The biggest problem with techniques or artifacts is that eventually, if you don't rise in power, status, or connections, you won't be able to procure the necessary materials needed to also bring your power up to par with others at your level. So I'd say it's a good thing that you have the ability to use the same…

The greatest minds of our world didn't make their great discoveries when they lived happy, peaceful lives. They made them in times of war, after living through hell themselves.

It took the rachni mere months to reverse engineer faster-than-light travel technology. That is the fastest this has been managed by any current race. It's not even close.

About 20 ingots worth of dwemer metal, a few honing stones, and a set of hammers and tongs. Used materials refill once a year. Not exactly powerful in the more high-tech settings, but being able to craft items out of a metal that never really rusts is something that won't ever go out of style. Or you could always just…

You can fix anything. Quite literally. Alien technology, magical artifacts. You may not even understand what they do or how they work, but you can see when they're broken and how to fix it.
