Totem

Totem ritual locations

This article is about the items found on Anachronia. For other uses, see Totem (disambiguation).

Totems are items craftable by combining totem tops, middles, and bottoms, found on Anachronia. They can be placed to grant various passive bonuses to the player. Totem pieces can be stored in a totem bag.

After assembling a totem, it can be placed at one of three locations on Anachronia. It must then be activated in order to benefit from its effect. To activate it, the player has to interact with and charge the individual totem, or interact with a Remototem placed at the Anachronia base camp. Whilst the totem is being charged, temporal instabilities can appear which can be closed. Charging the totem and closing the instabilities awards Divination experience. The experience scales with the player's Divination level and increases the closer the totem is to full charge. At level 99 Divination the totems are charged for 20 times 152.8 experience, followed by five times 305.6 experience, followed by five times 458.4 experience, followed by six times 611.2 experience, and then followed by single gains of 916.8, 1,069.6, 1,222.4, and 1,528 experience for a total of 15,280 experience.

Once placed, the totem cannot be removed until the next weekly reset. The player must recharge the totems with every weekly reset to retain their bonuses.

Obtaining all totem pieces completes the Jurassic Perk achievement. Showing a complete totem to Alpheus or Eliza is also a requirement to recruit them into your research team.

This repeatable content has a hard reset.

The next period's content will become available immediately, regardless of whether a player has logged out.
