Luminary Tools Hub

Mechanics guides explain how Luminary works; tools help you execute. This Tools Hub hosts two browser-based helpers built into the wiki — no account login, no cloud sync, no replacement for in-game progression. Refractive Entertainment launches Steam Early Access on August 11, 2026 at $19.99 with dense systems — four town vendors, three weapons, half-map OpenZone, online co-op — and these tools reduce forgotten steps during launch week and long co-op nights.

Tools complement written guides rather than duplicating them. Read Getting Started and How to Play Luminary for mechanics; use tools to track personal prep and draft builds.

Launch checklist tool

Launch Checklist documents the interactive checklist embedded on that page. Check off demo lessons, hardware verification, vendor orientation, co-op invite setup, and first-session priorities. Progress saves in your browser local storage — return tomorrow without losing checks. Reset when you roll an alt or start a fresh co-op group.

Best for: players converting from Very Positive demo to Early Access purchase, hosts preparing three-player sessions, and returning players after long breaks who need a structured hub-to-OpenZone routine.

Build notes pad tool

Build Notes describes the textarea pad on that page for drafting weapon focus, vendor spending order, co-op role assignments, and Tier farm routes. Notes save locally in the browser only — not shared with party members automatically. Copy paste into Discord if your group collaborates externally at discord.gg/NNrurAT5um.

Best for: planning Melee Build, Ranged Build, or Magic Build proficiency splits before committing ore at Vendors and Crafting.

When to use tools versus guides

Situation	Use
Learning Tower liberation phases	Liberate Towers
Tracking personal launch tasks	Launch Checklist tool
Drafting party loadouts before raid night	Build Notes tool
Verifying GPU headroom	System Requirements
Understanding co-op rules	How Co-op Works

Privacy and limitations

Both tools store data in local browser storage only. Clearing site data wipes progress. Incognito sessions do not persist checks or notes after closing the window. Tools do not connect to Steam or Luminary saves — verify in-game gear separately before hard content.

Mobile and Steam Deck usage

Checklist and notes work on modern mobile browsers and Steam Deck browser for quick hub reference between sessions. For in-game control binding, prefer Steam Deck Controls or Controller Controls over wiki tools mid-fight.

Recommended workflow

1. Complete hardware and demo items on Launch Checklist before August 11.
2. Draft co-op roles in Build Notes after reading Roles and Party Tips.
3. Execute session using Town Hub and Map Hub guides.
4. Reset checklist sections when seasons or major patches change your routine.

Tools stay updated when wiki maintainers adjust checklist items for new Early Access milestones — cross-read Early Access Roadmap after major patches.
