Idle Online Universe Wiki

Artifacts are only available to unlock in monthly Events and provide various bonuses. They were first introduced in patch v0.99.55. Artifacts are leveled up with Artifact XP, which is also gained from events (granted retroactively to all participants). Some base experience is also granted for each artifact. Hover over an artifact's image to see the date you earned it.

Artifact XP distribution can be reset once every seven days. Artifact XP is increased by 2.5% for each Lineage Level, and can also be increased with the Expeditions Lab upgrade Deciphering Texts and the Legendary Upgrade Artifact Study.

Prior to patch v1.0.0, during the Match 3 Event in August 2019, the Artifact Tier system was released. Artifacts start at tier 1.0 and tier increases by 1 if you complete its event again. Each artifact's bonus is multiplied by its tier.

In the Shop, you can buy unowned artifacts and upgrade their tier by 0.1 up to twice. The rate at which tiers are earned can be upgraded with the VIP Upgrade Event Tiering.

Upgrade Cost[]

The base upgrade cost is 500. The cost of each level increases by this amount. Every ten levels, ten times the increment is added to the cost and the increment increases by 500. The formula for upgrade cost is 500*level*ceiling(level/10).
