Getting Dust in Sailor Piece is easy, but it’s a bit of a hidden feature. It took me a while to work out how to obtain it myself. Artifacts are a necessary addition to your character build in Sailor Piece.
Sailor Piece Dust
Dust is a required item when levelling up your Artifacts. Sailor Piece isn’t clear about how to actually get this Dust, though. It’s worth upgrading your best Artifacts to make the most of the additional buffs, including the main stats and sub-stats.
If you’re reading this guide, you’ve probably already unlocked the Artifacts feature. But if not, all you need to do is head to Snow Island to find the Artifact NPC. The unlock requirements are reaching level 2,500, 500K Gold, and 500 Gems.
How to Get Dust
The single way of getting Dust in Sailor Piece is by deleting unwanted Artifacts. If you’re not sure about which Artifacts you have, you can visit Snow Island to speak with the Artifacts NPC.
Here, you can take a look at all the Artifacts you’ve obtained so far, whilst also equipping those you want, and deleting those you don’t need. The latter rewards you with Dust, which you can then use to level up your Artifacts.
The game asks you again if you want to delete the Artifact, as this cannot be undone, so don’t worry about accidentally clicking an Artifact you actually want to keep.
Do You Need to Level Up Artifacts?
You can reap the benefits of Artifacts by levelling them up, so it’s definitely worth doing. As you collect more Artifacts, you earn various rewards, such as rerolls for your Traits, Race, and Haki Color.
Depending on the Artifacts you have, you can unlock permanent buffs for the following stats:
DMG
DEF / Flat DEF
Crit DMG (Sub-stat)
Crit Chance (Sub-stat)
HP Regen (Sub-stat)
Lifesteal (Sub-stat)
DMG Reduction
Every Artifact has one or more main stats and at least one sub-stat. So, as you use Dust, your can boost these stats even further.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get New Artifacts?
All Artifacts can be dropped by enemies at random. This counts for all enemy types, including bosses and regular mobs. You’ll passively obtain Artifacts as you play the game.
How Do Artifact Sets Work?
There are 5 Artifact Sets to collect in Sailor Piece, and equipping at least 2 Artifacts of the same set grants you a 2-piece buff. You can improve this by equipping 4 of the same set to unlock the 4-piece buff.
Depending on the Artifact type, the main stats differ. Artifacts include the following:
Body
Buffs any stat
Helmet
Buffs Flat DEF or DEF
Boots
Buffs DMG, DEF, DMG Reduction or Flat DEF
Another way to boost your stats is by Ascending. This is an endgame feature, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re hitting a bit of a roadblock. Each Ascension requires items and milestones, and in return, you unlock buffs for your Gold gain, Gem gain, Cooldown Reduction, and Luck stats.
