Ancestrals are very tailored artifacts you can wear on your Growtopian (2012). Depending on what you want to do with it, you may scramble to get the right materials for an upgrade—because yes, they do have levels to them. Some artifacts (think of them like auras) allow you to harvest providers sooner the more you invest resources to level it.

Others get you more gems, more XP, and many more. 

Read on the Top 5 Best Ances That Are Great to know which of these Ancestrals are worth your time. It'll turn untradeable after upgrading! I've curated the list from least useful to most useful to serve as a guide.

5. Ancestral Lens of Riches

What was that, sire? Let’s meet straight at the chateau and discuss privately.

Speaking of smart, we've got the Ancestral Lens of Riches for (strangely) the cheapest ances you can get in Growtopia.

This is thanks to its buff which adds more gems to your actions. Equipped with a thick monocle as you upgrade, this is the perfect starter Ancestral you can get on a budget. It looks aesthetically pleasant and elegant for most Growtopian passersby.

Why Ancestral Lens of Riches is a Great Ances Artifact

• Cheapest ances in the market via BUYANCES. This is thanks to the supply of materials needed to make these artifacts.
• Decent as filler just to fully equip yourself, enough to give you a small boost
• The upgraded monocle looks fantastic; thickening and animating itself every few levels. This works the same way for the other artifacts; mundane at first and begins to embellish itself after upgrading.

Ancestral Lens of Riches details

• Ancestrals have six levels. The first level is when ances is at its weakest but is tradeable for others.
• As you level up your ances, this will not only bind the item to your account, but percentages will also increase depending on which Ancestral you got.
• Leveling up an ances takes getting the set requirements and submitting them to the Ancient Altar.
• A daily riddle will be shown on the Altar, but there are many guides online for the answers. If it looks fun, go ahead and brute force the heck out of it!
• Leveling up an artifact (ances) to level 6 works a little differently depending on the ances. However, this is usually unnecessary as it can be expensive.
• Soul Stones are obtained biweekly from Crazy Jim.
• For the Ancestral Lens of Riches, you get more gems the higher the rarity of a block you break.

4. Ancestral Totem of Wisdom

“Darling, everything’s on fire.”

Grind away 'til that sweet, sweet level 125 username. The Ancestral Totem of Wisdom allows you to gain more experience in everything you do. 

I recommend this ances if you're looking to hit a certain level for special items. For example, you might not get the Mini-Me 'til you've hit level 50! Several other achievements require you to hit a level requirement.

Why Ancestral Totem of Wisdom is a Great Ances Artifact

• Gives a "permanent" boost to your experience gain. In other words, it's very similar to the Ring of Wisdom where no longer do you have to consume Eggs Benedicts and all you have to do is wear it.
• Three of these items are necessary for the "Quest For Candour" Legendary Quest.
• When leveled up, this artifact enhances the Winter Robe's aesthetics, making it glint and shimmer.

3. Ancestral Orb of Time

Peer into my glass and seek your destiny.

The Ancestral Orb of Time proves itself useful for busy players who have to rely on providers for profit. Be it ATMs, Tackle Boxes, Science Stations, Chickens, or Coffee Makers.

Speed up harvest time when placing providers and harvesting with this artifact equipped. It’s a long-term investment, so expect to have Excel sheets ready for that numerical brain.

Why Ancestral Orb of Time is a Great Ances Artifact

• Reduce up to a few hours of waiting gone
• Wear the Soul Orb once upgrading to get an aesthetically buffed version of it

2. Ancestral Seed of Life

Flora, fauna, you name it.

The Ancestral Seed of Life speeds growth time for the trees you plant. 

This is especially useful if you harvest a lot for BFG, a buy and sell business, or for XP. I've listed this as the Top 2 for serving an extra purpose other than just to give XP, because this artifact brings an indirect boost to everything.

I recommend upgrading the Ancestral Seed of Life once you've gotten all materials. Like top 1, it'll be a little costly.

Why Ancestral Seed of Life is a Great Ances Artifact

• It's a generalist ancestral artifact.
• Planting takes 0.5 seconds compared to breaking, which takes so much more.
• Equip an Adventurer's Whip and it turns into a Plantera-esque tool!

1. Ancestral Tesseract of Dimensions

Careful not to stumble upon Doctor Strange, or Crazy Jim, for that matter.

The Ancestral Tesseract of Dimensions is a part of a series of items doubling block drop. Phew, I remember when it was just the Death Scythe and even then, using it would consume the item. Most people saved it for Flamesaber trees.

Paired with other block-doubling items, this ances paired again with the Ancestral Seed of Life makes for an unstoppable artifact combination. Add a Wisdom ances if you're under-leveled and call this min-maxing.

Why Ancestral Tesseract of Dimensions is a Great Ances Artifact

• Indiscriminately doubles any block grown on a tree.
• Can be costly, but very useful for farming
• Equip a Techno Visor to turn those green spectacles into its spectacular blue steampunk-esque equivalent.
• Upgrade the artifact enough to have one revolving blue and gold ball hovering around your character.
