What Are Signal Arrays?
Signal Arrays is a parallel idle skill unlike any other lifeskill. Instead of a single work order, you operate multiple independent channels simultaneously — each channel continuously collects signal_data of a chosen tier without requiring your attention.
How Channels Work
Each channel runs on its own cycle timer and accumulates signal_data while you fight, explore, or craft. When a channel has completed enough cycles, it shows as ready. Visit the Signal Arrays screen to collect your gathered materials and apply the earned experience.
Unlocking More Channels
You start with one channel. Additional channels unlock as your Signal Arrays level increases. Higher-level channels can be set to higher-tier signal_data — worth more to Signal Etching but with slower cycle times.
Feeding Signal Etching
Signal_data gathered here feeds directly into Signal Etching, which produces offensive sigils and utility combat consumables. Running multiple high-tier channels simultaneously is the most efficient way to stockpile materials for advanced sigil crafting.
