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 Wastes.

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.
