The truth of the world after the fall of the gods can only be discovered by the heroes with the help of the legendary mage Merlin. You, as that mage, will accompany them on their journey and provide your best support to strengthen them, which means utilizing everything from spells to equipment. The Artifacts in AFK Journey are the spells that provide special battle buffs to heroes, making them crucial for progress; however, you have to unlock them.
Once you have the spells, you will need to collect the echo shards to upgrade them. This will be a long process if you don’t know where to get those. That is why this will guide you through all the ways to unlock and level up the Artifact Spells.
How to Get Artifacts in AFK Journey
You get the Artifact Spells mainly through the Main Quests and Legend Trail. There are six spells: Confining Spell, Starshard Spell, Enlightening Spell, Awakening Spell, Blazing Spell, and Ironwall Spell. Each one provides different kinds of buffs and effects in the battle. Some are suited for the arena, while some are best for the boss fights and AFK stages. Nonetheless, all are worth getting and upgrading.
The Awakening Spell is the starter artifact, while others unlock as you progress in the story. For example, the Starshard Spell is a reward for completing Lucent’s Lament Story Quest of the Dark Forest map. Once you have the spell, head to the Resonating Hall. Go into the Artifacts, select the new one, and press Activate to unlock it.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Artifacts Bundles from the Trolley to unlock their spiritual powers. Welcome bundles have the best price, so if you plan to buy them, do so before they reset.
How to Get Echoes and Upgrade Spells
The echo shards are obtained from various sources, including the main story, side quests, AFK Stage battles, Dream Realm, Arena, and defeating corrupt creatures. The higher the level of difficulty, the better the chance of this drop. Apart from the shards, you must also collect some money to level up the spells. When you have both of these, head to the Artifacts section of Resonating Hall and select the one you wish to upgrade. Now, you will see the Level Up button; use it to enhance its powers.
With this, we conclude how to get Artifacts in AFK Journey and find the echo shards to upgrade them. If this was interesting, you should check out our other guides, like how to get Acorns and add friends.
