Before I go too much further clearing out any Tormented Space worlds, I want to make sure I understand something. The Artifacts of Odin being counted is only something for the Prospector Space zone, right? I.E., if I finish a world in Tormented Space, but leave an AoO uncollected, it's no big deal?
Well... Whether an uncollected artifact is a big deal is up to you. Can you live with the thought than in some maps you have left an AoO untouched? If so, then it is no big deal ;) Same holds for the Prospector zone, actually...
But to answer your question directly: the AoO-counter only counts collected AoO in Prospector zone maps.
Yeah, if it isn't tracked, then it doesn't bother me.
