Component

Overview

Components are crafted from salvage using base workshop tables. In turn, Components are used to craft items for your base, or to give characters temporary power buffs. Components come in Arcane and Tech varieties, each consisting of 6 items divided into 3 Tiers with increasing rarity of salvage needed to create them.

	Arcane A	Arcane B	Tech A	Tech B
Tier 1 (Basic)	Mystic Element	Mystic Foci	Tech Material	Tech Power
Tier 2 (Advanced)	Arcane Glyph	Arcane Essence	Tech Hardware	Tech Prototype
Tier 3 (Expert)	Magical Ward	Magical Artifact	Experimental Tech	Tech Software

Crafting

Component crafting can be done using workshop base items, as follows:

• Arcane Empowerment Stations can convert Arcane Base Salvage into all Tiers of Arcane Components.
• Tech Empowerment Stations can convert Tech Base Salvage into all Tiers of Tech Components.
• The Invention Worktable can convert matching sets of Invention Salvage into corresponding Components (Arcane or Tech), at a rate of 6 commons per Tier 1, 4 uncommons per Tier 2, or 2 rares per Tier 3.
• Base item Worktables can only convert base salvage into Components that match both their origin and Tier. For example, the Expert Forge may produce Tier 3 Arcane Components.
