Editing Artifacts

'''Artifacts''' are permanent upgrades you can find in [[Warzone Idle]].  Artifacts and [[advancements]] are the only things that give permanent Warzone Idle upgrades.

You may only have 3 artifacts equipped at any time.  Those are the only 3 that have any effect.  Some artifacts are Passive which means their effects always apply while equipped, and others must be activated and then have a cooldown until you can activate them again.

To change the three artifacts you have equipped, open the Advancements tab and click View All next to artifacts.  Then drag the one you want to equip into a box at the top.

To activate a non-passive artifact, equip it and then look for the Activate button on the advancements tab.  It will then "cool down" until it can be used again.

Note that you cannot un-equip an artifact that's cooling down.  You also cannot equip two identical artifacts (regardless of rarity).

== Getting Artifacts ==

Artifacts can be found by digging at dig sites that you find while playing Warzone Idle.  All Warzone Idle levels have dig sites other than the tutorial, the first level, and the bonus level.

Once started, a dig site disappears from the map and will be shown on the Advancements tab. Starting a new Warzone Idle level does not affect the current dig but all dig sites left on the map will be lost.

== Timing ==

Note that the times specified in dig sites, as well as artifact cooldown and upgrade time, are in real-world time and are not affected by how often you open the game or what your maximum Idle Time is set to. They ''are'', however, affected by Time Warp, both the power and the artifact (though the artifact does not affect its own cooldown).

Additionally some clan war rewards may reduce artifact cooldown, affecting the Time Warp cooldown. There also exists an advancement which reduces digging time.

== Rarities and Upgrades ==

Each artifact has a rarity. Higher rarities correspond to stronger effects.

The rarities are, from lowest to highest:
* Poor
* Common
* Uncommon
* Rare
* Epic
* Legendary
* Insane

An artifact may have its rarity upgraded by sacrificing four artifacts of the same rarity. The upgrade will take some time, during which the artifact cannot be used. The amount of time required depends on the rarity:
