artifacts help!

how do i get artifacts?

[RogueFireWolf]

Excavating a bit. All Lore Artifacts have some sort of thing that increases their chance, such as casting a spell, aligning with that Faction x number of times, clicking, not clicking don't click as Drow at all - there's one that can only be obtained with them if you DON'T click, and such. All Factions have two Faction Artifacts, though some Artifacts are exclusive to unlocking with a single Faction, in addition to that, and some can't be obtained until Ascension.

For Quest Artifacts, they come at certain stages of the game.

how much coins do i need for excavation to trigger?

[RogueFireWolf]

You unlock the Excavations after buying an upgrade that appears after Abdicating with at least 1B total Gems.

how do i get 500 asistants?

[RogueFireWolf]

For the Trophy? Don't worry about it - you'll have an insanely tough time at R0 getting it, since Temporary Assistants (Assistants from Spells, such as Fairy Chanting) don't count for it. Just play normally - you'll get it in normal gameplay.

Don't try to do that. Gems will increase your production; without the boost provided by having gems already, trying to get that many gems will be very impractical. You should probably abdicate soon, if not now.

Also, if you don't yet have the heritages of the six available factions unlocked, you should focus on that first before trying to unlock excavations. If you do have the heritages available, then elves will be the most suitable faction for producing gems at this stage.

Yeah, waiting for 1b gems first run is impossible unless you want to wait like a couple months for what would take you an hour of just abdicating quickly.

[RogueFireWolf]

You can hit it pretty fast in 1 run, actually, and without using Rubies, too. A couple of days, at most, playing as Undead and being offline. After around 50B Gems, you'll hit a wall.

[PseudonymousBosh]

True. That said, even if he happens to be playing undead, pushing the run so far isn't at all the best choice.

[RogueFireWolf]

And I never said it was. He's better-off going on multiple Elf runs to hit 100K-1M Gems, then going after Heritages.

[PseudonymousBosh]

A good point - what I said earlier was not quite correct, and some additional gem production runs with elves will indeed be better than pursuing heritages immediately.

[RogueFireWolf]

I've probably spent more time doing R0 runs than I have actually playing on my main save. I'm currently working on my R0 Trophies Run's second attempt. I went for Stoic on it using Undead, and spent most of it procrastinating on loading the save, spending way more time on it than I should have.

And when I abdicated, I accidentally went Undead again, and promptly grabbed Artifacts, but forgot to disable clicking, so couldn't get that one Artifact that run. Something so small... but hey - at least I could restart it! My Artifact Runs on R0 are going to be fun for that.

Anyway, that draws away from the original post.
