Ascension Materials

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.

80 materials 20 ladders

The third part of every ascension cost, alongside an element concentrate and an Identity book line. Twenty ladders, four tiers each, in ascending rarity.

They come in two shapes. Fourteen object families are farmed from the city through Info Exchange, Combat Approaches and Craft: the Metal-Blooded Claw, the Feather, the Wax line, and eleven more. Six Identity-domain drops come from the same six domains that hand out the ability books, one family per Identity.

Metal-Blooded Claw is the most demanded of the twenty, spent by five characters, alongside Feather at five and the Wax line at four.

The two shapes farm differently

The fourteen object families and the six Identity-domain families look alike on the page and behave nothing alike in practice, because their drop routes follow opposite rules.

Object families climb out of Craft. Every one of the fourteen follows the same ladder: the green tier comes from Combat Approaches and Info Exchange, blue is mostly Info Exchange on its own, purple adds Craft alongside Info Exchange, and the orange tier is Craft and nothing else. There is no drop route for the top tier of any object family, so the last rung of every one of these ladders is reached by crafting upward rather than by farming harder.

Identity-domain families do not. All four tiers of all six come from their own domain and only their own domain: Hero's Path, Guardian's Resilience, Outlaw's Determination, Victim's Decree, Saviour's Aid, Witness's Verdict. Craft never appears, at any rarity.

The practical read: for an object family, bank the mid-tiers and craft the top. For an Identity-domain family, the domain run is the only route there is.

Every cost and drop route here: last checked . Values can change as the game updates.
