Artifacts

Artifacts are temporary bonuses. Each one strengthens one thing, such as your attacks or your mines, by a percentage, and expires after a set time. You can hold many at once, and their bonuses add up.

Artifacts also have a grade, from 0 to 7. A higher grade means a stronger artifact; the colour of the crystal on the map shows its type.

Who it affects

  • Personal artifacts only affect you.
  • Team artifacts affect everyone in your tribe.
  • World artifacts affect every player in the world.

Where artifacts come from

  • Artifact fields on event islands and Dominion maps: the first player to capture the field gets its artifact. Only its type is visible before.
  • Your home island in Ove: the Artifact Forge forges a random one every day, the Nexus crafts recruiting and mining artifacts for Wild Essence.
  • Rewards: places 1 to 3 in a ranked Dominion round, the monthly Dominion tier payout, and the monthly Ove rewards.

Tips

  • Artifacts run out: use attack artifacts while you are fighting, not while you are offline.
  • In Dominion, Artifact Specialist makes every artifact several times as strong.
