Chain Overview
Star Iron begins as Raw Star Iron from Meteor Falls. It becomes Star Iron Ingots at the Forge, then branches into gear, Arcane Ingots, town requirements, and profession station materials.
- Raw Star Iron is event-sourced, so towns should treat it as a shared strategic resource.
- Star Iron Ingots are the key material for levels 2 through 6.
- The Star Iron Pickaxe is useful, but overcrafting tools can slow town upgrades.
- The Star Iron Blade is a boss-focused weapon that becomes more valuable once the town economy is stable.
Common Bottlenecks
The chain is intentionally gated by event wins and support professions. Do not ignore Arcanawright, Mason, and Alchemist outputs just because Star Iron is the shiny part.
- Arcane Ingots require support materials, not only forge time.
- Meteor Hearts and Cores should be logged as civic resources until late gates are funded.
- Overcrafting personal gear can strand a town one event short of its next radius.
Suggested Storage Labels
Split storage by Raw Star Iron, Ingots, Warden Drops, Arcane Materials, and Approved Personal Crafts. That makes it obvious when the town can afford a tool or must wait.
Practical Checklist
- Treat Raw Star Iron as a town resource until the level plan is funded.
- Craft ingots first, then branch into pickaxe, blade, and Arcane Ingot needs.
- Pair Blacksmith output with Arcanawright, Mason, and Alchemist supply.
