Materials are the building blocks of crafting in your grand voyage. Along your journey, you'll uncover various materials through trade, gathering, or plundering. Crafting, especially in the art of creating mighty weapons and resilient armor, relies on the materials you acquire.
Understanding Raw Materials
Raw Materials oftentimes have various traits or upgrades attached to them. These traits are the upgrades that a player can attach to a weapon while crafting it. To understand Materials, detailed below is an explanation of their description.
Material Name
Raw Material, Trait (Cloth, Wood, Metal, Stone)
Upgrades: Upgrade Name
Compatibility: Armor Type, Weapon Type, Special
Tier: (Tier of Material)
Traits: Traits are essentially what the Material is physically. When crafting a weapon or armor out of material of a certain trait, the completed craft becomes that type of material. For instance, making a weapon out of a material with the “Wood” trait, creates a weapon that would be considered wooden. If a material has a "Composite" trait as well, it means that it must be used with a Tiered Material when crafting a weapon or armor itself. Using it in this way only allows you to add one upgrade that matches the tier appropriately.
Upgrades: Upgrades listed in a material allow you to either add the upgrade to a creation when crafting with it, bypassing the upgrade point cost of adding such a property to a weapon or armor, but forces you to apply all eligible properties to it. For instance, Sea Prism Stone adds the “Suppressant” upgrade to a weapon at no point cost, but crafting with it forces the “Heavy” property to be added to it, as opposed to upgrading a weapon with it, which allows the weapon to gain the “Suppressant” upgrade at the required point cost.
Compatibility: Compatibility denotes what the weapon can be used on, like “Medium / Heavy Armor, or Weapons” for most Metals, or various specific weapons and armor for “Wood”, etc. Material with the “Special” compatibility trait can be used outside of the Blacksmithing Downtime activity, such as in Ship Building.
Tier: The tier of the material, meaning what tier of weapon it can make or be added too for an upgrade. Some Materials denote a tier of “--”, which means that it can be used to upgrade any tier weapon. All Tier "--" materials have the "Composite" trait attached.
