Artefacts are passive items that provide beneficial effects to the master, monsters or traps.
Gaining artefacts
There are several ways to obtain an artefact:
- Reward after a successful dungeon defence
- Sending a monster in the 2nd choice during business trip.
- Rare bonus reward in some plunder locations.
- Random event.
- Stocktake - Take free Artefact
- Icarus - Take free Artefact
- Armchair Alchemist - Encourage to transform a random artefact into another random artefact
- Selfless Favour - Random Artefact upgrade (Triggers only after several positive choices during R&D events)
Only 5 artefacts can be held at a time. Gaining an artefact while having the max amount will prompt the player to throw out the new one or replace a currently held one with it.
Optionally a random artefact can be sold for a hefty amount of gold during The Collector random event.
