Every item carries one of these, so you can tell a guaranteed route from a lucky one without opening the page.
We have a normal source you can reach without another major unlock.
A quest, system or area has to open before the normal route appears.
Obtainable, but the recorded source is random rather than a certainty.
Normal acquisition is recorded for later progression, not where you are now.
Tied to a season or event that is not currently running.
The recorded data for this item is incomplete or inconsistent, so we are still confirming how it is obtained.
We have not confirmed a reliable way to obtain this during normal play, so we say so instead of guessing a location.
If we have not confirmed a reliable way to obtain an item during normal play, we say so instead of guessing a location. That is a gap in what we have checked, not a puzzle for you to solve.
If you know the recipe but not why it is blocked, the Dependency Checker walks the requirement chain one unlock at a time.
