ANOMALITH Base and Upgrades Guide: Workshop, 300+ Outfits, and Base Staff

The official main loop is Dive, Retrieve, Return: enter an Anomaly Zone, fight Anomalies and recover items, then bring them back to base. The base step is where the loop converts into power, since the Workshop unlocks and upgrades weapons, gear, and skills.

The Workshop flow is consistent across all three upgrade types: spend dive currency and recovered materials to unlock something new or raise the level of something you already own. That shared pool is the reason extraction discipline matters, since a dive that brings back the wrong materials cannot fund the upgrade you wanted.

Outfit and gear pieces total 300+, spread across 9 gear categories, and they affect stats. The category names and the full piece list are unpublished, so this guide records the counts and the stat effect, and leaves the full catalog for a post-launch supplement.

The verified gear screenshot shows the decision in miniature: a named piece at a level, a defense value, and a material cost. Use the same check for every piece you consider, since a higher level is only worth its cost when the stat gain fits the zone you are about to enter.

Appearance can be changed freely, and changing it leaves stats untouched. That separation is official: dress for preference on a dive, and let the equipped gear pieces carry the stats underneath.

In practice, settle the loadout in two passes. First pass: pick pieces by stat value for the next zone. Second pass: change appearance to whatever you prefer, knowing the stats stay as set in the first pass.

Base staff provide upgrades and story progression between dives. Research chief Imari Fushimi develops equipment from items recovered in Anomaly Zones. Security chief May Hibiya is a former elite Diver, and her role covers base security.

Kyoka Sudo founded the Anomaly Zone Countermeasures Office and leads it as chief, having survived an Anomaly Zone on her own power. Yuiga Koda is the office operator and Reona's partner, giving precise support during dives. Check in with staff on each return, since upgrades and story beats both route through the base.

Yes, in the official loop: dives end with a return to base, and the Workshop there unlocks and upgrades weapons, gear, and skills using dive currency and materials.
