Days of endlessly farming Artifacts are now over with the new Artifact Transmuter gadget.
Genshin Impact developers HoYoverse finally added the ability to make and customize Artifact pieces with the Artifact Transmuter gadget and new Sanctifying Elixir consumable. Read ahead for a step-by-step guide on how you can do this.
Everything happens within the new "Artifact Transmuter" gadget. If you have already progressed substantially in Genshin Impact, chances are this gadget is waiting to be claimed.
How to get the Artifact Transmuter
- Access the Adventurer's Handbook
- Go to the "Embattle" tab
- Claim the Artifact Transmuter under the mission "Obtain a total of 25 5-star Artifacts."
Using the Artifact Transmuter
You can open the interface for the gadget by going into your inventory and selecting "Use" directly. The Artifact Transmuter has two parts: Artifact Definition and Artifact Extraction.
Making your Artifact in Genshin Impact
You can do this in the Artifact Transmuter gadget's Artifact Definition tab. Defining Artifacts has a cost and limit. More on this in the section below.
- Select the Artifact Set from the left side.
- Select the desired Artifact Piece from the right panel.
- Note that each Piece has a different cost.
- Define the Main Affix and up to two Minor Affixes for the Artifact.
- Click "Define."
The cost for Defining each Artifact Piece is as follows:
- Flower of Life: 1 Sanctifying Elixir
- Plume of Death: 1 Sanctifying Elixir
- Sands of Eon: 2 Sanctifying Elixir
- Goblet of Eonothem: 4 Sanctifying Elixir
- Circlet of Logos: 3 Sanctifying Elixir
There is a restriction of 1 definition for each Artifact Set per cycle. For example, if I define an Artifact from the "Obsidian Codex" set in version 5,0, the next time I can do this is on version 5.1. However, I can still Define an Artifact from the "Golden Troupe" set in version 5.0.
