MATERIALS

---

Materials is a general term used to represent a variety of supplies that make up both necessities for traveling the seas as well as resources to be used in various crafting ventures. As a general term, it refers to anything from simplistic items such as food and water used for general survival to items such as precious ores or rare plants used for a long list of potential inventions. Any time a player wishes to travel, forge weapons, synthesize medications or otherwise, materials must be spent.

As players embark on their adventures materials will be naturally gained without extra focus on acquisition. However, while materials can be gained through basic thread completions, they will be gained at a slower rate in comparison to those seeking to accrue more in specific threads designed for resource gain, such as gathering exercises or pillaging. In addition to this, materials can be traded amongst players under the condition that they come with posts detailing the exchange.

All materials fall under a ranking system ranging from E (the lowest) to U (the highest). This ranking is important and determines the rarity of the materials as well as the quality of crafts that can be created through their use. To elaborate further on the terminology, all materials fall under the same term due to the fact that they will remain unspecified until used. With this, a D-Rank Material used by a chef can be a fish while a D-Rank Material used by a blacksmith could be an ore and can be traded with each other without fear of losing an important material.

MATERIAL DESTRUCTION
When looking at our interaction with materials as they exist in structures and constructs in the world, more specifically talking about their destruction, materials have an Endurance & Durability rating in Doriki that corresponds with their letter rank at the Avg. sub-tier. It takes an equally powerful attack to destroy them. The following is a list of the common materials that characters will encounter in their adventures.

• Wood - E
• Stone - D
• Bronze and Lesser Metals - D
• Iron and Middle Metals - C
• Steel - B
• Higher Metals - A
• Diamond - S
