Artifact Hunt

***Note:*** *This wiki is maintained by fans of the game, and is not affiliated with G5 Entertainment. If you are experiencing technical issues with the game itself, please contact customer support.*

The **Artifact Hunt** is a form of a mini-event. You collect *Shimmering Dice* while playing locations and mini-games. These Shimmering Dice are applied toward a series of prizes. You also have the option to purchase (for real money) a **"Golden Pass"** which awards even more prizes. Some of the deluxe prizes are exclusive to those who have purchased the Golden Pass.

## Overview

At the start of an Artifact Hunt, Jill o'Tumn will make an announcement. There are two lines of prizes that may be awarded if you collect sufficient Shimmering Dice. The upper line shows the deluxe prizes and the lower line shows the regular prizes. Note: the exact prizes will be different for each different Artifact Hunt. The image above is just an example.

You will collect the Shimmering Dice while playing locations and mini-games. Various amounts of Shimmering Dice are awarded based on exploration mode or anomaly, using tools, saving seconds, creating combinations in Match-3 mini-games, finding items during Monstrology mini-events, and other factors. You can also get Shimmering Dice when you buy or spend rubies and when you complete event tasks or collect event tokens.

The amount of Shimmering Dice that players receive per "activity" seems to be player level dependent. Lower level players are collecting **more** Shimmering Dice for a particular activity than higher level players. For instance, a lower level player received 345 dice, a middle level player received 265 dice, and a higher level player received 160 dice for exploring a location.

You can then redeem the Shimmering Dice for the prizes. You don't have to redeem each prize immediately after you have won it; you can wait until it is convenient for you. You will have to redeem a certain number of levels to "complete" the Artifact Hunt. For the first 4 Artifact Hunts, you needed 500,000 Shimmering Dice to finish level 30. The fifth Artifact Hunt has 20 levels.

You can see what the deluxe and the regular prizes are (and what they do) before you purchase a Golden Pass by clicking on the prize. At the start of an Artifact Hunt mini-event, you could look at all the (potential) deluxe prizes and then make a decision on whether the price of a Pass is worth it to you. Keep in mind that some of the prizes are only active for the duration of the event (the building, the good monster, the quantum burst, the Pass itself, and so on).

The timeframe of this mini-event changes. The first 4 Artifact Hunts lasted the length of the event less 6 hours. The fifth Artifact Hunt has a timeframe of 14 days plus 10 hours.

## Deluxe Prizes

If you choose to purchase a Golden Pass, you will have the potential of receiving both sets of prizes. Some of the deluxe prizes are exclusive prizes only available to those who have purchased the Golden Pass. Some of the prizes will last the duration of the event (only). You will get the most benefit from these short-term prizes if you purchase the Golden Pass as soon as the event starts. If you choose to purchase the Golden Pass after you have already won some of the prizes on the lower line, you will be awarded the prizes on the upper line that you "missed".

The **Quantum Burst** prize is a booster which increases maximum energy by 30% and coins by 10% in locations, mini-events and fights until the end of "Artifact Hunt". Disappears after the event duration ends.

Another deluxe prize is a totem which sits in your city in the yard behind the Ballet Academy when the event is in the lower city. If the event is in the upper city, the totem sits on the walkway above the Foggy Backstreet. This totem will disappear after the event duration ends. You will receive rewards every 24 hours. The base rewards are 10 Experience points, 10 Energy units, 50 coins, and 2 items for playing the event mini-games. Your friends can charge this totem.

There is also a wandering "good monster". It wanders around the map until the event ends. It can give coins, energy, weapons, and Skeleton Keys. Your friends can charge this creature. And occasionally this creature will appear on your own map.

There is a Hall of Fame trophy which you may win. You will be able to claim the prize from your Hall of Fame. This trophy is permanent.

**Super Prize**

At the end of the line of prizes is a "Super Prize", available to players who purchased the Golden Pass.

In the first Artifact Hunt, you could have won the Unbreakable Warrior Totem. (This totem is the "Conqueror of the Sea" totem, but the Artifact Hunt referred to it as the Unbreakable Warrior totem.) This totem sits near the Pier. Every 24 hours, the totem awards:

* 5 Energy units
* 1 random tool
* 1 random weapon

In the second Artifact Hunt, you could have won a "Winner's Chest", which contains:

* 1 Lunar Lens for 20 minutes
* 1 Magnifier and 1 Diode Bomb each time you explore a location for 20 minutes
* 5 Bombs
* Infinite Energy for 30 minutes
* 1 Key for the chests of Fire Mummies, Psy-Werewolves, Scaly Gargoyles, and Diggers

In the third Artifact Hunt, you could have won "Unlimited Chests". After reaching the 30th checkpoint, each additional 35,000 dice awards the player a chest containing 3-6 useful prizes.
