Would it be possible for the wise leaders of Elvenar to come up with a building where we could buy sell or swap our spare artifacts for many of us have more than enough for some but not enough for others

New type of Building for artifacts
- Thread starter Number one
- Start date
It may be worth checking our some of the prevous threads covering aspects of this suggestion, as we have many in the idea's and suggestions section.
The developers have said that this will never happen as Artifacts are deemed to be a rare thing within the game. They have however this year allowed for the Crafting options for some Artifacts (Phoenix and Bears) to enable old and new versions of these pets to be created. This has been very well received by our players, so that may lead to more occuring in the future.

or maybe list them at the end? judging by how hard it is to get the devs to move trades and visits into separate tabs maybe that's not their strong suit.@Silmaril -at least, can we have a separate tab for artifacts in the Inventory? They aren't Instants in any circumstances

Or is this suggestion slightly different? They've always said no to universal artefacts or artefact swapping (unless they decide), but is this more to do with having a building that eats old artefacts and produces something in return?

That could work, even at 5:1 if you could chose the end product.
Most players once they have maxed a building , disenchant the Artifacts @Alcaro so it would be most doubtul to increase the data further with something that most players would not utilise in the game.
Currently please do not forget that there is already a solution in game for surplus or unwanted Artifacts and that is disenchantment.
A building for Artifact creation or swapping has been requested ever since Artifacts of more than one type existed, with the developers responding to this as we have done here too. The middle ground being the Crafting options we have seen this year.

You know this for sure? I don't think I've come across anyone who's said they've disenchanted an artefact. Most people hold onto them in case there ends up being some use for them. There's no pressure to disenchant anything because most people have more than enough spell fragments and more than enough other useless junk to satisfy event quests.

If you playing in that brief period of time where crafting existed but the Spire did not, then yes.
If, however, the Spire does exist (and I think it does) then disenchanting has almost zero value and should be reserved for "Gain 600 SF" quests when you are too impatient to wait for the next spire.
The developers (and some mods
) seem to think that any solution no matter the flaws is a winner and that no more needs to be done.Remember when we begged for years for a way to use up our Broken Rune Shard bar? They gave us 3 MA recipes that are totally insufficient and called it done.

Well you know one of these years, they´ll come up with a new use for Spellfragments or (broken) rune shards or relics or... I kinda doubt they´ll do anything about the artifacts, there simply are not that many around. But if they gave us something to do with SF, disenchanting artifacts would be at least an option... if they included an option to disenchant relics and rune shards they´d solve all those problems in one swoop

Ummm, they instantly evolve an evolving building up one stage... So...@Silmaril -at least, can we have a separate tab for artifacts in the Inventory? They aren't Instants in any circumstances
Of course, without an alternative evolving route that ties up a builder for hours, it's harder to notice it as such...
How about adding a drop down selection to filter the contents by type (Artifacts, Coins, Supplies, etc.) like in the Trader?

The reason to move them to a different spot in the inventory is imo because they can't be used where they currently are.
You open your inventory and the first thing you see is all of your artifacts that you can do absolutely nothing with because this is the wrong spot to do so. Like timer & KP instants, you must close your inventory and go open up the target building, only then can you use that "instant".
I think the inventory should be split into at least 2 tabs. Call them what you like, but
"things that I can click on and use"
should be separate from"Things that I can only look at here"
I'm not sure that's faster than power clicking the next page button.
Dropdowns are especially poor for mobile interfaces.

I like where this is going, and back to the OP's idea.But if they gave us something to do with SF, disenchanting artifacts would be at least an option... if they included an option to disenchant relics and rune shards they´d solve all those problems in one swoop
The Alchemist building
At a cost of spell fragments and relics/artifacts/runes/shards this building produces thisthatandtheotherthing.
Basically, a second Magic Academy unlocked much later in the game that has totally new recipes.

Wasn't sayin' it wasn't. Just pointing out it's effect does take place in an instant, so yeah.
Looking through the items in my Instants Tab, I find the following:
Currently 8 types of Instants (9, if you add the invisible Blueprints), of which 4 (5) can not be used from the Tab.
I personally prefer the dropdown option, as it allows finer control with less first-level screen real estate taken up.
Looking through the items in my Instants Tab, I find the following:
| Usable from the Instants Tab | Unusable from the Instants Tab |
|---|---|
| Coin Rain | Upgrade Artifacts |
| Portal Profit | Ancient Knowledge |
| Supply Windfall | Royal Restoration |
| Troop Instants | Time Boost |

Do you ever play on mobile? More and more players do, and I think it's at the point where inno won't bother spending time or resources on features that don't play well on both platforms.
I think a split between "instants" and "boosts" along the lines your chart shows would basically solve the issue.
Edit:
I think there are only 8 types of coin, supply and PP, so 3 pages total followed by the troops instants
The boosts tab would have RR, BP, some artifacts, and a max of 2 pages of KP

It might be easier to just add another function to the MA, or a new tab as those seem to be all the rage
Adding a new building adds a lot of new questions: how to introduce it to the game? when and where? Putting it into chapter 18 is kinda pointless as most players will never get there. Adding it to earlier chapters is unlikely and adds problems, too.
Having it as an event building doesn´t work as it wouldn´t be available to everyone forever It would have to become craftable in the MA, which isn´t a very elegant solution either as you can see with the neverending problem and sillyness around the fire phoenix and its artifacts.
It could be a grandprize in the spire (since that is where most of the SF come from anyway) but it would then create the problem of multiples again, so not a good solution either. So it would need a whole new approach like a new mystery chest that only pops up if you don´t have the building or some such, but I doubt Inno wants to put down much effort on this.
Gifting a new building to everybody no matter where in the game they are? Must be non-disenchantable, otherwise people will loose it. Can´t be big otherwise newbies can´t place it.
So I don´t see any good way of adding a new building really, so back to the start: must be in the MA. Preferably in a new and different tab from the crafting recipes, it would get very messy if they added another whole bunch of recipes there. They could even take out all the non catalyst recipes from there and add them in with the new tab.
