Crafting materials are the backbone of the Alchemy Pot system. These items are used to create weapons, accessories, and powerful consumable items. Materials are primarily obtained by defeating monsters (each monster type drops specific materials), smashing environmental objects (pots, barrels, crates), opening treasure chests, or sometimes purchased from the Item Shop. Rare materials are often dropped by tougher enemies or found in hidden areas. It's a good practice to collect as many materials as possible during missions, even if you don't immediately need them, as you never know when a new recipe will require them. The 'Material List' in your main menu provides information on where to find specific materials. Regularly check your inventory and the Alchemy Pot to see what new items you can craft with your collected materials. Farming specific monsters for their drops is a common strategy for obtaining rare crafting components.
