Artifact jewelry (no longer updated)

Convert crowdfunded trinkets into new rarity "artifacts" that can be dropped in Champion Dungeons, boss fights, and Champion Dungeon quests.

Artefact Trinkets

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**

The author is currently not very satisfied with this mod and plans to completely redo it, so there will be no updates until the rework is completed. If a game update renders this mod unavailable, your saves should be safe and all artifact trinkets will be converted back to crowdfunded trinkets.

🎉 **Welcome to the world of artifact accessories! ** This mod converts the 294 Kickstarter cosmetics in the game into a new rarity - **Artefact**. They have unique colors and are more challenging and surprising to obtain!

✨ Module function

• **New Rarity**: Crowdfunded trinkets are now of the "Artifact" rarity, with their own color identification.
• **Unique Acquisition Limitation**: Like the Ancestral Trinket, you can only have one of each artifact.
• **Safety**: Mod updates **will not** damage your game saves.

🗺️ How to get it

Obtaining artifacts is full of adventurous fun, mainly from high-difficulty championship dungeons:

**Dungeon Loot**

• There is a **2%** chance of dropping an artifact after fighting in the **Champions Dungeon**.

**Dungeon Mission Reward**

After completing the tasks in the Champion Dungeon, you will also have the opportunity to obtain artifact rewards:

• **Short Mission**: **5%** chance
• **Mid mission**: **10%** probability
• **Long Mission**: **20%** chance

**Boss Challenge**

Defeating powerful bosses is a shortcut to obtaining artifacts:

• **Shambler**: **75%** chance of dropping 1 artifact
• **Collector**: **25%** chance of dropping 1 artifact
• **(Note: Brigand Vvulf no longer drops artifacts after game version 15015)**

**Other ways**

• You can also purchase artifacts in the store for **75,000** gold coins.
• **Version Compatible**: Confirmed to work with game version **16707**.
