Real-time client calculations
• Theorycrafting Pro-Tip
Every entity and every number here comes from the shipped data copy this site carries or from the 1.4 notes. That copy predates v1.4, so where it is silent, this planner prints a gap instead of a guess.
Each Traveler is built around a distinct kit. Cetus accumulates Cold in his blood for burst damage while conjuring Glaciers and Blizzard zones to control movement and shield allies; Shell's Laceration alternates between a Red and a Blue form on every basic attack.
Memories are your active casts, each with its own cooldown, charges and rarity from Common up to Unique. Essences socket into a Memory to reshape it: Essence of Inversion for example fixes its cooldown increase at 20% in v1.4 while granting bonus damage and inverting its element (Fire/Cold, Light/Dark).
The shipped achievement data gates fifteen records on an internal condition key that starts with LucidDream_. Step 3 of the planner lists each one verbatim with its own requirement, because no official source publishes the display names or the reward values behind that key family.
