Archeology items drop rate

[Kilergod]

Drop rate for archeology is terrible. 21 hours in and still not a single frozen relic :(

Anyone have hints how to increase the odds.
Also to the dev - increase the drop rate for this items -_-

I <love> this game but the drop rate of archeology is so bad. Compaired to the rest of the game, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I just went ape on shrines dig bonus + luck potion. Thats the way! But it;s a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one imo -_-

All archeology items need to have increased drop rates.
The fishing ones are worse and late game building costs to match is nasty, 800 berries for one fish trap...

For land ones, build shines in the right biomes and just keep checking for the buff that spawns dig spots and make the drink with luck on it an go nuts.

For the digging ones: use as mentiond before robotic shovel + digging holes from shrines + increased item drop rate from shrines + double item droprate from shrines + liquid luck potion.

For the fishing ones: remove all fish traps, use the shrine bonus buildings cost half the materials and build about 40 traps (always buy berries from the markets!) use liquid luck as well as the shrine buffs (drops increased) mentioned like before.

I've had this problem with the fishing artifacts for the past two days. I actually even thought of quitting the game, because it was impossible and I just wasn't bothered anymore. I finally found a solution to it, and I managed to upgrade my rods and finish the achievement.

The digging artifacts are actually quite easy, all you have to do is drink luck potions (however, I got mine even without them), use shrine buffs: hoarder and excavator. Keep digging and you'll eventually get them.

The fishing artifacts I had difficulty with for over 48 hours, I'd idle the game for half a day, and still not a single artifact caught. What I did was, I moved ALL my fishing traps to a particular biome, put all my droids on the fishing traps, put power plants next to them as well as a lighthouse, drank luck potions, and waited.

Now, while I was waiting for my artifacts to be caught, to kill time and to make things faster I highly recommend you make use of the slot machines in the game. Each round in the slot machine gives 2 special items along with gems. ALL artifacts, whether digging or fishing, are found in the slot machines.

I managed to get around 1-3 each by the fishing traps, and then I managed to get 10+ of each artifact just from the slot machines, and in less than an hour. Most of the items are crap, which you don't need, so what you should do is screw up the rounds with the useless items, and focus on the rounds with the artifacts.

Drink luck potions, and roll the slot machines. That is your best chance. Good luck!

If you destroy a shrine, it gives you enough material to make another one. The new one has the cooldown reset. Keep destroying and building till you get the digging buff, goes quick.

BE AWARE: the cost to build a shrine goes up every time doing this, but it also gives you more materials each time you destroy it. The materials you get back are less when the "half building materials cost" buff is up, so be careful destroying with that buff up. Trying to rebuild after the buff is gone will make you a sad panda.

They are extremely easy to get, as for fishing, just make like 20 traps and go afk a little bit while your droids gather them.

And for the digging stuff, just move your shrines to the biome you need them and get the forager buff. Getting it once usually gave me like 20 artifacts.
