The rings
Initially the rings are required to be able to hire your heroes. After that the only thing you can do is level them up. Unlike the craft-able artifacts and like the drop-able artifacts, the only way to level them up is by finding them. You can them by doing quests or opening chests.

The maximum level a ring can have is 100. Every level will grant to +1 to runestones gained per loop. Note: The ring has to be equiped in order to receive that bonus. For every 10 levels your hero will receive 1 extra skill-point.

Next to giving a bonus, there is one other thing the rings do. Albeit just a visual thing. As you keep finding more rings and its level rises, it will also change its appearance. There are five stages of appearance. Common, uncommon, rare, legendary and Mythic.

Upgrading and crafting your artifacts
To either craft or upgrade your artifacts, you need to go to The CRAFT GOLEM: The artifact master. He's in charge of keeping your artifacts safe, craft, upgrade or demolish them.

In order to craft an artifact, you need an x amount of runestones and the amount of runestones required to craft one increases after each crafted artifact, as is shown below.

Crafting
Crafting is done randomly and there is no choice as to which one you would like. After you have crafted an artifact, you are presented with a window to either accept the artifact or "re-roll". This re-rolling does not mean 'try to get better stats', but to craft another random artifact (the current one included). This re-rolling isn't free either and costs gems. General advice is to just stick with the artifact you got, because you will get it in the end anyway and you can spend your gems for better things. However, it's still your choice.

Upgrading
The upgrade process is plain and simple. If you have the amount of runestones required to upgrade an artifact, the "UPGRADE" button will be blue, if not, then it will be gray. Press the upgrade button and your artifact will increase with one level. Note the numbers on the bottom, those are the other pages. Each page will display 4 artifacts and there is no sorting possible. So before you upgrade the first visible artifact, it may be worth checking out the other pages to see if there isn't a better artifact to upgrade.

Demolishing
As you may have guessed, demolishing means to destroy the artifact. This also costs gems and for a good reason. When an artifact is destroyed, you receive 100% of the runestones invested in it. Both the crafting cost and the cost for upgrading. The cost of demolishing (gems) depends on the amount of runestones you will receive from it.

Seeing as demolishing doesn't earn you anything and only costs gems, it is not advised to demolish your artifact. With ONE exception. The chronosphere. This is the only artifact that will return more than you put into it. Next to giving you bonus runestones, it also stores the same amount you recieve, up to a certain point. The current chronosphere has a soft-cap capacity of 10,000 RS. The soft-cap means it will stop adding more as soon as it reaches the 10k. Should you have 9999 runestones stored and received an additional 5000 RS, then the chronosphere will store 14,999 RS.

Should you think about demolishing the chronosphere, then please note that the artifact is lost and should you want it again, you will need to purchase it in the shop again for 500 gems. Demolishing will cost 100 gems. So should you decide to demolish and want a new one, you will need to have 600 gems ready.
