The answer first
A registered developer interview describes crafting and enhancement as ways to refine equipment and Relics rather than simply replace them. Patch 5 changed world chests to grant crafting materials instead of Gold and Elemental Shards, and Patch 6 added crafting materials in Chapters 2 and 3. The notes do not publish crafting formulas, exact quantities, guaranteed sources or an optimal farming route.

What does crafting support?
The developer interview supports a broad role for crafting and enhancement: refining equipment and Relics. Because that interview does not document the live interface or every crafting formula, this page treats it as a system-level description rather than a complete crafting manual.
Where did official patches add crafting materials?
| Version | Source area | Official change |
|---|---|---|
| Patch 5 · Aug. 5 | World chests across the map | Rewards changed to crafting materials instead of Gold and Elemental Shards. |
| Patch 6 · Aug. 6 | Chapters 2 and 3 | Crafting materials were added. |
These notes identify broad source areas. They do not establish chest coordinates, exact material names, quantities, respawn behavior or guaranteed per-chest drops.
How should I look for materials without relying on invented locations?
- Confirm the installed game version includes Patch 6 or later.
- Check world chests while exploring; Patch 5 changed their reward category.
- Revisit Chapters 2 and 3 only as broad official source areas, not as guaranteed coordinates.
- Record the chapter, chest or encounter, version and observed reward before repeating a route.
- Treat any crafting-formula, quantity or respawn claim as unverified unless its current source is registered.
What is verified
- The developer interview positions crafting and enhancement as refinement for equipment and Relics (RFG-CRAFT-001, partial system-level evidence).
- Patch 5 changed world-chest rewards to crafting materials instead of Gold and Elemental Shards (RFG-CRAFT-002).
- Patch 6 added crafting materials in Chapters 2 and 3 (RFG-CRAFT-003).
What needs more evidence
- Specific crafting formulas and ingredient requirements have not been verified.
- Exact quantities, guaranteed drops and respawn rules are not published here.
- No chest coordinates or complete material-source database is verified.
- No fastest material route or upgrade priority ranking is verified.
What is the best crafting-material route?
The official patch notes only identify world chests and the broad Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 additions. They do not support a fastest route. Build a versioned route from your own repeatable observations before treating it as guidance.
Should I save every material?
The evidence pack does not include current crafting formulas, costs or scarcity data, so it cannot justify a universal spending rule. Check the live upgrade interface and make a reversible, item-specific decision.
