Crafting materials

Crafting materials are items that allow you to craft other items but otherwise aren't very useful.

Most crafting materials have one primary "intended" way of being generated that is unique to them, and several shared alternatives, such as dismantling, trading (either with NPC merchants or other players), or looting random containers. The most common ones simply appear on the ground in random encounters; the rarest have but a small chance of dropping in a high-tier dungeon.

Rare ores (Luxite, Voltrium, Atomium, Coal, Glowstone, Plasmanite, Nucleocite), which can be found randomly while mining in an unguarded location, are a special case: they are drawn from a shared global pool, capped at 10 items per server day. This limit is tracked irrespective of rare ore subtype or which player character was lucky enough to find it.
