Material gathering runes
Engineer material-focused Void Fields build
Combine a deposit route and material-oriented rune choices for a repeatable crafting farm.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Engineer material-focused Void Fields build
Void Fields with Engineer, on a map whose fixed material pool matches the needed weapon recipe.
Before you go
- Unlock Engineer and the relevant material runes, if available.
- Unlock a Void Fields map that supplies the target material.
- Know the recipe requirement and choose a manageable difficulty.
Farming steps
- Check the Blacksmith recipe and write down the missing resources.
- Select a Void Fields map whose fixed mineral pool matches those needs.
- At rune selection, equip Material Harvest and Efficient Extraction if unlocked and currently suitable.
- Choose Engineer and a setup you can control on the chosen difficulty.
- Start the run and clear enemies while collecting Major Soulstones.
- Break accessible mineral deposits between encounters and collect their output.
- Complete the run, then inspect the inventory for direct and rune-related materials.
- Spend the usable stock at the Blacksmith and update the next run’s target.
- Prioritize a map with the correct material pool; Engineer and rune choices cannot make the wrong map supply a missing mineral.
- Use a Curse level that lets you finish consistently, and rely on the current rune descriptions for effect details.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the Engineer run while the next Blacksmith craft still needs resources available from that map. Materials are retained after completion and spent between runs.
Common mistakes
- Treating the build as a guaranteed drop setup: both rune output and deposit results need to be checked after each run.
- Taking high Curses before the build is ready: reduce difficulty if runs stop completing.
- Mining every node regardless of route: skip unsafe detours that threaten the objective.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your recipe is funded or the map no longer supplies the main missing resource; change the map or farm type to address the next bottleneck.
