Can't Trade Alabaster Matter To Furnace

Can't trade Alabaster Matter to the Temenos Furnace

-I have Temenenos verification key
-I have done several full runs including opening the chest at the end
-I click on the furnace and it says "You are authorized to use Temenos Units"

Anything I am missing?

The alabaster matter you have is from login, or is it from the chest? The first time you open the chest you are guaranteed one alabaster matter, and unlocks the ability to make the gear.

from login points

Do you have both items already? Are you trading it with an item?

Just Alabaster Matter. Trading Alabaster Matter by itself. I have to do a new full climb to obtain from the chest before I can trade to the furnace?

Yep, you have to obtain it from the chest before you can make one. It was in the patch notes from a recent update.

Didn't he say he did full runs and opened chest?

Someone is lying.

I meant to say I have done full runs in the past and opened the chest, I have NOT done a full run and open a chest and getting Alabaster Matter. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

You get a matter 100% on first full clear.

...So the trigger to get the gear or upgrade it from the furnace is you have to have obtained a matter from the chest at the end of a run and not login points? Seems kind of weird (interesting) to make that game event a requirement before the furnace gives you the dialogue, given that they are now offering it for free. The logical thing a new player who has never done any climbs would would do would be to trade the matter to the furnace to get the items.

They are really quadrupling down on opening those damn chests...

Only if he opened it after the matter was added to climbs

Damn SE for making us play the game!

But why would you not farm chests. Even if you arent doing 10x a week, are you just sitting at 30k cap and botfarming units to upgrade af/relic you dont use???


Theres gonna be a lot of pissy people when the ugly white AA sets costs more than the 30k cap they have available to them.

Because the content is boring as ***.

Units from the ???, not from bot farming. It's free.

30k (or realistically, 33-45k), is a more than high enough cap. If you're actively upgrading armor, you'll never get remotely close to cap anyway (unless doing a body, and even then the cap is not an issue).


Maybe. Or maybe not.

Players with a 30k unit cap won't be upgrading accessories beyond rank 21, and I think we can reasonably assume that the augments for the armor will follow a similar unit cost system. I've seen these kinds of excuses being made for all the new content that we've received in the past ~6 years. The playerbase ignores it for a long time because they hate change/don't enjoy the content/don't have interest in the rewards/etc, then all of a sudden the gear is "best in slot" or becomes desirable in some way, and now they exclaim that they can't ignore the content anymore and are frustrated because they are now behind.

Yeah and uh...you have 21 ranks of accessories (or armor) to increase your cap from 30k.

So like...2 chest upgrades and you can upgrade it to 25?

The cap won't be a problem, for anyone, unless they make it like 50k to uncurse a piece of armor. It's just dreaming and hoping from people who are proud of their unit caps.

And yeah...there are plenty of people who don't do content that isn't rewarding or fun, because it's not rewarding. I don't think it's an unreasonable position to hold. Frankly, I've done very few Limbus climbs because I already have all the armor I need, most of the armor I want, and the accessories augments are largely irrelevant.

You aren't upgrading accessories to anything unless you're opening chests for the matter, so it doesn't really matter. The one or two freebies a year from logins aren't getting you near rank 21 anytime in the near future.

I said this under the assumption a newer player might get the matter from login points and be completely new to Limbus. There's probably zero chance they'd qualify for climb groups at 119, but if the matter is free, they get an easy piece of gear for no effort to help them get geared up. Just find it awfully strange there's a game event connected to opening your first chest and getting a matter from there, before the npc even accepts it. It's a precedent that's very rarely followed in quests (having to trigger an event to actually use it turn in an item if you obtain it outside of the normal means).
