The Traveler's talent upgrade system is unique. Unlike most characters using consistent materials, Aether and Lumine require different materials for each element, varying even across talent levels. This guide clarifies these requirements. Ascension material lists are separate due to the Traveler's multi-elemental nature. Click here for the Traveler's ascension materials.
