Crafting & Resources — The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC Guide

Crafting & Resources

While Trails in the Sky SC doesn't feature a traditional crafting system in the vein of item synthesis, resource management and strategic item usage are crucial for success. The primary way to "craft" or improve your party's capabilities lies in acquiring and equipping the right Orbments and Sepith. Orbments are magical devices that allow characters to cast Arts, and they have a limited number of slots for elemental Quartz. Collecting various Quartz, such as the offensive Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Quartz, or the supportive HP Up and EP Regen Quartz, allows you to customize each character's magical and stat-boosting potential.

Sepith is the currency of the world and is obtained by defeating monsters. Different types of Sepith (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Time, Space, Mirage, and Zero) are used to purchase Quartz, ingredients for cooking, and other essential items from shops. Efficiently gathering Sepith is vital. Prioritize fighting monsters that drop the Sepith types you need most for your current Quartz setup. Some monsters are more abundant in certain regions, so revisiting areas can be beneficial. Furthermore, certain quests and side activities reward players with rare Quartz or significant amounts of Sepith, making them worthwhile endeavors.

Beyond Quartz, food items play a significant role in resource management. Each character has a unique favorite dish, and cooking these dishes can provide powerful temporary buffs or restore a substantial amount of HP and EP. Learning which dishes are favored by which characters and when to use them can be a game-changer in difficult battles. You'll acquire recipes through various means, including completing quests, finding them in chests, or learning them from NPCs. Stocking up on healing items like Tearas and EP Charges is also essential, especially before venturing into dungeons or facing boss encounters. These items are purchased from shops or found throughout the world.
