What is an Antiquity in Wartales?

It belongs in a museum!

RPG Wartales is packed full of all the tropes we love, including large tactical battles, tombs to explore, and quests to complete. The reward for these endeavors is of course loot; you’ll find all kinds of items after battles, as quest or crafting rewards, or after research. While some items have an obvious use (e.g. equipment and food), I found other items aren’t immediately clear in their purpose, one of which is Antiquities. So, if you want to know what an Antiquity is in Wartales, read on.

Wartales Antiquities – What do they do?

Antiquities are discovered after a Scholar study of an item at the Lectern in your camp, usually after finding historical objects in tombs. Some of these become Legendary Items you can equip once researched, but others turn out to be Antiquities. These items can’t be equipped, only have a lore-based description, and usually have a selling value of around 30 to 50 Krowns (once researched). Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Antiquities have no practical use in the game and are essentially vendor trash. Compared to other items in the game, they have a pretty good sale price, however.

What are Trinkets in Wartales?

Trinkets are another type of item you can find in Wartales, often in chests and on corpses or sometimes as battle rewards. While usually a lot lower in value, Trinkets are also currently vendor trash. However, do be careful as some quest items you might find can look like trinkets.

Some players keep hold of both Trinkets and Antiquities. They don’t take up much weight allowance, so if you don’t need the money, you can of course keep hold of them. I’ve sold all of mine, but there is always a chance the developers patch a new mechanism into the game that uses them. However, for now, both Wartales Antiquities and Trinkets serve no practical purpose.
