Task Bar Hero Material Priority For Beginners
Material priority is mostly about avoiding irreversible mistakes. Hold scarce or system-linked materials until you know the next upgrade layer.
Priority Table
Read the tier as a beginner decision aid, not as a permanent ranking.

The right priority depends on what is blocking the account.
- Never use rarity alone as the whole decision.
- Check whether the material belongs to Decoration, Engraving, Inscription, or another system.
- Treat market and live-obtainable flags as checks, not price predictions.
When This Priority Applies
Use these scenarios to decide whether this list matches the problem in front of you.
Scarcity check
Use high-rarity, Torment-linked, and market-tradable flags as reasons to pause before consuming a stack.
Upgrade planning
Use material priority together with item records so routine resources and scarce resources are not treated the same.
When To Ignore This List
A beginner priority page should prevent mistakes. It should not force the same answer onto every account state.
- Ignore routine cleanup advice when the material is high-rarity, market-tradable, or tied to a scarce upgrade layer.
- Ignore market checks when you are offline or cannot verify current Steam listing behavior.
- Do not treat a material as safe fuel just because the current page does not publish a live price.
