A-to-Z route

Level it with a purpose.

Do not craft random orange recipes. Pick a finished-item lane, secure the materials, and use first crafts, Knowledge, cooldowns, or server phase rules to advance.

1
1–25
Craft Song Gear, Soul Sprockets, and trainer components. Keep every intermediate reagent.
2
25–50
Craft basic tools and devices; recycle unwanted engineering reagents to discover recipes.
3
50–75
Choose Market Mobility for tools or Combat Analytics for gear; fill work orders.
4
75–100
Use Recycling discoveries and high-end Bits/Bots recipes; reserve Fused Vitality for top tools and gear.
