Silver Palace Materials
Every material characters and Motives spend, what it is for, where it drops, and who needs it.
Every character and every Motive in Silver Palace is levelled with the same small set of materials, and the game never shows you the whole picture at once: a character page tells you what that character costs, but not that the concentrate you are farming is shared with two others, or that the Identity book line you are short on is also what your Motives want.
This page is that view from the other side. It lists all 152 progression materials, what each one is for, which of the 24 farming routes drops it, and every character and Motive that spends it.
Ascension always takes the same four parts: one element concentrate matching the character's Reactor Attribute, one object family such as Metal-Blooded Claw or Feather, one Identity ability book line, and Ounce. The rows change per character; the shape never does.
The four groups
Seven element lines, four tiers each. Every released character needs one Rectified concentrate matching their Reactor Attribute to break past Lv. 70.
Six Identity lines, four ranks each. These are the largest ability sink in the game and Motives draw from the same six lines that characters do.
Twenty four-tier ladders: fourteen object families farmed from the city, and six Identity-domain drops. Only a handful have a consumer on the current roster.
The loose rows every progression system touches: Ounce, the character EXP books, the universal Insight drops, the Motive bookmarks and the gray-tier filler.

What the demand table tells you
Two patterns are worth pulling out of the numbers above.
Identity books are the real bottleneck. They sit far ahead of anything else because two systems draw on the same six lines: character ability upgrades and Motive breakthrough. Hero's Path is the most contested by a wide margin, which follows from it being the most common Identity on the roster. If you are planning a farming week, this is the line to plan around.
Ounce is not a rounding error. Taking every current character and every current Motive to their published ceiling costs 6,199,925 Ounce. It is earned from Funds Gathering, Info Exchange, Cognito Assembly and City Events, and no other single material comes close to that scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you need to ascend a character in Silver Palace?
Four parts, every time: one Rectified element concentrate matching the character's Reactor Attribute, one four-tier object family such as Metal-Blooded Claw or Feather, one Identity ability book line, and Ounce. The exact rows differ per character but the shape never does.
Which material is used by the most characters?
Twin Argent Strands, an Insight Material from Info Exchange, appears in the ability costs of every character on the roster. Ounce is the only thing spent more widely still, since Motive breakthrough draws on it too.
Where do Identity ability books come from?
Each of the six Identity lines has its own domain: Hero's Path, Guardian's Resilience, Outlaw's Determination, Victim's Decree, Saviour's Aid and Witness's Verdict. The Instinct rank drops there only, while Insight, Challenge and Legacy can also be crafted upward from the rank below.
Do Motives use the same materials as characters?
Partly. Motive breakthrough spends Ounce and the same six Identity book lines that character abilities do, which is why Identity book demand runs so far ahead of everything else. Motives do not use element concentrates or the object ascension families.
