Material Crafting Chain

Most materials follow a crafting chain. Understanding this chain helps you farm efficiently:

Hollow Parts→Dark Essence→Spirit Alloy→Invasion Bell / Gas Mask

💡 Tip: Don't sell Dark Essence directly (20 Soul Tokens). Craft 2 into an Invasion Bell and sell for 200 Soul Tokens instead.
