=== Obtaining Equipment ===

If you want to try to obtain equipment during a downtime, you must expend a combination of temporary ''Resources'' and ''Influences'' dots to obtain them. Combat equipment, vehicles, and specialized equipment usually has a base cost of 1 (to get a junk item). Non-combat, otherwise legal equipment generally doesn't have a base cost.

If you utilize at least 3 '''Underworld''' in the purchase of weapons, they receive the Advanced Quality ''Untraceable''—the serial numbers are filed off or maybe the whole thing was 3D printed, making it much harder to be traced by mundane mortal investigation. Conversely, if you utilize at least 3 '''Elite''', they receive the Advanced Quality ''Legitimate'' meaning it has ownership papers and is registered, meaning it is more likely to stand up to scrutiny to mortal authorities. Weapons purchased with only resources don't get either of these.

You may also expend a combination of a relevant ''Crafts'' skill and ''Resources'', and using at least one dot in ''Crafts'', to craft an item of the appropriate number of dots used. Dots in ''Crafts'' are not expended when used in a downtime and can be used multiple times in the same round of downtimes, unlike ''Resources'' which are expended after a single use. You may not use ''Influence'' to increase the number of dots going towards a crafted item. Different ''Craft'' skills that can be applied to the same equipment do not stack for the purposes of making that equipment. So ''Crafts: Computers 3'' and ''Crafts: Motherboards 2'' cannot be combined in the same downtime action to make a 5 point equipment.

You must have at least 3 dots in the appropriate ''Crafts'' skill in order to craft an Artisan equipment, and at least 5 dots to craft a Masterwork equipment, regardless of the number of dots of ''Crafts'' used for the equipment. You may purchase Artisan and Masterwork using dots for a guaranteed equipment with that quality, or you may instead opt for a check to remove the cost of the quality and risk unsuccessfully crafting that equipment on a failure. If you have at least ''Crafts'' 5 in the appropriate crafts you may obtain Artisan for free without a check.

Buying an equipment using ''Influence'' and ''Resources'' does not require the expenditure of a downtime aciton. However, making an equipment using ''Crafts'' expends a downtime action.

==== Explosives ====

Equipment that can cause extreme destruction and potentially kill multiple players in one hit is generally discouraged or outright restricted. There may be ways to get these in extremely limited qualities, but it will also attract a large amount of attention from hunters or other undesirable organizations. If you attempt to purchase or craft items like this, you will likely fail.
