Crafting materials

Crafting materials are items that allow you to craft other items.

Most crafting materials have one primary "intended" method of acquisition that is unique to them, and several shared alternatives such as resource generators, dismantling, trading (either with NPC merchants or other players), or looting. The most common ones simply appear on the ground in random encounters; the rarest have but a small chance of dropping in a high-tier dungeon.

Rare ores (Luxite, Voltrium, Atomium, Coal, Glowstone, Plasmanite, Nucleocite), which can be found randomly while mining in an unguarded location, are a special case: they are drawn from a shared global pool, capped at 10 items per server day. This limit is tracked irrespective of rare ore subtype or which player character was lucky enough to find it.
