What are component tiers in The Last Caretaker?

Component tiers range from 0 (basic) to 11+ (endgame). Each tier represents increasing complexity, material requirements, and crafting difficulty. Higher tiers unlock more advanced equipment and capabilities.

Which component tier should I focus on first?

Start with Tier 0-2 basic components as they are building blocks for all higher-tier equipment. Stockpile these early game components since they are used in large quantities for crafting progression.

What makes endgame components (Tier 9+) different?

Endgame components demand significant material investment and often require multiple mid-tier components. Ensure you have complete recipes and sufficient storage before starting large crafting sessions for maximum efficiency.

How many components are in each tier?

The game features 40+ craftable components distributed across 12 tiers (0-11). The distribution varies, with more components in early and mid tiers to support natural progression, and fewer specialized components in endgame tiers.

Should I craft all components in a tier before moving up?

No, focus on components relevant to your progression path and playstyle. Use the craft tree to identify which components are prerequisites for your target equipment. Not all components in a tier are equally useful for every build.

Components Tier Comparison

Q: How do I efficiently progress through component tiers?

Focus on your chosen playstyle (power, combat, or exploration) when reaching mid-tiers (3-5). Use the Resource Planner to optimize material gathering. For high tiers (6-8), plan ahead for multi-component recipes to avoid bottlenecks.

Compare all craftable components across tiers. Understand the progression path, material requirements, and optimal crafting order for efficient advancement.

Component Crafting Strategy

Basic Components:

Focus on crafting basic components as soon as materials are available. These are building blocks for more complex equipment and should be stockpiled early.

Specialized Components:

Prioritize components needed for your chosen playstyle (power, combat, or exploration). Use the Resource Planner to optimize material gathering for your target components.

Advanced Components:

Plan ahead for multi-component recipes. Many advanced items require multiple prerequisite components. Check the craft tree to avoid bottlenecks.

Complex Components:

These components demand significant material investment. Ensure you have complete recipes and sufficient storage before starting large crafting sessions.
