Rules and assumptions

This planner keeps upgrade-related items together so you know what to keep, which guide to open, and when to return to Franz or the Tarforge.

Why does this page not calculate exact upgrade costs?

Right now it is a material planner. When exact upgrade costs are confirmed, the same page can become a cost calculator without changing the player workflow.

What should I use it for right now?

Use it to identify upgrade materials, Tarforge keys, weapon-map items, and currencies, then open the linked item pages for current effects and route notes.
