Artifacts Guide - Anime Origins Wiki
Learn how to get and use artifacts in Anime Origins — farming routes, refining, crafting and synergies with traits and evolutions.
Overview
Artifacts are collectible items in Anime Origins that power crafting and progression. You farm them from the Legend Stages of each world, refine them to raise drop rates, and spend them at crafting NPCs on special units. This guide covers every farming route, the KGR artifact set, and how artifacts combine with traits and units.

Watch the best methods for farming artifacts, trait rerolls and gems in Anime Origins. The video walks through repeatable Legend Stage farming, artifact refining, and the fastest ways to stockpile rerolls for your strongest units. Combine it with our traits guide to build a perfect reroll strategy.
What Are Artifacts?
Artifacts are split across worlds, and each Legend Stage drops specific pieces. The KGR set in Karakura Town, for example, is required to craft Stark at the crafting NPC. Always refine your artifacts before farming so the drop rate increases, then replay the stage until you collect every piece you need.
Artifacts also feed the trait and evolution systems. Evolved units equipped with strong artifacts perform much better in Story Mode, Infinite Mode and Raids. Use our meta units list to pick the best targets, and spend gems on rerolls so every artifact matches the right trait.
KGR Artifact Drop Sources
Below is a quick reference for the KGR artifacts and their drop sources. Each Legend Stage in Karakura Town drops one fixed piece, so plan your farming route around these three items before you craft Stark at the NPC. Keep this table open while you farm to track which act you still need to clear.
| KGR Artifact | Source | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| KGR 1 — Blade | Karakura Town Act 1 Legend Stage | Crafting Stark |
| KGR 2 — Eye Patch | Karakura Town Act 2 Legend Stage | Crafting Stark |
| KGR 3 — Pistols | Karakura Town Act 3 Legend Stage | Crafting Stark |
How to Farm Artifacts
Farming artifacts takes planning. First unlock the Legend Stages for the world you need, then refine your artifacts at the upgrade station to boost drop rates. Bring strong evolved units and a friend if you can, because these stages punish under-leveled teams — check the meta units list before you queue.
Repeat the stage until the piece you need drops, then move on to the next act. Most players farm in a loop, upgrading their units with gold between runs. Watch the drop counter and stay patient, because some pieces take many attempts.
Once you own every artifact, take them to the crafting NPC to build special units such as Stark. Artifacts also matter for general progression, so always refine and equip your best pieces before attempting hard content like Raids or the toughest secret units hunts.

Artifact Uses
Artifacts combine with the traits and evolution systems to define your endgame loadout. Below are the main ways artifacts power up your account and where each one fits in your progression, from crafting materials to passive bonuses on your strongest units.
Focus your artifact farming on the pieces that support your current meta units, then reroll traits to match their strengths and playstyle. See the secret units guide for the strongest endgame targets and check the unit tier list to confirm your priorities.
Crafting
Artifacts are the crafting materials behind special units like Stark and Yuta.
Power
Refined artifacts make your units hit harder in Raids and Infinite Mode.
Rerolls
Trade spare artifacts for trait rerolls and stat prisms to perfect your units.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get artifacts in Anime Origins?
Farm the Legend Stages of each world in Story Mode. Each stage drops a fixed artifact piece, and refining the artifact first raises the drop rate so you complete the set faster.
What are KGR artifacts used for?
KGR artifacts from Karakura Town are crafting materials for Stark. Collect the blade, eye patch and pistols from the three Legend Stages, then craft him at the NPC.
Should I refine artifacts before farming?
Yes. Refining raises the drop rate of the artifact, which saves you many stage repeats. Always refine your artifacts before you start a farming session.
Do artifacts work with traits and evolutions?
Yes. Artifacts power crafting and progression, while traits such as Looting and Hustler boost income and range. Combine both for the strongest endgame builds.
Can I farm artifacts solo?
Technically yes, but Legend Stages are hard with an under-leveled team. Bring evolved units or party up with friends to farm artifacts much faster.
What should I spend rerolls on?
Spend trait rerolls on your strongest units first, ideally secrets and meta mythics. Check the traits guide for the best traits before you reroll.
