Scale Coin

Most item pages in this library have nothing to do with combat power. The item catalog breaks down heavily toward city-life content — 695 Consumables, 258 Furniture pieces, 121 Auto-Use items, 98 Quest items, 50 Locker Keys, 45 Fashion pieces, and dozens more categories for cooking, figures, and vehicle skins.

• The one tag that actually flags a character-progression material is DevelopMaterial — only 79 items carry it out of the entire catalog.
• If an item page doesn't show that tag, treat its contents as city-life flavor: gifts, cooking ingredients, furniture, or fashion — not something worth farming for stat growth.
• Within those 79, the function differs further: some feed character level EXP, some feed account-level Hunter EXP, some are ascension books, and some are module (equipment) upgrade fuel — the item page's own description line says which.

NTE runs 6 rarity tiers in total — White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Red, mapped to D/C/B/A/S/SS — but equipment modules only ever spawn in three of them.

• Blue, Purple, and Orange (B/A/S) are the only tiers Console modules actually use.
• If an item page shows White, Green, or Red, that item is guaranteed not to be a wearable module — it's a material, a currency-adjacent object, or something else the badge is just labeling for general value, not gear power.
• Red (SS) exists as a defined tier in the rarity table, but no module currently spawns in it — seeing Red on a page is not "the best gear tier," it just means the item sits outside the equipment system entirely for now.

An item page's source section can point to two structurally different systems, and mixing them up wastes farming time.

• Drop source: the item is tied to a weighted drop sequence with a cap — usually attached to a monster or a world activity. This means the plan is to repeat that specific encounter, and the drop rate/limit shown is what governs how often a run pays off.
• Compose recipe: the item instead lists a set of smaller piece items plus an exchange rate — it's assembled at a crafting screen, not dropped directly. There are 42 compose recipes across the catalog that work this way, mostly converting a pile of lower-tier pieces into one higher-tier item.
• If a page shows no monster or activity link at all, check for a recipe list before assuming the item is unobtainable — it likely just needs to be built instead of farmed.
