Mechanics

Stash and containers

Artifacts and containers: where they come from, what they do and the chance of every container reward.

Your stash holds single-use artifacts and containers. An artifact does one thing, to a planet or to your whole account, when you use it. A container holds a few rewards drawn from its table when you open it.

Where they come from

  • The bonus streak: a container every 7 days in a row.
  • Adventures: a 5% chance at a container.
  • Hunts: drops and boss rewards (Hunts and bosses).
  • The premium shop, for the artifacts it sells.
  • The admins, for events.

Containers

ContainerTierRewards per openingHow you get it
Supply crateCommon1 to 2Earned on every 7th day of the daily bonus streak.
Salvage crateRare2 to 3Found on adventures.
Relic crateEpic3 to 5Granted by the admins and, later, by the hunt.
Alliance crateCommon1 to 2Bought in the alliance shop with contribution points.

Every reward in a container is drawn on its own, so a container that holds several rewards can hold the same kind twice.

Questions

Do stash items expire?

No. An artifact or a container waits in your stash until you use or open it.

Can I see what a container holds before I open it?

The tables below list every reward a container can hold and its chance per reward, read from the game.
