Materials

Material	Description
Plasma	Dropped by grubs — your companion sucks it up. Trade it at the Hunter for permanent training.
Biomass	Dropped by Crawlers. Hunter resource — for abilities around speed and gathering.
Chitin	Dropped by Swarm Flies and Shardlings. Hunter resource — for abilities around evasion and armor.
Ore Dust	Dropped by Armor Walkers and Drill Beetles. Hunter resource — for abilities around damage and mining.
Spores	Dropped by Spore Bearers and Wardens. Hunter resource — for abilities around find luck and loot.
Resonance	Dropped by Ridge Jumpers. Hunter resource — for abilities around critical hits.
Slag	Dropped by Magma Crawlers. Hunter resource — for abilities around armor.
Scrap	Metal waste from salvaging. Sell it for credits at the trading post — the fallback when your bag is full.
Copper Ore	Raw copper ore. Smelted into copper bars at the refinery.
Tin Ore	Raw tin ore. Together with copper the refinery turns it into bronze.
Iron Ore	Raw iron ore. Smelted into iron bars at the refinery.
Copper Bar	Smelted copper bar. Raises the rarity of Prospector gear.
Bronze Bar	Bronze bar from copper and tin. An intermediate step at the refinery.
Iron Bar	Iron bar. Raises the rarity of Pressure gear — and becomes steel.
Cog	Mechanical cog. Component for gear and upgrades.
Circuit Part	Circuit part. Component for advanced gear.
Fuel Cell	Charged fuel cell. Power source for propulsion and later upgrades.
Lumen Crystal	Glowing cyan crystal — crystallised reactor energy. Ground into a Lumen Lens at the refinery.
Kaverite	Red-orange, extremely hard crystal. Pressed into a Kaverite Plate at the refinery — material for armor.
Boss Crate	Locked crate from a boss chamber. Needs a code key — the real loot is inside.
Code Key	Opens exactly one boss crate. Comes from daily tasks.
Void Crystal	Violet-black crystal that seems to swallow light. Rarest deposit of Act I; the heart of the strongest gear.
Ember Quartz	Red-glowing quartz from the Ash Maw. Stores heat; with magmatite it becomes the fusion mantle.
Magmatite	Heavy ore of solidified magma from the Melt Vein. Withstands heat that melts steel.
Gravitite	Unusually dense ore from the Core Shaft. A fist-sized piece weighs as much as a barrel.
Core Crystal	Pale-gold glowing crystal from the Core Chamber, the heart of the planet. With gravitite it becomes the core coil.
Lumen Lens	Cut lumen lens. Raises the rarity of Lumen hardware — module, sensor, emitter.
Steel Bar	Smelted from iron and kaverite. The material for the highest rarities.
Kaverite Plate	Pressed kaverite plate. Raises the rarity of Kaverite hardware — and becomes steel.
Void Core	Compressed void core. Raises the rarity of Void hardware — the best of Act I.
Fusion Mantle	Heat mantle of ember quartz and magmatite. Keeps the fusion reactor's heat in check.
Plasma Cell	Ten fuel cells, compressed into one in the reactor. Heats up the reactor chambers and makes them faster.
