Crafting Roadmap

A visual planning tool to understand what items you can craft and use at your current progression level.

Overview​

Crafting Roadmap View

The Crafting Roadmap organizes all craftable items into progression tiers, showing you exactly where you are and what's ahead. It helps answer two key questions:

  • What can I craft? Based on your skill proficiency
  • What can I use? Based on your operative level

The Two Views​

Item Crafting View​

Organizes items by skill requirements—the XP needed in relevant skill areas to craft each item.

TierSkill LevelWhat It Means
Beginner1-5Starting items, accessible to most players
Intermediate6-10Requires focused skill development
Advanced11-15Significant expertise needed
Master16+Peak-tier items for specialists

Item Use View​

Organizes items by operative level—when you can actually equip or consume each item.

TierOperative LevelWhat It Means
Beginner1-5Immediate access items
Late Beginner6-10Early progression rewards
Intermediate11-20Mid-game equipment
Advanced21-30Experienced operative gear
Master31+Endgame items

"You Are Here" Indicator​

The roadmap highlights your current position in each view:

  • Crafting view: Based on your highest relevant skill area average
  • Use view: Based on your operative level

Items in your current tier and below are typically accessible. Items in higher tiers show what you're working toward.

Using the Roadmap Effectively​

Early Game Strategy​

  1. Items will be filtered by "My Career" by default
  2. Focus on Beginner tier items first
  3. Set 2-3 goals for Intermediate tier items you want
  4. Build toward those goals through skill development

Mid Game Strategy​

  1. Review Advanced tier to plan your next targets
  2. Check Item Use view to see when you can equip higher-tier gear
  3. Balance immediate crafts with vault-funded long-term goals

Endgame Strategy​

  1. Target Master tier items for peak performance
  2. Use the roadmap to identify remaining unlocks
  3. Set goals for rare merged items requiring cross-career inputs
