As you explore the diverse environments of Coral Island, from the lush forests to the mysterious depths of the ocean and the treacherous levels of the Caverns, you'll uncover several artifacts. These artifacts are not just collectibles; they are pieces of the island's history and are vital for completing the Museum's collections. Donating these items not only helps the town rank up but also provides valuable rewards and insights into the island's past.
Artifacts from the Caverns
The Caverns are a primary source for many of Coral Island's artifacts. As you descend deeper into the Fire Shaft and Ice Shaft, you'll encounter different types of ore veins and treasure chests. bring your pickaxe and be prepared to break open any chests you find, as they often contain valuable artifacts. Some common artifacts found here include:
- Ancient Tools: Remnants of past civilizations that used the island.
- Pottery Shards: Fragments of ancient ceramics.
- Fossils: Remains of prehistoric creatures that once roamed Coral Island.
- Gems: While primarily valuable for crafting and selling, some rare gems might also be considered artifacts.
The deeper you go, the rarer and more valuable the artifacts you are likely to find.
Artifacts from Ocean Diving
Cleaning up the ocean pollution is not only crucial for the island's health but also for uncovering submerged treasures. As you dive and remove trash, keep an eye out for items that wash ashore or are hidden within the seabed. These can include:
- Seashells: Various types of shells, some of which might be rare collectibles.
- Shipwreck Debris: Pieces of old ships that may contain unique artifacts.
- Lost Jewelry: Items dropped by previous inhabitants or visitors.
- Bottled Messages: Occasionally, you might find messages in bottles that contain lore or even hints to hidden locations.
The Merfolk Kingdom, once accessible, may also yield unique artifacts specific to their civilization.
Artifacts from Foraging and Fishing
Even simple activities like foraging in the forests and fishing in the rivers and ocean can yield surprising finds. While less common than in the Caverns or ocean, certain artifacts can be discovered:
- Foraged Artifacts: Sometimes, rare items can be found amongst the bushes and trees, especially during specific seasons or events.
- Fishing Treasures: While fishing primarily yields fish, you can occasionally catch treasure chests or unique items that are considered artifacts.
Donating to the Museum
Once you've collected artifacts, head to the Museum in Starlet Town. The curator will accept your donations. Completing an entire collection of artifacts (e.g., all pottery shards, all fossils) will grant you sificant rewards, including town rank points and unique items. Keep a checklist of the artifacts you've found and those you still need to complete each set.
