RAID: Shadow Legends: Artifact Forge Batch Crafting Guide

To acquire high-potential pieces and Mythical relics from the Artifact Forge in RAID: Shadow Legends, accumulate base materials and charms to craft in large batches rather than spending resources as soon as you earn them. Bulk crafting gives you enough attempts to absorb bad sub-stat rolls, apply specific Charms to every attempt, and build usable gear sets efficiently.

Pre-Session Checklist and Resource Preparation

Before starting an Artifact Forge run, verify that your inventory and material counts meet minimum thresholds. Crafting without adequate resources or storage leads to wasted materials and interrupted sessions.

Material Density: Accumulate enough base materials from high-level Dungeons and Clan Boss activity to attempt at least 50 to 100 crafts of a target set in a single run.
Charm Stockpile: Ensure you have enough Rank and Rarity Charms to apply to your crafts. Rarity and Rank Charms are the primary drivers for reaching high-tier pieces and Mythical relics; crafting without them drastically reduces your odds.
Inventory Space: Clear your gear storage prior to crafting. Reaching the inventory cap mid-session forces you to interrupt your run to sell items without proper evaluation.

If you lack sufficient materials or key Charms, stop crafting and resume farming Dungeons until your stock is restored.

Selecting Target Sets for Account Progression

Limit each session to two or three high-utility artifact sets that address your immediate progression bottlenecks. Distributing materials across too many sets yields incomplete gear combinations that do not provide set bonuses.

Focus Area	Goal	Set Selection Strategy
PvP (Arena)	Turn order and burst damage	Focus on sets providing Speed bonuses or specialized offensive stats.
PvE (Hydra / Iron Twins)	Team survival and utility	Focus on sets offering defensive passives, durability, or key sustain stats.

Check your active roster's gear requirements before locking in your choices to avoid crafting redundant pieces.

Post-Crafting Gear Review and Upgrade Sequence

Crafting in bulk generates a large volume of low-utility gear. Review every item after a session and prune your storage using a consistent evaluation process:

Filter and Compare Sub-Stats: Inspect new pieces immediately and filter out artifacts that lack essential primary or secondary stats for your target builds.
Apply the Three-Roll Rule: Upgrade promising pieces to level 3 or 6. If an artifact fails to land upgrades on its desired primary sub-stat within the first three roll opportunities, sell it immediately.
Reinvest Silver: Sell rejected artifacts to reclaim Silver, then use those funds to upgrade the remaining successful crafts to fill out your champions' gear slots.
