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