How to Use Refining Materials

Refining Materials are items that can be used in various crafting recipes across the board. Unlike Crafting Components, however, these items are primarily used for Conversion and Downgrade recipes. Some of these can be used for standard crafting recipes as well!

How to Get Refining Materials

Looted From Chests and Caches

Most refining materials are typically found in Caches and Chests across Aeternum! Keep an eye out for these whenever you're out in the world.

Bought From The Trading Post

If RNG isn't on your side, consider spending your gold in the Trading Post in settlements to acquire Refining Resources. It is important to note that settlements can have varying tax rates depending on what the ruling company implemented, try to scout the trading posts ahead of time to get the most bang out of your buck!

Bought From Faction Shops

Material Converters are a sub-set of refining materials that can be bought from the faction shops of the Covenant, Marauders, and Syndicate. These items require you to reach a specific rank within these factions to buy them.
