Since I just used jewels to purchase two more Artifact+ weapons, i've started thinking that maybe i've been reading things wrong in the weapon rules. As things are now, i'm feeling like I may have thrown away 300,000 (or more) jewels, so I figured I would ask it here so people might not make the same potential mistake I did.
In short:
What are the main benefits of combining 3 Artifact+ weapons into a single Multi-part weapon as opposed to combining 3 Artifact weapons into a single Multi-part weapon.
The Long Story:
When I was going over the rules for multi-part weapons, I mistook the "Slots" thing as ability slots rather than "weapon slots", so I believed that some of the abilities your multi-part weapon would get would be Advanced. If that were not the case, it seems to me like combining Artifact+ weapons holds no additional merit as opposed to combining Artifact weapons, aside from the latter not costing as much and the former being a waste of money otherwise.
Which is why I would like some input on this as no one so far has been able to provide a clear answer as nobody seems to really know.
