Resolve routines and survey improvements

Spend the correct points or notes on the benefit you intend to use.

Resolve is a combat resource

Field records can provide Resolve points through their described filing action. Equipping food and gaining Resolve are separate operations. A Resolve routine can consume points on player attacks, enemy attacks or regeneration events.

Choose routines that suit the current role and budget. A description such as improved evasion changes a combat statistic; it does not guarantee that attacks miss. The routine’s level and point costs still apply while active.

Surveying turns observations into improvements

Surveying work produces notes or observations used by its field-improvement offers. These offers list their mastery requirements, item costs, maximum ranks and cumulative effects.

Repeated ranks can increase material costs even when the cash price remains zero. A free cash label is not a free upgrade. Follow the offer’s material basket and its per-rank scaling.

Use the live result

A permanent improvement can stack with equipment, tool and mastery effects under the game’s normal limits. Compare the actual work or combat quote after investing instead of adding every percentage as though it used the same formula.

Save some notes or points for the next useful improvement rather than spending them only because an offer is currently available.

Resolve routines

Costs are Resolve points at base values. Active modifiers can change the live charge.
