Materials are a type of item in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Materials are most often obtained by defeating enemies, and often take the form of a body part or possession of the defeated foe. Many materials can also be obtained by using Reward Tickets at the Network Console in the BLADE Barracks.
Like Important Items and collectibles, materials are often needed to complete Missions. Materials are also needed for the creation of Augments. They can be sold for Credits.
If the party has 99 of any material in their inventory, any additional collected material is automatically sold.
Materials, like Armor and Weapons, have five rarity levels: common, rare, unique, prime, and intergalactic.
