Common Mistakes
- Spending Luminary Points without planning — There is no respec mechanism. Fix: plan your Luminary path before spending points.Community-reported
- Trying to upgrade without the Luminary node — Hearth upgrades must be purchased through the skill tree, not directly at the Hearth. Fix: open the Luminary tree first.Community-reported
- Farming materials for the wrong level — Check your current Hearth level before gathering. Fix: verify your level at the Hearth interface.Community-reported
