Understand Resourceful Retriever
Useful when…
- Beast companion setups focused on gathering resources
- Players choosing between resource, credit, or combined pickup doubling
Chance and rank scaling
The mod has a 5.5% chance to double resource pickups at rank 0, 13% at rank 3, and 18% at rank 5. It doubles resource pickups when its chance succeeds; it does not promise that every pickup is doubled.
Compatibility and rank costs
Resourceful Retriever is a standard Beast mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. Loyal Retriever and Prosperous Retriever are listed as incompatible, so this mod cannot be combined with either. Higher ranks improve the chance, with the supplied fusion examples showing increasing Endo and credit costs.
Choose the pickup effect
Loyal Retriever is described as a 13% chance to double both Credit and Resource pickups, while Prosperous Retriever is an 18% chance to double Credit pickups. Fetch has a different function: a 13.5 m gather-link that detects and collects items, including mods. These have different targets and mechanics; Resourceful Retriever specifically offers the listed resource doubling chance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- An 18% chance is not a guarantee on a given resource pickup.
- The mod is incompatible with the named Retriever alternatives.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting every resource pickup to double.
- Planning to equip Resourceful Retriever with Loyal Retriever or Prosperous Retriever.
