Material

Materials are used in the crafting process, to make new equipment or to upgrade equipment. They are also used to fulfill several rank and prestige missions.

Most materials are acquired randomly while adventuring in the Clockworks, obtained as monster drops, treasure box drops, or prizes in the prize wheel. Higher-ranked materials have a better chance of dropping on deeper levels of the Clockworks. Here is a general outline (not a strict list) of where to find materials of each star rating.

• ☆☆☆☆☆: All depths
• ★☆☆☆☆: All depths
• ★★☆☆☆: Stratum 2 and deeper
• ★★★☆☆: Stratum 3 and deeper
• ★★★★☆: Stratum 4 and deeper
• ★★★★★: Stratum 5 and deeper

Certain materials are also sold or only sold by Brinks, Sullivan or other vendors in exchange for tokens. Most materials can be freely traded between knights, and hence can be sold in the Auction House. Some materials are much more valuable than others of the same star level, due to their rarity or their use in crafting popular items. Unwanted materials can also be sold to vendors for small amounts of money:

• ☆☆☆☆☆: 1 crown
• ★☆☆☆☆: 1 crown
• ★★☆☆☆: 5 crowns
• ★★★☆☆: 10 crowns
• ★★★★☆: 25 crowns
• ★★★★★: 50 crowns
