Vortex Gaming

· Most materials in the game can be found via acquisition routes such as monster drops, merchants, crafting, dismantling, and gathering.
· Select a material, press the arrow to check its location, and then use 'Start Tracking' to warp nearby.
· Materials usually sparkle, and you might find 1 to 5 items in one spot, so look around carefully.
· Be careful, as picking up other materials while moving will make the tracking path disappear.
· Higher-tier materials can only be obtained through crafting, not gathering or mining, so you need to farm lower-tier materials first.
· You can use two useful websites for material collection:

Site Name	Main Features
원신지지	Check treasure chest locations by village
제로지지	Check all resources and object elements (filter function available)

· Daily missions, which reset at 4 PM every day, allow you to collect three materials from each region.
· For example, in the Liones region, you can gather Mermaid's Tears, Nameless Knight's Emblems, Evening Primroses, and more.
· It's efficient to clear and gather materials from all regions regardless of mission progress, utilizing the location tracking feature.
· The 'Path of Exploration' mission also has various resource collection quests at each stage.
· These require various materials such as Giant Beetles, Mermaid's Tears, Nameless Knight's Emblems, Evening Primroses, Lapis Lazuli, Swirling Eternal Herbs, etc.
· The gathering difficulty isn't high, so it's good to gather them when the Path of Exploration opens or to gather them in advance.
· You can obtain both mission clear rewards and Path of Exploration rewards (gacha tickets), so it's recommended to clear them whenever you have time.

· In the early and mid-game, there are cooking missions, and you can cook at campfires or hearths.
· It's also possible to craft and set up a campfire directly from the crafting table to cook.
· It's efficient to check cooking recipes via websites. On such sites, you can select each dish to see all required ingredients.
· You can purchase cooking ingredients with gold at the village's cooking shop, but there's a daily purchase limit, so it's recommended to use it only when urgent.

· Each character requires three types of weapon mastery materials.
· Large nodes (1, 2, 3, 4) can be leveled up with EXP materials and Hero's Emblems, with different emblem grades required depending on the node tier.
· Small nodes next to circles require various materials, which can be obtained by checking their acquisition locations.
· The priority for acquiring mastery nodes should be to unlock lower nodes, focusing on your main damage dealer. It is strongly recommended to unlock all Attack nodes, even for weapons you don't actively use.
· It's generally good to unlock most main weapon masteries, but note that the materials for the fourth node are emblems obtainable after Star Level 40 and World Level 4.
· Required mastery materials can be obtained through drops, crafting, or gathering. Since each node requires 4 of the same material, planning to farm in multiples of 4 at once is efficient.

· The crafting table has low utility in the early to mid-game but becomes essential for crafting higher-tier materials, resources, and equipment.
· Crafting level increases through crafting, so it's good to craft consistently.
· Common materials needed for crafting 3-5 level crafting tables are Wood, Polishing Agent, Adhesive, and Ingots.
· Especially Tree Sap, Flint, Platinum Ingots, and Gold Ingots are needed in various places besides the crafting table, so it's recommended to farm them consistently.
· Platinum Ingot is a very important material, crafted by combining 5 lower-tier Ores into 1. Platinum Ore is not abundant on the map, so consistent farming is necessary.
· Crafting a final SSR weapon requires 30 Platinum Ingots per weapon. Considering each character equips 3 weapons and there are many characters, an infinite supply is needed.
· Weapon promotion also requires Platinum Ingots and Lapis Lazuli, and Platinum Ingots are also used as materials for Enchantment Orbs.

· Besides combat growth, you can capture mountable pets, specifically dragons. Three types of dragons (Green, Red, Purple) are particularly useful.
· Green dragons are easy to obtain but slow, while Red and Purple dragons are harder to get but faster.
· Capturing dragons requires top-tier Charm Potions, which demand a high crafting table level and Concentrated Charm Potions.
· Captured monsters may have a resistance chance, so you might need to try multiple times.
· The materials needed for Charm Potions are Petals of Purity and the lower-tier Four-Leaf Grass.
· It's also good to pre-farm high-grade/rare concentrated sap (Moss Seed, Dragon's Tail Herb, etc.) obtainable through dismantling. Dismantling other plants of the same grade is also possible.
· The 'Horse Search' quest, appearing in the final act (estimated Act 10) of the main quest, requires finding 3 identical patterns. Their locations are as follows:
· First: A specific wall
· Second: Another wall
· Third: The ground
· Find these three spots to complete the quest. This information might be helpful for those who are stuck.
