1. Money and heat are granted to everybody no matter who picks it up. Don't worry about being greedy. Materials are randomly assigned too.

Read: If you don't play alone you will have times where a single player in your group will get 10 mats in a row.

They REALLY need to fix that a little bit. I get the good of having it random, but there should be a limit on how many you can get in a row or something.

When I first saw how Heat and Money were awarded to everybody, not to mention Crystals, I thought, "Gee, finally! A game where playing with other people doesn't mean getting a tiny share of the loot!"

Then I realized how important crafting was. 

Still, you can always solo-dive if materials are your main goal. Or dive with friends and coerce ask them to give you the materials you need.

Is there a Bay12 clan on in the game? I want to know because I would like to join if there was

Craft Frost Gun for pocket change and 10 Energy, sell at auction for 600 crowns.

Yessssssss.


Also Alstar is a pretty cool guy. Eh gives 100 energy and doesn't afraid of anything.

Materials are ridiculously cheap, anyways. If you're going into the Clockworks, they should be the least of your concerns. Get money, heat, and recipes instead.

All my money is going into buying recipes and energy. I don't think I can really sustain buying all those resources.

 And the tier 1 boss levels grant you 3 tokens instead of one for defeating the boss solo, so that can quickly get you token stuff.

You get three tokens even when you are in a group.

I also wouldn't call it "quickly", either - the Snarbolax, at least, requires 10 tokens for each of his items. And they're only 2* - you'll probably have 2* weapons by the time you kill him 4 times, let alone 10 times for the full set.

Hmm.

Im thinking of playing this game, but can you play by yourself?
I just want to get used to the controls.

Yes

When should I buy gear? My starter stuff is level 9.
Ok, it's 10. Don't know how to get new stuff much, recipies cost tons.

Generally, when you can afford it. However, it's worth noting that, if you're willing to wait a bit, it's better to go straight to a 2* weapon, skipping any 0* or 1* ones. The three major contenders for this are brandishes, flourishes and cutters. They're 2*, but all of them have upgrades all the way to 5* weapons, so you can keep the same sword all the way up.

You should be able to get any of these weapons for 3k or 4k on the AH, and I'd advise doing it this way, since it'll probably end up costing you more if you try to make it yourself.

Alternatively, run the t1 boss -  3 or 4 runs and you can get yourself a 2* weapon for free, and they also go all the way up to 5*.

I only have 7704...monies.

I joined a guild! They seem like nice people...

Don't know if i'll stay yet though.

That would be nice and dandy if I didn't have a single token from the first time I tried that boss with two other players and six more from the two times I soloed it.

 And yeah, there really isn't a noticeable damage difference between no tier and tier 1 equipment. It's a bit of a grind to get there so you could dump some resources into a cheap recipe that costs 250, like the first flame sword. Doesn't cost that many resources.

[AlStar]

The number of tokens you get depends on how many of the pre-boss levels you did. Did you join the other two players right before the boss?

Generally you'll get 3 or 4 tokens if you run all the levels up to the boss. (Which, obviously, you would if you are solo)

Are you sure? I joined a group right before they fought the boss, and I ended up getting 3 tokens, and I didn't see anyone else get any. I still think it's random like the rest of the pickups.
