Devil Hunter items span everything from starter katanas to endgame Devil Hearts used in hybrid transformation. Knowing where each item drops, what it crafts into, and whether it belongs in your build saves hours of farming the wrong raid. This hub categorizes the four item systems most players ask about and links to deep dives on acquisition and usage.
Item Categories
- Weapons — melee, ranged, and martial arts gear with crafting recipes.
- Contracts — devil pacts, slots, and upgrade mechanics.
- Surgery Kit — how to obtain and when you need one.
- Devil Hearts — hybrid transformation components.
Item Economy Basics
Yen from missions funds HQ vendors and crafting fees. Devil flesh and raid fragments gate higher-tier recipes. Black Market stock rotates — check our Black Market map guide for location and typical inventory. Codes from the codes page inject rerolls and currency without farming.
Crafting vs Drops
Most meta weapons are crafted at Public Safety HQ using materials from Floor Zero and early raids. Some S-tier weapons also drop rarely from bosses; crafting remains the reliable path for new players following the beginner walkthrough.
Consumables and Kits
Surgery kits, health items, and buff consumables sit outside the tier list but gate progression. Running Katana raid without healing items punishes learning groups — stock up before LFG queues.
Item Progression by Stage
- Early: Replace starter katana with crafted B-tier weapon.
- Mid: First contract from Floor Zero; optional surgery kit quest.
- Late: Farm devil hearts and fragments for hybrid or S-tier weapon finishes.
Cross-reference item goals with the weapon tier list and contract tier list so every farm session moves toward a ranked pick.
