Unlock timeline

Every system opens when you first clear a certain Hunt stage. Losing later never takes anything away.

In the early stages Varro the lanista walks up the road after the clear and explains what just opened. From Stage II on, a system simply opens on its stage's clear, with a short card that shows you where it is.

Gear milestones

Two changes to drops come with the item's level rather than a stage:

• From item level 30, drops can carry an affinity (most are still neutral).
• From item level 40, drops can carry enchantments.

Forge Materials (for upgrades) only start dropping once Faber the Smith is open at V-1.
