Item Guide
- Available as an event reward in the Tournament of Power.
- A selectable reward chest, not a loot box or matryoshka-style item.
- Beginning in 2025, selecting items that have multiple non-purchase acquisition methods offers the best bang for the buck. Conversely, choosing items with limited or low cost acquisition methods tends to be less efficient.
- This chest presents a tough choice for players – do they choose a small amount of highly desirable items, or a larger amount of less important items?
- One exception is the Huge EXP Potion, which is widely considered a dud reward. Even beginners looking for gold and potions are better off choosing gold and buying potions from the town shop instead.
Recommendation
- For these reasons, it is difficult to make a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
- From a long-term perspective, the Absolute Artifact Chest and the Wish Insignia are the easier choices. However, if you’re looking to make a short-term contribution to your guild, Bottled Energy is a better choice.

artifacts are worth a lot more due to hero wars guide. 180 per chest
insignia and crystals as well, see here: https://hero-wars-guide.web.app/preferences/resources/46
The value is based on the use of emeralds in the Artifact Chest. A study was conducted on Artifact Chest openings both before and after the introduction of Red Artifacts, with a sample size of over 10,000. When red artifacts have this value, the pre and post ratings remain highly consistent. In addition, their value is twice that of Orange artifacts. From a user’s perspective, Red artifacts may seem many times more important than Orange artifacts, but in terms of Emerald conversion, this is not the correct way to evaluate them. Emerald conversion is not about the intrinsic value of an item; it is about how many emeralds are required to obtain it.
and so is this: https://hero-wars-guide.web.app/preferences/resources/15
making red artifacts 32-36 to obtain. possibly worth more due to the extreme scarcity…
what I’m saying is that the value here is definitely way too low, making them seem less attractive than they are, even from that perspective. And that doesnt even take into account scarcity.
Red artifacts are the best to take from this for sure.
The game is designed so that perceived value does not always match actual cost.
Scarcity plays a key role in shaping perceived value, similar to market pricing.
Three key pieces of in-game data indicate that the difference in value between Orange AF and Red AF should not be too great – certainly not more than double:
– Artifact Chest Analysis : A comparison of drop rates before and after the introduction of Red AF.
– Exchange Rate : The exchange rate between Red AF and Orange AF in the game.
– Event Shop Pricing : The cost difference between Red AF and Orange AF for limited time events.

While rarity increases the perceived value, it does not change the actual acquisition cost.
I completely understand your point of view. Personally, I also consider Orange AF to be worth 0 Emeralds.
However, following that logic, anything that doesn’t contribute to Red AF or Pattern would also be worth zero emeralds.
To me, both Skin Stones and Eternal Seeds are currently valued below Gold.
However, I don’t think it’s appropriate to give them such extreme values.
There are always many newcomers in this game, and they can be a force strong enough to ban Yasmine in Cosmic Battles.
Your past experience should remind you that their perceived value may differ slightly from your own.
With that in mind, I prefer to discuss this in terms of cost rather than value.
Raw emerald COST of 3 red artifact chests is 3*5*32=480, at least. Or 3*5*36=540…
As for value, probably even more, due to the difficulty obtaining this.
