The Poor Artifact Maker is a tower defense game based on Chinese fairy legends. The refiner has to explore the dangerous world in order to find his lost companion. The only way to overcome the endless ferocious beasts in the wilderness is to keep collecting materials to refine Artifacts
LingQi is a magical energy between heaven and earth, and the foundation of the entire Primordial World. Plants, trees, mountains, and stones, under the influence of LingQi, become Spiritual Materials; some even give birth to spiritual wisdom and become Monsters. Living beings absorb LingQi to strengthen themselves, adapting to the law of the jungle in the wilderness.
The Spiritual Materials in the Bag have a fatal attraction to Monsters, yet these materials are indispensable for artifact refining. Therefore, artifact refiners must do everything possible to resist Monsters and safely bring the materials back.
In the wilderness, LingQi is consumed to arrange Artifacts. While using Artifacts to defend against Monsters, one must also collect Spiritual Materials by mining different ores, trees, and other Spiritual Resources, which are used for artifact refining.
After successfully bringing back Spiritual Materials, artifact refiners can refine these materials into Artifacts. Each type of Artifact has different effects.
The higher the level of artifact refining, the higher the success rate of refining. Experience is gained after each refining, tempering the level of artifact refining.
