Items & Equipment

Obtaining Items & Equipment

While on Prochorbis, its isolated environment can make obtaining specific equipment a challenge. Items and equipment can be obtained through a number of ways.

Exploring the world

• Sometimes while exploring the world of Prochorbis, you can come across equipment from dead adventurers or alien ruins.

• While highly unlikely to find any modern weapons from your exploration, the world of Prochorbis is filled with ancient artifacts, relics, and magical items.

Buying from Vendors

• Vendors in the settlement will offer a new selection of random items and equipment every couple of expeditions. Keep your eye out for anything that interests you, because it likely won’t last long!

• As your settlement increases its Prosperity Levels, it will attract new merchants and vendors that will sell more specialized items & equipment.

• Similarly, as your settlement advances, a larger selection of items and equipment will become available at each vendor.

Requesting Items from Vendors

• Alternatively you can request an item from a vendor be shipped to Prochorbis.

• Since Prochorbis is a planet in the far reaches of the galaxy, and the only method of receiving a shipment is by drop pod, players will have to pay a large premium on requesting items.

• Requesting an item may be 2-5X the normal shop price of the item.

• Additionally, requesting an item may take a week or longer before the item is available for retrieval.

• When the item is available, it will be dropped down to Prochorbis at Anvilpoint Plains via a drop pod. The player will then be responsible for retrieving the item.

• However, if the player wants to pay an additional flat fee of 1000 credits, the item can be retrieved for them.

Crafting Items

• Crafting can be a useful way to obtain your desired items and equipment quickly and inexpensively.

• Players can trade credits to UPBs (universal polymer base) at a 1:1 ratio from vendors.

• Players must have an appropriate crafting bench in their lodging to craft an item or equipment.

• Players must use a full day of downtime in the settlement in order to craft a single item.

• Players must spend an amount of UPBs equal to the normal cost of the item in credits in order to craft the item.

• The DC for successfully crafting an item is equal to 15 + 1.5 x Item Level.

• If the player fails to craft the item, the UPBs are lost.

• Players can attempt to infuse an item with a special material for +5 to the DC.

Installing Weapon Attachments, Armor Upgrades, and Augmentations

• Installing Weapon Attachments, Armor Upgrades, and Augmentations can be done at an appropriate vendor for a fee of 200 credits per item level.

• Installing Weapon Attachments, Armor Upgrades, and Augmentations yourself requires an appropriate workbench and an additional check.

• Installing a Weapon Attachment requires a Weapon Crafting Bench and a successful Engineering check.

• Installing an Armor Upgrade requires an Armor Crafting Bench and a successful Engineering check.

• Installing an Augmentation requires a Medical Laboratory and a successful Medicine / Mysticism / Engineering check, depending on the type of augmentation.

• The DC for successfully installing an attachment, upgrade, or augmentation is 15 + 1.5 x Item Level.

• Installing an item takes a full day of downtime. You can take multiple days to try to install an item, with each consecutive day giving an additional +1 bonus, up to a maximum of 5 days.

• You can try to install an item a total of three times before the item breaks and is unusable.

Fishing Lures and Bait

• Catching a fish using your hands takes a -10 bonus to skill checks to catch fish.

• The DC for crafting bait and lure is 15 + 1.5 x Item Level.

• Bait and Lures weight 0.1 bulk each (light bulk).

• Fishing bait is a one time use item, and can be crafted using a piece of an animal or plant, and requires a successful Life Science check without the need for a workbench.

• Fishing lure is crafted using a piece of an animal, plant, or appropriate metal, and requires a successful Engineering check and a Technology workbench.

• The item level of the bait and lure is the bonus it confers to your survival check to catch a fish. The higher the item level, the bigger the bonus to your roll.

• Lures & Bait sometimes only confers a bonus to a specific biome.
