SEASON 3 · MAP & EXPLORATION

Desert Artifacts & Sphinx Oases

Hidden rewards revealed by greenification.

ScopeGolden Realm

Quick read

Greenification is also treasure discovery. Artifacts appear when tiles turn green; Sphinx locations become claimable Oases when their surrounding land is unlocked.

Artifact flow

Each commander can collect up to 5 Artifacts per day; each Artifact can be claimed once per person.

The Season 3 map contains 10 hidden Sphinx locations.

  1. Greenify eligible land.
  2. Watch for an Artifact reveal.
  3. Send a Recon Plane to collect it.
  4. Share the location while it is useful to alliance members.
  5. Stop at the daily five-Artifact claim limit.

Facts

  • Season 3 confirms Artifacts reveal when tiles are greenified and Recon Planes collect them.
  • Each commander can collect up to 5 Artifacts per day; each Artifact can be claimed once per person.
  • The Season 3 map contains 10 hidden Sphinx locations.
  • Sphinx gifts are personal claims and become available when the relevant land is greenified in Season 3.

BlackBar Gaming recommends

  • Share artifact and Sphinx finds immediately so alliance members can route efficiently.
  • Use the Build an Oasis artifact list/count to see whether a region still has undiscovered rewards.

Watch out

  • Do not embed old coordinate lists as universal truth without validating the target map/version.

Sphinx distinction

Sphinx/Oasis gifts are not governed by the same one-person artifact claim behavior. Each activated Sphinx location provides an individual claim for eligible players.

Artifact vs Sphinx/Oasis

ArtifactSphinx / Oasis gift
RevealAppears as eligible tiles are greenifiedBecomes available when the relevant hidden location is greenified
CollectionRecon PlaneIndividual player claim
Daily ruleUp to 5 Artifacts per commanderNot the same five-Artifact cap
Alliance valueShare the location quicklyShare activation/location so eligible members can claim

Routing implication: greenification is simultaneously progression and scouting. A region that looks strategically complete can still contain undiscovered reward value.
