List of Activatable Artifacts
For the full list of artifacts, see List of Artifacts.
Activatable Artifacts are artifacts that have some effect in the game, and are one of the few ways a god or goddess can interact with the game. They can be randomly acquired as trophies from defeated monsters, upon completion of quests and side jobs, from defeating bosses, by participating in the arena and adventures, or by crafting.

Combining artifacts with the same first letter can create another artifact with the same first letter. This list can guide deities attempting to craft activatable artifacts with specific effects, and can show the possible outcomes of a combination. Remember, there is no guarantee of getting a particular artifact or type of artifact as the result of crafting — The Great Random decides.

It has been noted that many of Godville's activatable artifacts fall into distinct groups with identical activation behavior. These classes of artifacts are named for what they do and are listed below.
| Key to Artifact Classes | |
|---|---|
| align | Makes good heroes more good and evil heroes more evil |
| arena | Sends hero to the arena |
| aura | Grants a new aura |
| black box | Has a variety of possible positive and negative outcomes |
| bonus | Grants a lot of gold and artifacts or possibly other rewards for completing a side job |
| booty | Sailing artifact that grants a lot of gold coins and bold and activatable artifacts and the occasional log for the Ark |
| boss | Begins aboveground boss fight |
| charge | Grants 1 accumulator charge |
| container | Grants other artifacts (up to 7) |
| dig | Places hero into queue for an underground boss fight |
| friend | Adds 1 new, randomly chosen friend |
| fuse | Fuses 3000gc together into a golden brick or lights a fuse on the current monster 😉 |
| GP | Grants an additional 50% GP |
| heal | Restores the hero to 100% health |
| invite | Grants 1 invite, allowing the god or goddess to add a specific friend |
| Midas | Turns one or more bold artifacts into golden bricks |
| mini-quest | Sets the hero or heroine off on a mini-quest |
| teleport | Instantly teleports the hero to a town |
| 🎁 | An artifact that may give a "pleasant surprise" (may not all be the same class) |
| 🎃 | Grants a collectible (may not both be the same class; may be a single, renamed artifact) |
| 💀 | Grave offering, obtainable only while dead |
Note that the reason the class "aura" specifies that the aura is new is that any existing aura will be overridden by the new aura granted by the artifact. The only known way to extend the duration of the current aura is to complete the Godville Times crossword.
Tribbles are a possible result from both black boxes and containers.
