Materials

"Discover a variety of materials in different areas. Materials can be used in trades, quests and alchemy."

Materials are items with a low chance to appear each Cycle and are unlocked in the BLC Shop for 250k. They have a wide range of uses, most notably in Quests, Alchemy, and upgrading Tools.

Materials collected appear in a new tab on the top bar. Hover over a material to see its spawn location, spawn chance, materials per hour, and current quantity. The quantity also shows the its max quantity, ie. your current material storage capacity.

Materials DO NOT despawn. There can only be 50 on screen at one time, then all materials will stop spawning until some/all are collected. A specific material will not spawn if your storage for that material is full. All materials begin with a base spawn chance of .50%.

Material Inspector from the BLC Coin Shop shows each material's spawn location and chances in their descriptions.

Increasing Spawnable Materials

To maximize idle collection, equip Toucano, Ducko and Butterflyo. Toucano will keep gathering even when the screen is full.

Each Tool upgrade increases base spawn chance by 0.10% for an individual material. The initial upgrade costs 100 of that material. All upgraded tools will provide blower enemy damage and a few provide an extra unique bonus. Tools do not need to be equipped in order to receive the material spawn chances.

Shovelling with the auto dig gem shop upgrade can also net materials faster. Furthermore, materials can be traded for other materials at Kokkaupunki.

Spawnable materials can also be gained through Daily Rewards.

Essences

Alchemical Essences are brewed and are ingredients for brewing other things. Hippo and Crafting bonuses such as Brew Crit Chance are important for gaining more essences.

• Dropped by the Witch — Witch Essence Multiplier Crafting bonus recommended.
