R&D Materials

**R&D (Research and Development) Materials** are items used to develop equipment from Blueprints.

Once a Blueprint has been brought to Choku-Funsha in the Waiting Room, the R&D menu will display the materials required to develop a piece of equipment. Handing over the Materials and SPLithium needed will make the equipment purchasable with Kill Coins, after a waiting period determined by the equipment's tier. Only Materials in your currently active Fighter's Death Bag and the Storage Chest are accessible by Choku-Funsha.

The Wandering Shop, Gyaku-Funsha, sells both common and rare crafting materials. The selection offered varies depending on which floor the shop appears.

## Material Types and Locations

There are six types of common materials that can be found in a variety of forms throughout the tower: Aluminum, Copper, Iron, Oil, Wood, and Fiber.

In All-material type floors, any type of common material can be found, but only in one "quality tier" according to floor number:

### Material Specific Floors

There are also material-specific areas. In these areas, the materials that appear have a chance to be up to two tiers lower or one tier higher than the current floor's tier.

An example of this is Takayama, an Aluminum-only area. Because it's on the 34th floor, normally only Pure Aluminum (Tier 4) would appear, but because this district is material specific, you can also find Aluminum Can (Tier 2), Aluminum Engine Part (Tier 3), and Aluminum Alloy 7075 (Tier 5).

## Tuber and Faction Metals

### Tuber Metals

Tuber Metals are one of the two types of Rare Metals. They are rarely dropped by the corresponding Tubers, and can also be obtained through certain Quests.

### Faction Metals

Faction Metals are the other Rare Metal type, primarily obtained as drops from Mid-Bosses and Dons, and from the gold chests in Trap Rooms.

They can also be obtained through certain Quests, purchased at Gyakufunsha, or rarely found in Uncle Prime boxes or login rewards.

Each Mid-Boss, Don, and Forcemen corresponds to a faction, and each set of 10 floors corresponds to a color:

 **Silver Skillshrooms** are the uncommon variety of Skillshrooms that can be found within the Tower of Barbs. They cannot be cooked. Along with the Bronze and Golden Skillshrooms, they can be traded with Momoko Yamada for Skill Decals. More than simply mushrooms, however, they are also a required material in many different R&D recipes at Choku-Funsha.

## Trading Skill Decals

**NOTE:** These decals are **Non-Premium**, and will be lost when removed.

## Uses

For all non-Event gear, it currently takes **205** Silver Skillshrooms to complete its uses. Event gear uses an additional **69**, for a complete total of **264**. More may be needed for Skill Decal trading.

**NOTE:** Tier is a level of power typically based on the number of times equipment has changed forms, not the number of stars it has.
War Ensemble Blue Metal

**War Ensemble Blue Metals** are 1-Star Faction Metals for developing and upgrading weapons and armor at Choku-Funsha.

## Locations

War Ensemble Blue Metals drop from the War Ensemble Mid-Boss, **JIN-DIE**, on 6F MOKA-MAGOME. She may drop damaged War Ensemble equipment or Kill Coins instead.

Drops in Max's Area (1-10F) and Jackson's Area (11-20F) from Gold Chests; found in **Trap Rooms** or from **Haters**. Above 41F, the **Hardcore Haters** may rarely drop this from Gold Chests at a low rate. White Steel and Red Napalm have a chance to drop this metal on Hard difficulty.

Can be bought for  20000 KC from Gyaku-Funsha,  50000 RE-Points from the R-Point Exchange, or with  4 (for x1) / 16 (for x5) Death Metals if appearing in the daily Hernia lineup.

Can be received as a reward from Quests, Bronze Lost Bags, or Platinum / Bronze Box Uncle Prime.

## Uses

For all non-Event gear, it currently takes **64** War Ensemble Blue Metal to complete its uses. Event gear uses an additional **3**, for a complete total of **67**.

**Staminungus** are leg-shaped mushrooms that temporarily grant you infinite stamina, both while sprinting and during combat.

## Infinite Stamina

This effect will let you run forever while active, though it will not refill your Hunger. If you were Hungry before eating this shroom, you will remain Hungry after the effect ends. However, if you *are* Hungry and don't have a Beast to eat, you could use these as a small boost to run past enemies or get to the next escalator, if you move quickly enough. It is possible to outrun Screamers and Haters if you can get far enough away, as they will eventually de-aggro after they lose sight of you.

It is no coincidence that these shrooms first appear in Crowley's area in the 20's. They are some of the longest floors in the entire game, and can have multiple different wrong paths or dead ends at the end of very long hallways. Don't be afraid you might "waste" any of these you find along the way, eating them can easily save you some time.

You can try to use this effect offensively during combat, though you may want to eat more than one. Attacking with weapons under this effect will not consume any stamina, however, many of the most stamina-draining attacks are heavy and slow, so make sure you have enough time to pull them off. If you don't want to worry as much about Stamina during a Boss fight, you could eat a couple of these before going in as well.

This effect Stacks, meaning that if you eat multiple of this shroom, the effect duration will continue to increase.
Pure Copper

**Pure Copper** is a 4-Star Copper-type R&D Material for developing and upgrading weapons and armor at Choku-Funsha.

## Locations

Pickaxe

* Combat Pickaxe
* Death Stalker

* Tier 2
* Tier 3
* Tier 4

****Pickaxes**** are weapons in Let it Die. Pickaxes are slower than most early-game weapons, but they offer good attack power and **Stagger Armor**. This means that, while swinging, you can't be interrupted by counter-attacks. Further mastery levels grant the ability to charge a swing, and to blind enemies.

Variants include the very rare **Death Stalker**.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

## Blueprint Locations

* **Combat Pickaxe**
	+ Has an obtainable Blueprint on Floors 1-5.

## Notes

* Avoid standing in front of an enemy who's swinging downward with a Pickaxe; this attack can not usually flinch once executed. Use this to your own advantage, as enemies will have a hard time stopping your hit as well.
* The L1/R1 move Sand Smash can provide plenty of time for a Gravedigger Charge - an easy way to one-shot enemies.

## Mastery Levels

#### Rank 20 Bonus Summary

* **Attack Power** increased by **61%**.
* **Rage Move Power** increased by **45%**.
* **Stamina Consumption** reduced by **30%**.
* **EXP** and **Kill Coins** from Goretastic Attacks increased by **30%**.
* L1/R1 move: Sand Smash. This is a *very* slow upward attack that briefly blinds enemies if it hits. Useful, but may require practice for correct timing.
* Attack upgrade: Gravedigger Charge. Holding down R2 will charge up a swing, allowing you to deal massive damage.

The **Death Stalker** is a powerful ****Pickaxe**** and one of the very rare TENGOKU Weapons, as the blueprint may only be found there. The blueprint can be rarely obtained from gold chests found after bosses in Tengoku.

It may be available in the Bloodnium Exchange (as a weapon, not a blueprint) for  3000.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

## Blueprint Locations

* **Death Stalker**
	+ Can be found in TENGOKU as a drop from Treasure Tuber chests or a chest after a Boss.

## Notes

* Avoid standing in front of an enemy who's swinging downward with a Pickaxe; this attack can not usually flinch once executed. Use this to your own advantage, as enemies will have a hard time stopping your hit as well.
* The L1/R1 move Sand Smash can provide plenty of time for a Gravedigger Charge - an easy way to one-shot enemies.

Thunderbolt

The **Thunderbolt** is a powerful **Bat** and one of the very rare TENGOKU Weapons, as the blueprint may only be found there. The blueprint can be rarely obtained from silver chests throughout Tengoku, as well as any chests dropped by haters.

It may be available in the Bloodnium Exchange (as a weapon, not a blueprint) for  3000.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

## Blueprint Locations

* **Thunderbolt**
	+ Can be found in TENGOKU in Silver Chests found from Haters or on the floor.

## Notes

* The Bat's moveset is very similar to the hammer; it is extremely linear on its first two hits, allowing enemies to sidestep it easily, so beware when using it with lock on.
* The Surprise Squeeze, unlocked at Rank 10, is a melee attack parry. The timing on the parry is fairly late, so you have to be pre-emptive, failing to parry can result in a block depending on the timing, and sometimes even a successful parry wont recover fast enough to give you a counter attack. The parry can be broken through by attacks that are stronger than the Bat so beware when using it. Not recommended to use.
* Full Swing will knock enemies away, but the attack is slow, so it must be timed well to avoid being interrupted.
* The Rage Move, Two-Base Hit, is a jab with the bat followed by an overhead smash that knocks away. It's fairly quick and strong for a 1-cost rage move.

## Mastery Levels

#### Rank 20 Bonus Summary

* **Attack Power** increased by **61%**.
* **Rage Move Power** increased by **45%**.
* **Stamina Consumption** reduced by **30%**.
* **EXP** and **Kill Coins** from Goretastic Attacks increased by **30%**.
* Combo Extension: Full Swing. This allows you to use an alternate swing at combo level 3 by pausing a moment before you press L2 or R2 again.
* L1/R1 Move: Surprise Squeeze. Melee attack parry.

The Underworld Rolodex is the players journal.

### Mail

Captain Yotsuyama will send messages regarding bonuses.

### My Data

* Fighter Data
* Mastery Level
* Play Log

### Quest List

The Quest List tab allows the player to review quests that have been accepted as well as those that have been cleared.

The progress of a quest is tracked and displayed on the Quest List, providing specific information such as 5 of 10 Mushrooms collected.

Stamps

On each level of the Tower of Barbs, there is a Stamp Machine in certain floors, as part of the **Stamp Rally**. Using the machine activates a small rhythm-based minigame, where you must hit up to 5 notes with the right timing. Completing this will grant the player a Stamp in the My Collection > Stamp Rally page of their Underworld Rolodex\*. Defeating each of the four Dons will also grant a Stamp. Upon completing groups of stamps (e.g. stamps 1-5 or 6-10), Uncle Death will give the player a reward. Getting all the Stamps in floors 1-40 will reward the player with the Grim Reaper's Scythe (Silver), and getting all the Stamps with a PERFECT will reward the Grim Reaper's Scythe (Gold).

Completing **Stamp Rally II** in the 40F's will reward the X-Ray Glasses (Blue) with a STR bonus, while PERFECT rewards the X-Ray Glasses (Red) with a DEX bonus.

After defeating Taro Gunkanyama, the **Stamp Mount Exchange** in the Waiting Room may be used to reset groups of stamps within each faction area.

\* Getting a MISS will not show a stamp visually, but still counts towards the completion of the Stamp Rally.

For help with floors and rotations, please see this spreadsheet.

## Stamp Locations

### Battle to the Top (Floors 41-50)

Due to how the floors in the 40s are random, there are no specific Stamp Machine locations. However, the floors themselves are based on individual floors from below 40F in the Tower. This means that they use the same tilesets as the floors listed above, and the Stamp Machines will spawn in similar locations. Typically they will only spawn in one spot per tileset, though some may appear in more than one location.

## Stamp Rewards

* Stamps 1-5:  Death Metal x1
* Stamps 6-10:  Death Metal x1
* Stamps 11-15:  Death Metal x1
* Stamps 16-20:  Death Metal x1

The blueprints were rewarded to players based on their TDM Rank during the final week of the Season. Unlike normal weapons, **they cannot advance to the next tier after reaching +4**. This means that you are stuck with whichever version you received. The Diamond Rank reward weapon is the strongest and can be uncapped.

Currently, new blueprints cannot be obtained.

Moka-Magome - 6F

Welcome to **Moka-Magome**, an area on Floor 6 of the Tower of Barbs!

Moka-Magome lies along the *main elevator shaft* and appears during all rotations. It contains Vol. 1, Pg. 4 of Tales From the Barbs.

## Mid-Boss

Moka-Magome holds the second mid-boss encounter in the Tower: JIN-DIE. It's a good idea to hit the Waiting Room to prepare before taking her on; she may be the easiest JIN-DIE, but she's still quite tough.

JIN-DIE is vulnerable to  Slashing damage. On this floor she can drop Kill Coins, 1-star equipment, or War Ensemble Blue Metal. Defeating her will allow you to unlock the gate at 5F Hyakudori's cyan escalator.

See her boss page (section "Floor 6") for attack pattern info and strategies.

## Golden Chest

Moka-Magome may spawn a Trap Room with a Golden Chest that can drop Blueprints, Kill Coins, or blue Faction Metals. The room will only appear during rotations 2 and 4. When it does appear, it'll always be located behind one of the doors in JIN-DIE's boss room, meaning she must be defeated each time you want to get to it.

This Trap Room triggers when the Golden Chest is opened, and it spawns the following enemies:

## Connecting Areas

	+ season 21 took place over 11/23/2022 - 01/16/2023

## Notes

* Very effective at destroying armor.
* The normal attack has very short range, forcing you into close combat until the secondary attack is unlocked.
* The normal attack behaves like the Buzzsaw; holding L2/R2 repeatedly damages anything that the Drill touches.
* If the Drill is spinning, enemies that attack you will take damage first.
* Even if an enemy is blocking, the normal attack does multiple hits and will tear away at armor and HP, but beware of overheating, which can leave you open to attack.
* The secondary attack is a quick, single-hit thrust, unlocked at Mastery Level 6.
* The secondary attack has deceptively good range, **extremely** high damage, a generous hitbox, and solid knockback, making it preferable to the normal attack for almost all situations.
* Due to its range, hitbox, and knockback, the secondary attack is safe to use and can often plow through enemy attacks for free counter damage. Combined with its already high damage, it can easily one-hit kill enemies of the same tier, and even do solid damage to enemies of higher tiers.

I wanna get crunk tonight. I wanna get smashed tonight.
I just played down my life. I just played down my emotions.
I don't know what should I do.
I don't know the first thing about it!

"Then, would you take a message?" Laugh as much as you like,
I'm blaming myself sharply for leaving you.

I don't know the first thing about this games.
When you gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much.
I needn't mind so much.
I couldn't believe what I was watching.
Gazing up into the blue clouds. I blame myself.

What did I do that for? What did I do that for?
I'm blaming myself sharply for leaving you.
I don't know what should I do.
I don't know the first thing about this game.
When you gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much.
I needn't mind so much.
I'm not afraid of failure.
Its a no brainer. Its a no brainer. Its a no brainer.

Catch me doing that again.
I don't worry anymore, but Don't get your hopes up.
But Catch me doing that again.

When you gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much.
I needn't mind so much.
I couldn't believe what I was watching.
Gazing up into the blue clouds. I blame myself.
When you gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much.
I needn't mind so much.
I'm not afraid of failure.
Its a no brainer. Its a no brainer. Its a no brainer.

Story

The **Story**: In the year 2026 AD, a large tectonic disturbance occurred causing mass destruction around the world. South Western Tokyo split off into the ocean and became an island covered by a deep poisonous fog. Continuous seismic activity then caused a large spire to rise out of the ocean through the island creating a tower-like structure that pierces the clouds. Many mysteries remain hidden from the eyes of mankind await those courageous enough to dare approach the tower...
Snail

An oversized snail that can be found on the ground or clinging to walls. They do not make any noises but are easily seen due to the large purple cloud of poison they emit. Often times they will appear as obstacles in a path or part of traps, forcing you to have to deal with their poison clouds.

Killing a Snail will produce a Snailshroom.

Like most beasts, it has a rare golden variant, the Golden Snail.

## Effect

*"**Distribution:** Primarily Max's area."*

*"**Size:** 16 in."*

*"Scientific Name: Euhadra testa"*

*"Grows huge by absorbing harmful spores from the Tower of Barbs, and sprays poison when threatened."*

**Raw Effect:**  Restores 160 HP (M)

**Cooked Effect:**  Restores 200 HP (M)

**Sell Price:**  336 KC (Raw/Cooked)

**EXP:**  24 EXP (Raw),  48 EXP (Cooked)

## Location

Snails are first encountered on the floors controlled by Max Sharp. However, they seem to be much more common on the floors controlled by Colonel Jackson.

## Gallery

* A live snail.
* A grilled snail.
* A crushed snail.

## Notes

* You can run up to a Snail and stomp it unconscious before it's poison cloud can affect it.
* Throw uncooked beasts at Snails that are attached to walls or ceilings in order to knock them down.
* If you have the Fireworks weapon, you can also target a Snail from a safe distance and cook them with a single shot.
* Although decent at healing when eaten, they become more useful once you obtain the Poison Eater Decal. This essentially turns the Snail into a mobile healing station.
