Resources are common materials or ingots used in the construction of new items through crafting. Raw resources can be gathered by mining or harvesting them from the world, while crafted ones are alloys that have to be crafted. Processed resources like ingots or powders have to be smelted or refined.

Only 500 of each resource can be held by the player at once. However, Storage Crates are able to store larger quantities.

There are presently 20 types of raw resources, 5 alloys and 8 Ingots or powders in the game:
