Overview
Materials pages should become the backbone of the guide site. They connect character builds, Kibo growth, map markers, farming routes, event shops, and planner tools into one searchable structure.
Current material names are launch-ready templates. Replace them with official names only after verification.

Usage matrix
The usage matrix groups materials by what they are used for: character growth, Kibo upgrades, crafting, map routes, and event shop planning.
Data fields every material page should include
- Official name, rarity, category, and source type.
- Exact map location or shop source when verified.
- Characters, Kibo, weapons, or recipes that use the material.
- Repeatability, reset behavior, and expected route value.
- Links to map, farming guide, and material planner.
Update rules
- Add exact source locations once verified.
- Link each material to every character, Kibo, or weapon that consumes it.
- Keep route notes short and factual so they can be refreshed quickly.
- Use the update tracker whenever material names, drops, or shop sources change.
Materials FAQ
Should placeholder material pages be indexed?
They can be indexed if they are clearly marked as pre-launch templates and updated quickly after official data appears.
What is the most valuable material content after launch?
Exact source locations, route efficiency, upgrade costs, and which characters or Kibo need each material.
