Artifacts are items that can be donated to the Museum or sold for a small profit. Donating to the Museum will yield rewards when donation milestones are reached, or when specific artifacts are donated. Each artifact may only be donated once.

Artifacts have little use other than donating them to the museum. The Dwarf Scrolls, Dwarvish Helm, and Dwarf Gadget may be gifted to the Dwarf as liked gifts, the Ancient Seed may be crafted into a plantable Ancient Seeds pack, and the Dinosaur Egg may be used to hatch a Dinosaur or turned into Mayonnaise.

Artifacts can be acquired in the following ways:

Donating the following artifacts grant unique rewards:

Artifacts

Note that the Quarry is considered part of The Mountain when digging up Artifact Spots. For Fishing Treasure Chests, the artifact has a higher chance of appearing if all 20 Lost Books have been given to the Museum.

Collection

Entries are added upon finding the artifact. The artifact does not need to be donated to the Museum or shipped via the shipping box to count towards the collection.

Note that artifacts found in Fishing Treasure Chests or obtained by tilling soil in the mines may not appear as found on the collections tab. Dragging the artifact outside the inventory window and allowing it to be taken back into inventory may correct this. Holding the artifact in inventory overnight may also correct this.
