for players to apply the number of periods worked as a multiplier on a single roll.
