Materials

All substances that yield crafting experience, ever acquirable in the Stash RPG can be divided in three large subcategories below.

* Whenever you craft, all the **materials** have to be placed in your stash inventory.

## Resources gathered by tools

Resources gathered by tools are lootable items acquired primarily by using gathering skills in the wild, or as a loot from hostile monsters and bosses, therefore gathering them entails considerable risks of being ambushed and/or killed in action. Besides gathering skill level and possession of up-to-date tools being a requirement for collection, some resources also require particular mounts and character level to enter areas where they reside, thus such resources are considered extremely difficult to obtain, which implies more reasonable market prices for them.

Once used in a crafting recipe, these types of **materials** can be disintegrated back into by using misc. Machinery, except for herbs which are dissolved into potions entirely.

Resources gathered by tools can be divided into six subcategories as follows:

### Gems

Weaponsmith crafting skill has the ability to disintegrate some of the offhand weapons into some of the gems by using misc. Machinery.

## Farming Materials

Farming materials can be divided into two subcategories as follows:

### Raw Materials

Raw materials are extremely easy to acquire, have cheap market prices and have low demand on the market due to the extreme availability.

Except for Fresh Fish which is acquired by trapping, raw materials are a range of **materials** acquired in the process of using farming general skill in the Stash RPG. Raw materials can be put in processors to get Processed Materials.

### Salvaged materials

Salvaged Materials are items acquired by using the salvage machine. Each salvaging attempt costs 5 triads and some attempts can yield no result.
