I like this new addition that makes guardians unique, however, it feels pretty counter intuitive. From the quest, you get a 310 artifact and those two that you choose from are the only ones that can get that high. If you infuse even a 300 one with that it will only be 306-308 probably. I don't think there's a way to get artifacts of your choice to 310. :(
Edit: The only way I can think of to get another artifact to 310 is to transfer a 310 artifact from a character that has also done the particular quest to obtain the artifact and infuse it to 310.

You list this as a artifact problem, when it has been a issue to me for litteraly everything we can upgrade. Hope you get high attack/defense value raid gear multiple times so you can feed it into other gear, or only ever use the raid gear.
