How reserves work

We sum identified single-item hand-in requirements for incomplete quests and construction costs between your current and desired hideout levels. Completed quests and recorded hand-ins are removed separately. Found in Raid reserves use eligible copies first; the shortage is the greater of total and FIR shortages.

When we say CHECK

Alternative items, special conditions, stale datasets, incomplete profiles, and unknown objective semantics prevent a confident surplus calculation. Future quests remain included even when level-locked. Quest branches, equipment objectives, branch and equipment eligibility are not fully modeled, so live data currently cannot certify SELL. Selected barter and craft goals reserve their actual inputs separately. Identified reserves are a lower bound, not a guarantee that all future uses are covered.

Progress is manual

No game memory access, account scraping, or automatic syncing is used. Inventory and progression persist in localStorage independently of API availability. Each mode keeps its own progression and inventory; exports contain the selected mode. Trader estimates do not account for item condition; flea averages exclude fees and eligibility restrictions.

Freshness

Mode-specific JSON datasets are validated on the server, refreshed hourly, and retried once. A verified bundled snapshot is used when available and clearly marked stale. Game updates can invalidate previous rules; stale or unverified data never certifies a sale.
