Luminary Tools Hub

Mechanics guides explain how Luminary works; tools help you execute. This Tools Hub hosts browser-based helpers built into the wiki — no account login, no cloud sync, no replacement for in-game progression. Luminary has been live on Steam Early Access since 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 long co-op nights and alt rerolls.

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

Performance settings tool

Performance Settings walks through graphics presets, resolution scaling, co-op host tuning, and Steam Deck-friendly options for the live Early Access build. Use it when frame drops appear during Tower interiors, boss fights, or three-player online sessions — pair with System Requirements if you are still verifying hardware headroom.

When to use tools versus guides

Tracking personal session prep	Launch Checklist tool
Drafting party loadouts before raid night	Build Notes tool
Fixing stutter or low FPS in live EA	Performance Settings tool

Privacy and limitations

All 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 your first live session.
2. Tune graphics on Performance Settings if co-op hosting feels sluggish.
3. Draft co-op roles in Build Notes after reading Roles and Party Tips.
4. Execute sessions using Town Hub and Map Hub guides.
5. Reset checklist sections when major patches change your routine.

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