Must you spend faction tokens to buy an artifact with a faction symbol, and can banners on adventurers or chiefs count?

The publisher confirmed on BGG that only banner tokens count and that they are spent, and the rulebook lists faction tokens as the cost.

Yes. A faction symbol on an artifact is a cost: you discard a matching faction token to the supply. Banners on adventurers or chiefs cannot stand in for it, and adventurer discounts apply only to recruiting, not to artifacts. A played artifact gives no discount later either.
