Artifacts

An artifact tile

Artifacts are found items that can be donated to the museum for display or sold.

They can be found by using the hoe on areas of the ground with 'dancing sticks' or 'worms'. These marked areas will reward different artifacts depending on their location. Some artifacts also can be found in fishing treasure chests.

Artifacts are not used for either crafting (except ancient seed) or requested for villager quests. Donating to the museum will give the player rewards when donated milestone numbers are reached (minerals can also be donated), or when specific artifacts are donated. A donation can only be made once for each item.

Aside from museum donation there are a few artifacts with unique unlocks:

• Donating Ancient Seed to museum pays out in Ancient Fruit seeds, and crafting recipe for conversion of artifact seeds into planteable version, should more be found.
• The dwarf scrolls (Dwarf Scroll I, Dwarf Scroll II, Dwarf Scroll III, and Dwarf Scroll IV) are the only artifacts which can drop from monsters. Donating all four scrolls to the museum unlocks a special reward which allows players to understand the dwarf language and interact with the merchant inside the mines.
• The dinosaur egg can be incubated in a coop, similar to normal egg, to produce a dinosaur, which lays more dinosaur eggs when fully grown.
• Donating the Ancient Drum rewards the player with a Drum Block.
• Donating the Bone Flute rewards the player with a Flute Block.
• Donating the Chicken Statue rewards the player with a Chicken Statue for their home.
• Donating the prehistoric bone pieces rewards the player with the Sloth Skeleton pieces.
• Donating the Rare Disc rewards the player with the Burnt Offering.
