How to use this data
Use Anchor without losing museum progress
Artifact pages are most useful when they separate the first museum copy from duplicate uses.
- Donate the first copy before treating duplicates as flexible items.
- Keep one spare if tailoring, Bone Mill, fish pond, or gift planning matters to your current farm.
- If the item came from a rare source, do not sell it until the museum and current collection goals are checked.
