Description

Curio Shop

When first entering the Curio Shop, Arte will treat you somewhat coldly; though as you buy, tip, and come around more often, Arte will become much warmer and kind. You can read more about Arte's friendship with the player here.

Once a day, you can go into the mines (also owned by Arte) and look for gems. Once you collect them all, you have the choice of trading them all in for the Webkinz Crown of Wonder.

Relationships

Doug

Arte's ex-best friend. In the W-Tales The Last Adventure book, Arte states that he used to be close friends with Doug, "so close that [we] were almost brothers," and had a special club together called "The Adventure Dogs". This friendship fell apart though after getting into an argument when Doug wanted to keep all the gems Arte had found in a secret mine to himself. Since then, they haven't spoken a word to each other.

Sparky Fact

Arte's nephew from an unnamed sister. He is described as "the most important individual in Arte’s life, often visiting his uncle and wanting to learn more about his adventures."

Matilda Monkey

A monkey that Arte describes as his best friend. In the W-Tales Arte and the Lost Tomb book, its described that they met in the jungle. Though she hasn't been seen since leaving for university, she and Arte still keep in touch through email.
