# Artifacts

**Artifacts** are an important part of the gameplay in FOLK, allowing players to summon Folks and unlock new opportunities in the game. Without artifacts, it is impossible to build a collection of Folks or use some of the key game mechanics. Artifacts come in various levels of rarity, ranging from common to legendary

## Where to find Artifacts?

There are several ways to obtain artifacts:

* **Egg hatching:** the main way to acquire artifacts is through egg hatching. The higher the egg's level, the better the chances of getting a rarer artifact
* **Shop:** artifacts can be purchased in the in-game shop
* **Daily rewards:** artifacts can be obtained by opening the daily reward chest

## Why you need Artifacts?

* **Summoning Folks:** specific sets of artifacts are required to summon Folks
* **Selling in the in-game Shop:** artifacts can be sold to other players in the shop, allowing you to earn F-points
* **Spells:** artifacts are used to craft spell recipes
