Blocks and Ores¶
World route
The world side of Axo Tales is more than one ore drop. Arcane Matter, Arcane Crystals, and movement-block bonuses all feed progression now, while Arcane Grass remains a decorative builder-facing block.
Core resource chain¶
Arcane Matter Ore
Ships in stone and volcanic variants. Both feed the same main crafting material, which keeps the ore route relevant whether you are in calmer terrain or volcanic regions.
Shipped defaults: 50% chance per new chunk, target 12 placements, max 256 attempts per chunk.
Arcane Crystal
Acts like a routeable resource node now, not random world clutter. Crystals also feed Kudu Adept bonding and several core recipes.
Shipped defaults: 64-block density radius, max 1 crystal in that radius, 33% chance per placement attempt.
Arcane Crystal Shards
The shared premium ingredient across gear, spellbooks, and potions. Shards also trigger Adept bonding when dropped near one.
Decorative and movement blocks¶
Arcane Grass
A decorative arcane grass variant with transition textures. Treat it as builder content rather than a progression material.
Cloud Block
Directional movement tech. It is pass-through, can be placed on floors, walls, or ceilings, and launches based on the direction you enter it.
Shipped defaults: 6-block target height, 1.0s rearm, 4.0s chain reset.
Bounce Block
The more predictable vertical movement block. It launches upward only and grows stronger through chained bounces.
Shipped defaults: 4-block base target height, +2 blocks per chain, 18-block cap.
How these blocks enter play¶
- Arcane Matter ore is the main crafted-resource route.
- Arcane Crystals and Shards feed both recipes and the Kudu companion lane.
- Cloud and Bounce Blocks are bonus drops rather than normal bench crafts.
- Kudu Rune Knights, Kudu Adepts, and Arcane Matter ore can all feed the movement-block pool.
