Example Data Table
| Artifact | Category | Current Level | Target Level | Growth Mode | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book of Shadows | Utility | 25 | 40 | Compounding | Prestige relic planning |
| Drunken Hammer | Damage | 18 | 32 | Additive | Tap damage comparison |

Formula Used
This calculator uses a flexible estimate model for artifact planning. It is designed for comparison, not official game balancing.
Total relic cost: base cost × growthFactor^currentLevel × ((growthFactor^levelsAdded - 1) ÷ (growthFactor - 1))
Growth factor: 1 + cost growth ÷ 100
Compounding target multiplier: currentMultiplier × (1 + effect growth ÷ 100)^levelsAdded
Additive target bonus: current bonus + levelsAdded × effect growth
Efficiency score: ((damage gain multiplier - 1) × priority weight ÷ total relic cost) × 1,000,000
How To Use This Calculator
- Enter the artifact name and choose the closest category.
- Add your current level and desired target level.
- Enter relic cost, cost growth, current bonus, and effect growth.
- Use priority weight to favor artifacts important to your build.
- Add expected prestige relics for forward planning.
- Press the calculate button to view relic cost and gain.
- Download the result as CSV or PDF for records.
Artifact Planning Guide
Why Artifact Efficiency Matters
Tap Titans 2 rewards careful relic spending. Artifacts can raise damage, gold, hero power, pet value, and utility. Yet every level has a cost. A strong artifact can still be weak when the next level is too expensive. This calculator helps compare cost against expected gain.
Using Levels With Relic Cost
Artifact upgrades usually feel cheap early. They become heavier as levels rise. The calculator models that pattern with a growth rate. You can enter a small rate for smooth scaling. You can enter a larger rate for steep scaling. This makes the tool useful for testing different upgrade plans.
Reading The Gain Score
The damage gain multiplier shows the estimated improvement from the current level to the target level. A value of 1.20x means a twenty percent gain. The efficiency score then compares that gain to relic cost. Higher scores suggest stronger value per relic.
Priority Weight For Builds
Not every artifact has the same value for every build. A Clan Ship build may prefer different upgrades than a Shadow Clone build. Priority weight lets you adjust this. Use a value above one for important artifacts. Use a value below one for lower priority artifacts.
Prestige Forecasting
Many players plan upgrades after several prestiges. The forecast fields estimate future relic supply. Add relics per prestige and planned prestige count. The result shows whether the target can be afforded now or after farming.
Best Practice
Run several artifacts through the same settings. Compare their efficiency scores. Upgrade the artifact with the strongest practical value first. Keep notes for your build. Export your results when testing long farming sessions. This keeps your progression plan clear and consistent.
FAQs
1. What does this artifact calculator estimate?
It estimates relic cost, target bonus, damage gain, affordability, and upgrade efficiency. It helps compare artifact choices before spending relics.
2. Is this an official Tap Titans 2 tool?
No. It is a planning calculator using adjustable formulas. Always compare its output with your in-game values before making final upgrades.
3. What is priority weight?
Priority weight lets you value artifacts by build importance. Use higher values for core artifacts and lower values for optional artifacts.
4. Should I use additive or compounding mode?
Use additive mode for simple percent increases. Use compounding mode when each level multiplies the previous effect.
5. What does efficiency per million relics mean?
It shows weighted gain compared with relic cost. Higher values usually mean better upgrade value for your current plan.
6. Can this calculator handle future prestiges?
Yes. Enter relics per prestige and planned prestiges. The calculator adds them to your current relic amount.
7. Why is my upgrade marked low efficiency?
The relic cost may be high compared with the estimated gain. Try a smaller target level or compare another artifact.
8. Can I export my artifact result?
Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet records. Use the PDF button for a printable upgrade summary.
