What is worth knowing At 33 steps it is longer than 96% of solved elements, which puts it in our marathon band. Future Substance is close to a dead end. It feeds only 1 onward combination, so it is more of a collectible than a building block. Its crafting depth of 56 is unusually deep. Depth counts the longest chain needed to reach it, and most elements people search for sit well below this. Abstract concepts like Future Substance usually come from combining two things that are related in meaning rather than in substance. That is worth remembering if you go off-path. Full crafting path from the base elements Start with Water, Fire, Wind and Earth, then follow these 33 combinations in order.
