Artifact Loadouts

**Disclaimer: this article is currently outdated and needs to be updated when Update 2.0 is released.**
**Important**: this article will assume that you have the 4th Artifact slot from the Améliorer upgrade. The order in which the Artifacts are placed determines how important they are to the loadout.
If you happen to be missing any of the Artifacts listed, there will be a list of alternative Artifacts that also work, alebit with a weaker effect, whenever possible.
This page will serve as a compilation of Artifact loadouts which serve different purposes to optimise a specific resource. With the introduction of the 8 loadout limit with Update 1.8 and the possibility of changing the loadout names, it makes it much easier to save different Artifact setups to use them whenever it is needed without having to constantly swap Artifacts in a certain loadout.

This article will also explain how these loadouts are supposed to be used in order to maximise efficiency. If you happen to be missing any of the more powerful Artifacts for a certain build (for example, Amulet of Paroxysm), the strategy to be used may differ from that of the optimal loadout.

## Shgabb Loadouts

Main article: Shgabb
With so many Shgabb related Artifacts, there are many possible combinations and open possibilities for a Shgabb loadout depending on your set of Artifacts. Here there will be an example of a build both for active and auto farming. Shgabb's Seeds are so strong that they can potentially give a boost much higher than any other Artifact out there, so they will be present in every loadout. Using a Click Farming Loadout (detailed later on in the article) can help to build up the multiplier.

### Active Shgabb Loadout

**Overall boost without Shgabb's seeds**: x240

This build may seem like it is a build for auto shgabb because of Sosnog, but it is still fairly active because of Furious Knife. This loadout may be combined with the Stronger Auto Ad, which makes it fairly easy to sustain. The only caveat is that you have to be constantly checking the click cooldown, because if you happen to click too late it will take a while to build Knife's boost back up.

**Alternative Artifacts**: Silicone Implants (x3 Shgabb), Ring of Slowing (+50% click cooldown), Ring of Productivity (+40% Shgabb from clicks), Blue Ring (+40% Shgabb).

### Auto Shgabb Loadout

**Overall boost without Shgabb's seeds**: x1037.5/x1975

**Disclaimer**: Amulet of Thaw may be changed for Furious Knife for an x2 boost, but it is not featured here since it would be too active for an "auto" loadout. It would also take quite long to build up the x20 boost and it would be rather easy to lose it in the process.
This is a purely automatic focused build, though it adds Amulet of Thaw, which means you have to click the shgabb button once every few seconds to keep the production going even if it is still on cooldown. This loadout synergizes best with the Stronger Auto Ad, which makes this build as easy to sustain as the Active build without having to worry about losing most of your production due to Knife.

It is also important to note that the x20.75 boost from Shgabb's handcuffs can be converted into 35.75/x39.5 with the use of the Unlevel Button (an Améliorer upgrade, unleveling the Click Cooldown upgrades from Shgabb and Golden Shgabb).

**Alternative Artifacts**: Amulet of Tides (10s x7, 10s x1, x4 overall), Silicone Implants (x3 Shgabb), Sosnog (x3 Shgabb, but it turns this loadout into a click oriented build), Ring of Slowing (+50% click cooldown), Ring of Laziness (+60% Shgabb from auto), Blue Ring (+40% Shgabb).

## Sandwich Loadout

Main article: Sandwiches
There are not that many Artifacts that directly boost Sandwiches, but there are Artifacts that indirectly boost them, so they can be combined to make a pretty strong build overall.

If you only have three Artifact slots, you should ignore Ring of Speed if you are farming on low Sandwiches (i.e. farming the 1st Sandwich upgrade) or Amulet of Fast Snacks if you intend to stack up a lot of sandwiches.

If you have 4 Artifact slots and you won't use Amulet of Quick Snacks, you can use other Artifact to boost something else while you farm Sandwiches. P2W to get some Gems is a great choice for this even though Paroxysm reduces gem output to 40% of normal.

## Golden Shgabb Loadout

Main article: Golden Shgabb
Contrary to normal Shgabb, there is one and only setup that can be constructed for Golden Shgabb, since there are only 3 Artifacts that affect Golden Shgabb at the moment.

This one is possibly the only loadout that doesn't even make use of the 4th Artifact Slot. If you happen to have it, you can use the Amulet of Saving, but chances are that if you already have the 4th Artifact Slot the Amulet of Saving is completely pointless. Amulet of Fast Start (x10 Shgabb for the first 3 minutes) may be a better option in that case.

## Silicone Shgabb Loadouts

Main article: Silicone Shgabb
As there aren't that many Silicone related Artifacts there aren't too many combinations to form, but there are still two variants, depending on whether you use the active or the passive amulets. If you have the 4th Artifact Slot you can actually use both at once to get even more Silicone from clicks.

These are four of the five Silicone Artifacts as of now (Silicone Implants stops Silicone production, so it is pointless to mention here). If you only have three slots then Amulet of Passive Silicone is the best to leave unequipped. It may feel off to incorporate Amulet of Paroxysm and Amulet of Passive Silicone into the mix, but this combination will make sure that you also get a decent amount of Silicone from clicking.

**Alternative Artifacts**: Light Blue Ring (+50% Silicone)

## Gem Loadout

Main article: Gems
There are not too many Artifacts that boost Gems, and using Amulet of Paroxysm is not really an option since it reduces Gem output to 40% of the normal output. However, there are still a few good options to increase Gem chance and amount.

### Slowgemming Loadout

This is the standard build used to farm Gems. This build is fairly simple to use, you just click the button whenever possible and you get all Ads that show up except for the Faster Clicks Ad, since it is so short that you are better off waiting for a longer one to pop up. It is also relevant to note that you should not upgrade your click cooldown below 3 seconds (level 30 with the Golden Shgabb upgrade, max otherwise) so as to not miss out on the boost from the Amulet of Slowgemming.

### Full Speed Loadout

This exotic build that has been proposed by a significant part of the community intends to exploit the buff that was granted to the Amulet of Paroxysm in Update 1.7.1. It revolves around the Faster Clicks Ad, going completely against the premise of the previous loadout in exchange for getting x2 Gems overall while the ad is active. However, this build has two potential shortcomings:

* The click cooldown ends up being so short that you may end up wasting a lot of potential clicks.
* The amount of time that you are while running under the Faster Clicks Ad is actually not much given that it only lasts for one minute and that you have to wait for the same Ad to pop up again.

For these two reasons, the Slowgemming build is quite better than this build even if proponents of this build may point out otherwise. This loadout has been featured in this article mostly to leave it documented in this wiki for future historic references.

## Miscellaneous Loadouots

Loadouts that cannot really be adscribed to any specific Currency but rather to stat farming or otherwise will be listed here.

### Click Farming Loadout

The main premise of this loadout is to farm clicks for Shgabb's Seeds, usually used when doing a very long run to push forward in More Shgabb levels. Or because you fancy to farm the stat for whatever reason.

Since there are currently only two Click Cooldown Artifacts, you can use the other two Artifact slots to farm whatever you may need, most notably Sandwiches, Silicone or Gems. The loadout featured here is a hyrbid of Gems and Silicone, you may change this adjusting for your needs. The difference here is that you always try to load the Faster Clicks Ad, disregarding every other Ad out there.

The only potential problem with this build is that the click cooldown is so short that you may miss on a lot of clicks, so if you happen to be missing a lot of clicks, you can change the Ring of Speed for another Artifact of your choice.

### Reset Loadout

These are some Artifacts that can help you out to start a new prestige a bit quicker, mostly intended for earlier stages of the game.

There are currently only three of these Artifacts, and they are considered to be completely useless in the endgame, since runs there tend to be far longer than what these Artifacts can encompass.
