Fairy tale characters

In the far corners of the Land of Clones, five fairytale characters live: the Babbling Head, Baba Yaga, the Creaking Snag, the Ghoul, and Koschei. You can offer them assistance on the “Fairytale Characters” page (Business → “Fairytale Characters”).

Friendship with fairy-tale characters#

Residents with the “Craftsman” social status and above can cultivate friendships with fairytale characters, gifting them resources and stats. Characters sometimes trick and taunt merchants, hiding the gold they win in secret hiding places. For befriending these characters, your clones receive income in gold coins. The greater the contribution, the greater the rewards.

Befriending a character means gifting it a certain amount of resources. The character may also offer a magical artifact. The resource reserve can be used to bid on the character’s offer at an auction. Winning the auction grants the player a magical artifact, which can be used or sold.

Offers from fairy-tale characters#

To receive an offer, you must win it at the Fairytale Auction. Once won, the offer is displayed on a special page.

Magic artifacts#

An artifact is a magical item that temporarily or permanently increases a clone’s special skills. More skills allows one to receive bonuses at government enterprises and attain higher positions. An artifact can be sold or purchased at the fair.

Artifacts can be used by clones with the “Craftsman” status and above. There are four artifacts for each skill type: headdress, a brooch, a cape, and an item. Each clone can equip up to four artifacts, one for each area of wear. Two artifacts from the same area cannot be equipped.

The artifact takes effect after being equipped. It can be used at a government enterprise and add special skills. Its initial durability is 31 days, its duration is 30 days, and it is reduced only when equipped by a clone. Every 24 hours, permanent skills are added (100-500, randomly).

An artifact cannot be removed for 25 hours. When removed, temporary skill are removed, but accumulated skills remain. When re-equipped, temporary skills are added and grow according to the artifact’s rules. When the artifact’s durability expires, the artifact disappears, and temporary skills are subtracted.

Skills gain from artifacts#

Each day wearing the artifact increases your temporary skills in arithmetic progression. On the first day, +40, the second +80, the third +120, and so on. The maximum bonus on the last day is +1200.

Table. Skills accrual

Wearing dayBonus for a dayGeneral increase
Day 140+40
Day 280+120
Day 3120+240
Day 301200+18,600

Formula for calculating the total bonus:

\( B = ( 40 • (1 + X) / 2 ) • Х \)

where \( X \) is the ordinal number of the day.

Temporary skills are not taken into account where a skills limit is required or where it is spent, for example, when increasing a military rank.
