Halve the Artifact Recovery time modifier to 100

[XxFran10xX]

Summary

Halves the Artifact Recovery (artifact_focus) time modifier from 200 to 100. This ships the value now live on TFMCMain01.

Artifacts gate the mage class: a player's resonance can't rise above the aura of the artifacts in their meditation circle. The artifact focus was the only artifact source on the live server, and it produced about one artifact per 16.6 hours on a typical level 3 node with diamond tools at 100% efficiency.

time_modifier	Hours per artifact (typical node)	Fastest node (mythril, 2 per cycle)
200 (before)	16.6	5.8
100 (now)	12.6	3.8

At 100, a guild's mages reach tier I in 1–2 days and the full tier IV kit in about 1–1.5 weeks. This assumes the Magic tier bands from the companion Magic PR.

The bundled artifact_focus still differs from the live entry in its name, upkeep and drop odds. Those are left as they are.

Testing

• No unit test asserts this value; CI runs the full suite.
• Live on TFMCMain01 since 2026-10-05 20:50 UTC through dowsing reload (routine PUSH). The reload ran with no errors.
