Artifacts

Artifacts are hidden items that can be found and researched for unique rewards. Artifacts can be viewed and researched in the Museum.

Researching

Once unlocked, each artifact can be researched, and will only grant its reward once this process is completed. Researching takes a fixed amount of time.

There are two Museum skills which affect artifact research: the Faster Research skill improves the research time, while the Offline Research skill allows artifact research to continue while the player is offline.

All boss artifacts get a +100% base drop chance per kill on the respective boss(which is pretty much just base chance multiplied by boss kills)
