A guide on how to craft the best artifacts in Solo Leveling: Arise.
Just like most good Gacha games, Solo Leveling: Arise is a fun game if you get into it, but it can also get a bit tricky at times, especially when it comes to crafting artifacts. This guide will show you the best objects to craft and the smartest ways to improve your builds.
I’ll also talk about the anniversary codes, the events where you can change things, and some of the best moments you can access during this time.
This breakdown will make sure that your hunters hit harder, last longer, and shine where it means most, no matter how long you’ve been playing or how new you are.
The Limited Tickets Problem
Crafting efforts are rather limited, despite the power of artifacts. This is all you’ll get:
- One free ticket from the event benefits when you log in
- 2 tickets from tasks that happen every week (clear 20 gates every week for two weeks)
- One ticket from Essence Stones
- 1 ticket from the extra prizes
That only gets you three to five free making tickets for the whole event. Every single one is valuable, and wasting them on the wrong items or stats can set your account back weeks.
The Biggest Artifact Crafting Mistakes
These are the most frequent mistakes that waste time, money, and tickets:
- Not making the right slot – If you can help it, stay away from chest and glove pieces. It’s easy to guess that their main stat bonuses won’t have much of an effect.
- Not paying attention to subsets—An artifact’s value is lost when the wrong subset stats are rolled for (flat instead of percentage when it counts).
- Not getting the bundle—For 500 Essence Stones, you get 500,000 gold, two summons, and an item of your choice. You would be very wrong to skip this.
- Not paying attention to meta sets—Don’t waste passes on old or weak sets. Pay attention to the current meta favorites.
Best Sets to Craft
When deciding what to make, choose sets that are useful in the meta and can be used by a lot of hunters. At the moment, the best suggestions are:
- Infamy (Defense Set): This is a must-have as more hunters level up their defense.
- Arm Set: This set is very strong in group boss fights and battles with a lot of tanks.
- The Obsidian and Expert Sets are both good options, based on the hunters you have.
- Curse Set: This is a good starting point if you’re missing some core DPS items.
Hunters are being made with defense-scaling in mind more and more, so making sets that focus on defense will pay off in the long run.
Best Artifact Slots to Craft
Item spots are not all the same. Focus on the variable slots that give you the best chance of getting key stats and subsets that will change the game:
- Boots: These have flexible stats that are important for making your hunts unique.
- Helmets are another adjustable item that you should consider purchasing.
- Rings: They are hard to farm naturally, and their stats change a lot.
Like rings, bracelets are very hard to find, which makes handcrafted ones very valuable.
If you don’t have a set piece, don’t wear gloves and body armor. Their stats are easier to guess and don’t offer as much potential.
Flat vs. Percentage Stats – The Golden Rule
People often don’t understand where to put flat vs. percentage stats when making artifacts:
- The main stat (top row) should be a flat number.
- As shown in the bottom row, percentage stats should be grouped.
- Why? Because percentage scaling works better in groups. It’s possible for an artifact glove with attack % as a subset to roll up to 31.89%, but only 25.55% if attack % is the main number.
For your best hunters, that extra scaling makes a big difference.
The Reality of Perfect Artifacts
It takes a lot of luck and hundreds of thousands of chips to make the right artifact. When you reroll a subset, the results are completely random, and most of the pieces will not be perfect.
This is often the dream combination:
- Attack %
- Attack in Flat Mode
- Rate of Criticism
- More damage done
But in all honesty, you’ll waste a lot of chips trying to get this. The key is to be patient. Lock good rolls and improve them during change events, when the chances of getting a new roll are higher.
Modification Event – Your Second Chance
Along with the making event, the modification event gives you more chances to make your stats just right. Here’s where you should:
- For hunters who want to level up, reroll bad groups into crit rate, attack %, or defense %.
- To increase the number, use enhancement.
- Do it again and again until you get close to what you want.
Even a small improvement made during modification can change how an item works in a big way.
Hunter-Specific Artifact Tips
Different hunters do better with different stat objectives. Here are some quick tips:
- Leard and Defense-Scalers say that Defense % should be the most important stat, with Critical Hit and Defense Penetration being important subsets.
- DPS Hunters, like Jinu, should pay attention to Attack %, Crit Rate, and Damage Increase.
- Hybrid Units- Find the right balance between offensive and defensive groups to stay alive (HP/Defense %).
- Don’t try to get the “best stats” for your hunter; instead, make sure that the objects you use fit their scaling.
- Extra Rewards: 500-Day Celebration Bonuses
The 500-day event is full of free stuff, not just artifacts:
- 5 billion gold
- 15 pieces of transcendent runes
- Legendary elements for making things
- Special boxes for events
Even though artifacts are the best part, these extra prizes make the grind a lot more fun. During this event window, don’t skip any jobs or daily tasks.
The Best Cutscenes – Mission Completion
Here are the three most important moments you should not miss as part of your missions:
- Korean vs. Japanese Hunters is a gem from before the anime era that features a jaw-dropping fight between Kanye and Cha.
- During the fight between Igris and Rein, Baron showed them the Demon King’s Daggers, which made the fight memorable.
- Esso and Jinu play tag team. This is a big moment where Esso shows why she’s one of the best waifus by backing Jinu in style.
Even if you’ve seen these scenes before, they’re worth seeing again because they show off the great graphics and story that are built into the game.
Conclusion: Don’t Waste Your Crafting Chances
Crafting artifacts is one of the most satisfying and difficult parts of the game. Every choice is important because there are only a limited number of tickets available, and rerolls are costly.
Don’t forget:
- Pay attention to the rings, wristbands, boots, and helmets.
- Stack flat stats on top and percentage stats below them.
- Give meta sets like Infamy and Arm more weight.
- You can improve your best pieces by using the change event.
Add to that the cool prizes, supporter codes, and giveaways from the 500-day celebration, and you’ll be better than ever. Don’t miss this chance—act now to get your artifacts before the event stops.
