Items (Guide)

Also known as item conversions

A general tip is that it's useful to keep stockpiles of third-tier items and only convert up to higher levels when you need something specific. This enables you to convert across categories easily, which also helps to grind Making Waves for certain conversions. See Section 2 below.
