The Artifact Forge forges one random artifact every 24 hours. The higher its level, the better the grade and the stronger the bonus.
How it works
When the forge is ready, open it and collect the artifact. The next one starts forging the moment you collect, so a forge you leave alone does not pile up artifacts: it waits with one finished artifact until you come back.
The artifact type is random: attack, defense, recruiting, mining and harvesting. Every forged artifact lasts 24 hours and only affects you.
Grades
The forge level decides the grade and the bonus:
| Forge level | Grade | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Grade 2 | +12% to +18% |
| 5–6 | Grade 4 | +27% to +30% |
| 7+ | Grade 6 | +43% to +51% |
Wishing Well upgrades
With a Wishing Well, every collect has a chance to come out one band better: an upgraded artifact uses the grade and bonus of the next band at your forge's level. In the top band it gets the next grade and the bonus of a forge 2 levels higher. The chance is 1% per point of Wishing Well luck, so a level 9 well gives 18%.
Levels
Every site starts at level 1 and can be upgraded to level 9 with Soulstones. The cost shown is for reaching that level. While Builder's Grace is active, level-ups cost 20% less.

Getting a Artifact Forge
Turn any unlocked site (except the Temple) into a Artifact Forge for 100'000Soulstones. The new site starts at level 1, and the levels of the site you replaced are lost. You can have up to 4 of them, locked plots included.
Tips
- You can build up to 4 forges. Each one forges on its own timer.
- Forge levels 5 and 7 start a new grade, so those are the upgrades that change the artifact the most.
- Need a specific type? The Nexus crafts recruiting and mining artifacts on demand.
