I usually ser sharpening to -1 and NR to 0 I think then you will get your effect without artefacts

We all have different opinions regarding noise reduction and sharpening. The value 0 in NR is not my recommendation as it kills details. Sharpening -1 is fine if you plan to sharpen further in post, but if you stick to SOOC JPEGs I would recommend +1 and sometimes even +2 depending on the scene. Personally I often use +1 for sharpening and -2 or -3 for NR and I don't see any disturbing artifacts or noise. I think the issue with the  photos presented here is +2 sharpening in combination with a strong grain setting. I usually never use grain and when I do I reduce the sharpening quite a bit.
