THE VAULT

PREFACE

The Vault is a system implemented by The Chromeskulls to balance the distribution of equipment and power amongst the ranks. It's a collection of schematics for prosthetic modifications, augments and unique tech specific to The Chromeskulls. It's utilized as a rewards system, with each rank being allocated a specific number of predetermined slots that they can fill with items from The Vault, and have more rewarded to them.

VAULT TIERS

TRADE UPS

The Trade Ups system is a replacement for the crude and underutilized request system. How it works is that you, the player, will be able to trade up any two of a rewarded item on the same tier for a item on a higher tier. It will cap at the High Shelf, or HR+. 

Example below;
I was rewarded two items that were SR+, I could go to an HR+ staff member and request an item from the MR+ items. If I had another two MR item rewarded to me, then I could request an item from the HR+ items. If I had another HR item rewarded to me, god willing I be that lucky, I would have to stop there as HR+ is the limit for trade ups. You can additionally trade up more than once. For example: I have a traded up MR item and get two more SR items, I could get another MR item.

You are not allowed to use your pre-set Vault slots, or items you traded up for, for future trade ups.
