Prepare a first deployment

Start with a goal, useful equipment and an extraction plan.

VISUAL REFERENCE

Notes
  • Editorial guidance over official descriptions; current-build gameplay is unverified.
  • No optimized route, measured drop rate or guaranteed farming result is claimed.

Choose a manageable goal

Read the active Order before choosing equipment. Treat unknown prerequisites and completion credit as questions to check in your menu; this guide does not assume your current page.

Pack for the task

Consider healing, armor and carrying capacity. The linked recipe pages show published ingredients. They do not prove you have unlocked the recipe or own the materials.

Plan the return

Seeing loot, collecting it and keeping it after a deployment are different states. Check what the task actually requires before risking the items you need.
