New recipes may become available at times during the guarded launch or for special crafting events. Click here to read about the [first Shell crafting challenge](https://shellprotocol.io/posts/lunar-new-year-crafting-challenge/) for the 2023 lunar new year. Different recipes may require any [artifact](/user-guide/earn-rewards/bro-kwons-booty.md#artifacts) as ingredients ([expanders](/user-guide/earn-rewards/get-quota.md#expanders), [boosters](/user-guide/earn-rewards/multipliers-and-boosters.md#boosters), or [miscellaneous](#miscellaneous-artifacts)). {% hint style="warning" %} Warning: just like *opening* crates and *activating* items, *crafting* a new artifact is irreversible. That means you won’t ever be able to deconstruct your new [Rabbit Booster](https://twitter.com/ShellProtocol/status/1617630250279788545) or [Lucky Chad](https://twitter.com/ShellProtocol/status/1636803784759463937) (or any other crafted item) in order to get the original items back. That’s because under the hood, when you craft a new artifact you’re really minting a new NFT and burning the old NFTs! {% endhint %} ## **Miscellaneous Artifacts** Miscellaneous items don’t increase quota or points by themselves. However, they may be used as ingredients in crafting recipes.
