Pyrecraft

Fires run in parallel to your main lifeskill work order. You can gather, craft, and explore while your fires burn in the background. Each fire consumes a set amount of resources per cycle. When you run out of fuel, the fire goes out and the buff ends.

Five families of fires are available, each targeting a different aspect of survival:

Kindling Smokes. Accelerate gathering speed, letting you harvest resources faster across all disciplines.

Lure Smokes. Increase the rate at which hostile creatures appear, perfect for grinding experience and loot.

Scout Flares. Reveal unexplored tiles on the map without physically traveling to them.

Ward Incenses. Provide passive health regeneration over time, keeping your nomad topped off between fights.

Trailblaze Torches. Speed up exploration, reducing the time it takes to traverse The Wilderness.

Only one fire from each family can be burning at a time. Lighting a new Kindling Smoke while one is already burning will replace the old fire. However, fires from different families stack. You can burn a Lure Smoke and a Ward Incense simultaneously.

Higher-tier fires produce stronger effects but consume more expensive resources per cycle. As you master individual recipes, fuel costs decrease. letting your fires burn longer on the same stockpile. Managing your timber reserves against fire consumption is the core strategy of Pyrecraft.

Pyrecraft also shapes the wooden staves used by Arcanists and Sages. Each staff binds a length of timber to a matching echo shard at the campfire. the wood determines the staff's tier and the shard sets its caster focus. Unlike metal weapons, staves never pass through the forge.
