EXP Cost and How to Level Artifacts Efficiently
Artifacts are one of the most powerful tools in Infinity Kingdom. They boost your Immortals with massive stat increases, provide unique bonuses, and can make or break your march’s performance in PvP and PvE content. But beyond simply crafting them, players often underestimate the importance of leveling these artifacts — a process that takes time, resources, and strategic planning.
In this guide, we’ll explore why artifacts matter, how artifact leveling works, the EXP requirements for each level, how to farm artifact EXP, and a strategy for leveling efficiently to maximize your power without wasting precious resources.
Why Artifacts Are So Important
Artifacts provide:
- Flat Attribute Increases: Each level adds significant Attack, Defense, or other attributes to your Immortal.
- Special Bonuses: Properly crafted artifacts with the right attribute rolls (like Attack %, Crit %, and with the right bonuses) can drastically improve your Immortal’s performance.
- Scaling Power: Artifacts get progressively stronger as you level them, making them a core part of late-game progression.
Simply put: artifacts are one of the biggest single power spikes you can give your Immortals. They directly impact how hard your skills hit, how durable your frontline is, and whether you can compete against top players.
Artifact Leveling: How It Works
Artifacts start at Level 0 when crafted. To improve their stats, you need Artifact EXP, which you gain by dismantling other artifacts.
Here’s the EXP value per dismantled artifact:
- Green (Common): 10 EXP
- Blue (Rare): 30 EXP
- Purple (Epic): 100 EXP
- Orange (Legendary): 300 EXP
You’ll get these artifacts mainly from crafting at the Forge, as well as events like Mysterium, recurring calendar events, and some seasonal events.
Artifact Leveling Requirements
Here’s how much EXP you need per level:
| Level | EXP Required |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 30 |
| 3 | 50 |
| 4 | 70 |
| 5 | 90 |
| 6 | 110 |
| 7 | 130 |
| 8 | 150 |
| 9 | 170 |
| 10 | 190 |
| 11 | 340 |
| 12 | 390 |
| 13 | 470 |
| 14 | 550 |
| 15 | 630 |
Total EXP to Max (Level 15): 3380 EXP
How to Farm Artifact EXP
To upgrade artifacts, you’ll need a steady source of bad artifacts to dismantle:
- Forge Transmutations:
- Use resources in the Forge to craft artifacts. Most rolls will be suboptimal, so break them down for EXP.
- Events & Calendar:
- Participate in recurring events like Mysterium and seasonal events to get artifact fragments.
- Treasure Stores:
- Seasonal event shops often include artifact selection chests — always prioritize these when available.
Tip: If you craft an artifact with terrible rolls, don’t keep it — dismantle it and feed it into a good artifact for EXP.
Leveling Strategy: How to Level Efficiently
Artifact leveling is expensive. You need 3380 EXP to max a single artifact, which is a LOT of dismantled crafts. That’s why you need to prioritize which artifacts to level first.
Here’s the recommended progression:
- Level Damage Dealer Artifacts First
- Your carries (e.g., Wu, Alex, Himiko) benefit most from artifact levels because their damage output directly wins fights.
- Reach Level 10 Quickly
- Leveling from 0 → 10 costs just 1000 EXP. This gives huge power for relatively cheap.
- Craft Artifacts for Every Immortal
- Even bad ones — they still provide base stats. Replace later.
- Upgrade Your DPS to 15
- After getting all artifacts to 10, push your main damage dealer’s artifact to Level 15.
- Support & Tanks Stay at Level 10 (for now)
- Damage dealers should be maxed first. Support and tank upgrades beyond 10 are only worth it for whales.
Why This Matters
Leveling artifacts correctly ensures that your power gains are front-loaded where they matter most — on Immortals who decide fights. Maxing out a tank artifact before your DPS is a waste of resources.
This approach ensures:
- Maximum efficiency per EXP spent.
- Biggest combat impact early on.
- Balanced growth across all your marches.
Conclusion
Artifacts are a long-term progression system in Infinity Kingdom — they aren’t just about crafting, but about carefully leveling and optimizing them for your most important Immortals.
TL;DR:
- Prioritize leveling damage dealer artifacts first.
- Get all artifacts to Level 10 for efficient power gains.
- Push your main DPS artifact to Level 15 when you can afford it.
- Dismantle bad artifacts for EXP — don’t let them sit idle.
- Farm Mysterium, events, and use the Forge to keep the EXP coming.
If you follow this plan, you’ll see huge improvements in PvP and PvE performance without wasting valuable resources.
