Artifacts

**WARNING:** This following article contains spoilers! Read at your own risk!

Artifacts are a game mechanic to get specific boosts in Shgabb Clicker. They can be equipped and unequipped freely and there can be up to 3 of them equipped at any given time. They do not reset upon doing a Prestige when getting Golden Shgabb. There are currently 30 artifacts in the game.

## How to obtain Artifacts

There are currently two ways to obtain Artifacts: either through clicking or through the 3rd cate Artifac offer. It is relevant to note that you cannot get duplicate Artifacts, you will always get a new Artifact were you to get one. The 3rd Gem upgrade also gets locked once you unlock all Artifacts to prevent accidental Gem spending.

### Obtaining Artifacts through clicking

Whenever you click to get Shgabb, there is a small chance to get an Artifact. This is the only way as of now to get Artifacts for free without any further commitment and will be a powerful way of accumulating lower rarity Artifacts for essentially no added effort.

**Important**: Paroxysm artifact does still give you Artifacts even though it blocks Gem income, a common misconception is that it doesn't give Artifacts precisely because it eliminates Gems from being collected. This table shows the chances to get an Artifact based on its rarity.

### Getting Artifacts through the third Gem offer

There is a second option to get Artifacts that involves the third Gem offer, where you spend 50 Gems to get the equivalent chance of 3000 clicks to get an Artifact. If you have all Common artifacts unlocked the Gem offer may not drop any Artifacts, though this offer is a good way of getting the higher rarity Artifacts. Below is a table with the equivalent chances with the Gem offer.

## Artifact Loadouts

Main article: Artifact Loadouts

Artifact Loadouts make it possible to save certain combinations of Artifacts for later use. They were introduced in Update 1.6, and you can have between 2 and 8 Loadouts depending on how many you have purchased from the fourth Gem upgrade.

Artifact Loadouts can be given a name as of Update 1.8 for easier organization. They can have any combination of Artifacts that you want as long as they have at most your maximum amount of Artifacts equipped (3 or 4 depending on whether you have the respective Améliorer upgrade or not).

It is often advised to use different Loadouts for different purposes. For example, you might have a Loadout for Shgabb production, another Loadout for Golden Shgabb gain and an additional Loadout for Silicone Shgabb. You may switch between Loadouts at any given point.

## Artifact Upgrades

Main article: Artifact Scrap
Artifacts can be upgraded as of Update 1.9 using Artifact Scrap, which can be obtained by either destroying Artifacts or by getting duplicate Artifacts at random. Upgrading Artifacts will increase their boost to make them more powerful. Higher rarity Artifacts will need more Artifact Scrap to be upgraded, and higher level Artifacts will also need more Artifact Scrap. Here is a table with all current costs:
