The Chief's Ultimate Guide to Antiques for Age of Origins

Antiques: what are they and how do they work?

Quite simply, antiques are a type of troop equipment. They boost a variety of stats across the game. Antiques come in three classifications: Legendary, Epic and Rare.

The reason to bother: antiques give your troops permanent combat boosts, including damage increase and damage reduction, the most important stats in the game. They stack on top of everything else you've upgraded. Get a gold antique to ★10 and it also unlocks a skin for that troop in your fleet.

How to develop your antiques

You earn antiques and antique fragments by chance, by opening Exploration items. There are two kinds:

Normal Exploration item

Normal Exploration item

The standard one. You get three of these free every day.

Advanced Exploration item

Advanced Exploration item

The gold one. You get one a day, or three a day with the Monthly Antique Card, and you can also buy more. Only these count toward the 50 and 200 milestones below.

Store packs also include Antique Chests. Each chest opens 1 random fragment from its own group of gold antiques, or an Epic or Rare antique fragment:

Infantry Antique Chest

Infantry Antique Chest

Gold: Infantry, Gold: Sniper, Gold: Gunner or Gold: Rocket: the four pieces of the Strong Will set.

Only available for purchase.

Technology Antique Chest

Technology Antique Chest

Gold: Armored Soldier, Gold: EMP Cannon, Gold: Storm Trooper or Gold: Shielder: the four pieces of the Nano Swarm set.

Only available for purchase.

Vehicle Antique Chest

Vehicle Antique Chest

Gold: Cannon, Gold: Raider, Gold: Shredder or Gold: Tank: the four pieces of the Rocket Turret set.

Only available for purchase.

Store packs

Exploration items and daily special packs can be bought in the store. The packs rotate through troop types — tanks one day, cannons the next.

Opening Exploration items

Every Exploration item you open is a random roll for a full antique or fragments.

Every 50 Advanced Exploration items

Open 50 gold Advanced Exploration items and you're guaranteed a Legendary antique fragment.

The Wish List

With the Monthly Antique Card, once you've opened 200 gold Advanced Exploration items, you pick the antique you want from the Wish List and get 8 fragments of it. That's enough to unlock it, or they add to it if you already have it.

How sets work and what they boost

Levelling up a single antique gives you its own stats — for example, the Scarlet Mantis Knife adds melee damage increase. But the real power comes when you complete a four-star set: it unlocks a bonus on top of everything the pieces give you. Pick a set in the Set filter below to see which antiques make it up and the bonus it gives.

The antique collection

Pick a type, a stat category, or both. The star shows the star level where each stat unlocks.

Min is the value when a stat unlocks. Max is the value at the antique's top star level.
