Ove

Nexus

The Nexus turns Wild Essence into artifacts. Unlike the Artifact Forge it has no timer and no luck involved: you pick the artifact, pay, and get it right away.

How it works

The Nexus crafts two kinds of artifact:

  • Recruiting artifact: all your recruitment runs faster.
  • Mining artifact: all your Soulstone Mines produce more.

The bonus is 5% at level 1 and grows by 5% per level, up to 45% at level 9. Every artifact lasts 24 hours and only affects you. A recruiting artifact costs 5 times as much as a mining artifact. You can craft as many as your Wild Essence allows.

Levelling the Nexus raises the bonus and the price together: the table below lists the Wild Essence cost of both artifacts at every level.

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 Nexus

Turn any unlocked site (except the Temple) into a Nexus for 100'000Soulstones. The new site starts at level 1, and the levels of the site you replaced are lost.

Tips

  • A mining artifact pays for itself when your mines are already high level: its bonus multiplies the output of every mine at once.
  • Craft a recruiting artifact right before a big recruiting push, for example when you plan to fill a newly conquered event island.
  • Short on Wild Essence? Harvest it on event islands, earn it in Dominion, or buy it at the Market.
