• Warehouse and Armory
  
  • Each faction stronghold now has a Warehouse which stores raw resources that all faction members can access by spending Favor (previously Warehouse Credit).
    
  • The Armory functions in a similar way, only with armor and weapons instead of resources.
    
  • Favor is a new currency earned by depositing resources into the Warehouse or Armory.
    
  • Mousing over Favor in your inventory displays more details.

    • The only remaining refined materials are in Metals, Explosive Powders, and Adhesives recipes.
    
    
  • Removed incremental leather material tiers from crafting recipes (such as Thin Leather Scraps).

    • For example: to make a Tier 2 silk chest, you now need skilled or mastery in the Tier 1 silk chest instead of needing skilled or mastery in the Tier 1 silk helmet.
      
    • This makes it so players no longer need to craft an entire set to gain access to another tier of that specific armor item. This was also necessary for crafting simplification and how tiering of recipes works in the new system.
    
    
  • The number of crafting tiers per weapon type has been reduced from 5 to 3.
    
    • The tiers now have more significant jumps in damage output, making each recipe completion feel more powerful.
