Tier System (T1–T8)
Every craftable item exists in 8 tiers. Higher tiers require higher-tier materials, profession levels, and crafting stations. Stats scale per tier using base + perTier × (tier − 1). The D5 rename moved "Legendary" from T5 to T8.
Crafting Stations: T1–T5 use standard stations (Anvil, Sawmill, Loom, etc.).
T6–T7 require Master stations. T8 requires Divine stations and Divine Essence.
T7–T8 recipes are drop-only (recipe scrolls from bosses).
