Unscathed Materials Guide: Cloth, Rings, Fragments, Shards & Potions
Quick answer
The most important Unscathed materials are Cloth from the Innkeeper, Brass Metal Rings for gear recipes, Lucky Potions from expeditions, and Fragments or Shards for gem upgrades and trait rerolls.
Material Priority List
Unscathed materials matter because crafting, gems, traits, and potions all compete for your inventory. If you sell or spend everything immediately, you slow down the next upgrade. Use this page as a reserve list before opening the sell menu.
| Material | Primary Source | Used For | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloth | Innkeeper shop rotation | Wraps and early crafting progression | High early |
| Brass Metal Rings | Material farming and shop checks | Chainmail, Magnet, Teleporter-style crafts | High mid-game |
| Fragments | Expeditions and Story rewards | Gem upgrades | Always useful |
| Shards | Higher-value expeditions and rewards | Trait rerolls at Flow | Save carefully |
| Lucky Potions | Expeditions, Story rewards, potion routes | Destiny and luck potion chains | Long-term reserve |
| Epic / Rare / Legendary Aura | Aura rolling | Gear and potion recipes | Protect recipe stacks |
Cloth
Cloth is the first material many players search for because it gates early crafting. It is bought from the Innkeeper when the shop rotation includes it. The fastest routine is simple: check the Innkeeper, buy all Cloth shown, then continue playing until the next restock instead of waiting at the shop.

Brass Metal Rings
Brass Metal Rings become important after the first Cloth craft because several mid-game equipment recipes can ask for them. If you see them in a shop rotation or earn them from material rewards, keep a reserve before spending them.
| When You Need Rings | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Before Chainmail | Stop selling related aura duplicates and save rings |
| Before Magnet or Teleporter | Build a larger reserve because these recipes can be expensive |
| While still early game | Buy or keep rings, but do not pause all progression just to farm them |
Fragments and Shards
Fragments and Shards are not just generic currencies. Fragments usually push gem upgrades forward, while Shards are used for trait rerolls. Shards are easier to waste because rerolling can consume them quickly without guaranteeing the trait you want.
| Currency | Best Use |
|---|---|
| Fragments | Upgrade Luck or element-specific Gems |
| Shards | Reroll traits only after you know your target build |
If you are still choosing an element, upgrade a general Luck route first. Once you know your chase aura or farming biome, invest in the matching element.
Lucky Potions
Lucky Potions are easy to underestimate because they look like consumables, but they also appear in expensive potion chains. Keep a long-term reserve if you plan to craft Destiny-style endgame potions.
The best sources are expeditions and Story rewards. Keep all expedition slots active whenever possible so potion income runs in the background.
Aura Ingredients
Some recipes use aura names or aura rarity stacks as ingredients. This is why auto-sell settings need to be adjusted around crafting goals.
| Aura Ingredient Type | Reserve Advice |
|---|---|
| Epic Aura | Keep the amount needed for early gear before selling |
| Legendary Aura | Protect large stacks for Chainmail and potion recipes |
| Nunchucks / Spartan / Cupid / Ascend | Keep named copies until you confirm they are not needed |
| Rare Aura stacks | Watch blueprint and utility crafts |
FAQ
What is the most important Unscathed material?
For new players, Cloth is the most urgent material because it appears early and has clear search demand. For mid-game players, Brass Metal Rings, Fragments, Shards, and Lucky Potions become more important.
Should I buy every material from the Innkeeper?
If you have enough cash, buying useful crafting materials is usually smart. Cloth and Brass Metal Rings are especially worth keeping because they connect to early and mid-game gear.
Why can't I craft even though I have some materials?
You are probably missing an aura ingredient, a currency stack, or a material that looks unrelated. Check the in-game recipe panel and compare every line, including rarity stacks like Epic Aura or Legendary Aura.
