I looted two (Exceptional) items in five minutes while wearing an old Devo t-shirt, therefore Devo t-shirts must increase your chances of getting better loots. Sounds crazy, but I guarantee the same kind of logic was applied to the "rare artifact".
The devs who coded the loot system are from the same team who thought an ingenious way to become a jedi was to grind through several professions, I seriously doubt they spent the time to code something as subtle as a rare artifact improving your loot.

Server:- ahazi
Type of NS:- All except Elders over a 5 hour period.
What they dropped :- Pistol accuracy +9 CA , couple of better than crafted (but not superb) VLs , usual leather , clasps , substandard DOT weapons etc.
Good or bad loot? :- Had worse nights , had better.
Credits looted :- 150k+
On a side note i noticed the standard of DOT weapons dropping was particulary bad , infact worse than i have ever seen , several had potency of under 10% , and a few had uses under 200.

Alrighty can't tell ya exactly but here it goes.
Here's approx numbers from about 1 1/2 months of sisters.
Probably wont give much information except the sheer numbers you will have to kill to get good stuff. This is probably with hunting sisters 2-10 hours a day.
Your Server Name: Flurry
Who you fought (type of nightsister): Everything. Probably, i dunno, 200 elders. Countless thousands of everything else. Not so many protectors becuase they seem to drop the worst loot out of the higher level mobs. With a few exceptions of course.
What they dropped: From what i remember the best loots have been: (and the type they dropped from)
1. +9 two handed speed (weaver) [few days ago]
2. +25 unarmed speed (elder) [almost a month ago]
3. +11 medical experimentation (elder) [week ago]
4. 740 damage 2.9 speed unsliced lva (weaver) (29% damage slice wooooooohooooo) [couple weeks]
5. 680+ damage unsliced lva (protector) [coupel days]
6. 2 exceptional ns lances (not great. only thing exceptional were like 500+ damage) (weavers i think) [been maybe 3 weeks since ive looted anything exceptional
7. exceptional heavy duty freakin leather (how useful) (sentinal) [few weeks]
8. exceptional armor shards (either sentinal or ranger. sentinal i think) [over a month]
9. 8% and 7% layers (n/a) [spread out through my time killin sisters]
10. shards with -37, -33, -28 and so on (weavers mostly) [all good ones at least a month ago]
11. Many poisons with 200-300 damage and good pot/dur ( most are crap tho) (n/a) [spread out]
12. Maybe 3 fire dots. Best is a mind fire approx stats are 131, 130s, 99%, 5k. (weavers and protectors i think) [all within the last week or so]
13. No above average diseases. At this point i dunno if they even drop.
Do you consider this a good loot? yeah
Number of Credits Looted: Gotta be in teh millions by this point.
So, for sticks the best bet is Spell Weavers, Protectors, and Sentinals. For attaches, Elders and just pray to whatever god you believe in cuz the attach that they drop is gonna be sweet.
From what I see the best loots come from, in this order:
Elders (but not from a loot/time standpoint)
Spell Weavers (best from a loot/time standpoint)
Sentinals
Protectors
Rangers
Stalkers (maybe they're this low cuz they dont spawn as often as others, dunno)
Sentries, Slaves, etc.

server name: Intrepid
who i fought: @1500 initiates/sentinels, @1000 stalkers/outcasts, @500 spell weavers/protectors, @100 rangers/rancor tamers, @200 NS rancors (NS rancors, NS bull rancors, NS enraged rancors, NS enraged bull rancors, gorvo)
10 elders, 5 witches, 4 patrol leaders, 2 Axkva Miin.
what i got: about 70 basic NS lances (6.2 9-133 standard health disease) about 40 NS lances with higher than average damage (between 18-210 and 64-370) and lower than average speed (5.2-2.9), 103 NS lances with extra DOT's and various dmg/spd, 48 NS armor layers, 39 NS armor shards, 47 various LVA's and VL's, 32 rancor teeth (some bile soaked), 30 rancor padded armor seg's, 28 rancor teeth, 63 rancor biles, 42 clasps, 37 heavy duty leathers, 1 red crystal (spell weaver drop) various bone/mabari/padded armor (some with stat mods, all off the rancor variants) 2 NS vibro units, a bunch of basic crap (clothing, jewlry, small ammounts of crappy meat, fish, horn, milk, etc., basic weapons)
do i consider this a good loot?: decent for 2 months of genocide, still wish i snagged an energy lance schematic...
number of credits looted: around a million, give or take 1 or 2 hundred k
titles used were : Master Pistoleer, Master Swordsman, Master Ranger (Master swordsman was worn most of all, changed from pistoleer to swords around the time i started keeping track of this genocidic rage, currently transitioning from swords to pike) hope that helps in this little experiment.
BTW for those that don't know, witches spawn for a mission at the imp prison, patrol leaders spawn from a singing mountain clan mission.
