There are four tiers of each type of hacking container. Each of the four tiers of containers typically contains one type of item, but in rare cases will contain an item in the next highest tier. The most rare items can only be found in the fourth tier container. The tiers can be slightly misleading, as the hacking difficulty seems to be hardest for the tier 3 containers.

Caskets - Serpentis Faction Materials

Caskets are found in the Serpentis Survey Site in the Skeleton Comet in Deltole. They require a Data Analyzer to access them. They reliably drop Serpentis Materials and Compounds, and often drop Serpentis Artifacts and Prototypes as well. On the market, these are found under Manufacture & Research, Materials, Faction Materials, Serpentis. Note that the Serpentis Materials and Compounds can also be found in standard Serpentis Data Sites.

Container Name	Tier	Hacking Difficulty	Materials and Compounds	Artifacts and Prototypes
Fiction	1	Low	Current Amplifier	Serpentis Plain Target Guider
Rumor	2	Moderate	Second-hand Parts	Serpentis Basic Target Guider
Authentic	3	Hardest	Heat Depressor	Serpentis Complex Target Guider
Fact	4	Hard	Internal Bulkhead	Serpentis 3D Scanner Gamut
	5		Mainframe Bit	Serpentis Multi-tasking Processor

Monuments - Yan Jung Materials

Monuments can be found in three locations in Deltole: the Yan Jung Ruins (Deltole VI - Moon 1, static cosmic signature JTD-372), the Ancient Ruins in the Skeleton Comet (requires a Smuggler Knot Lock to access), or the final room of the Yan Jung Relic Site (requires a Gargoyle Passkey to access). They require a Relic Analyzer to access them. They reliably drop Yan Jung Materials and Compounds, and often drop Yan Jung Artifacts and Prototypes as well. On the market, these are found under Manufacture & Research, Materials, Faction Materials, Yan Jung.

Container Name	Tier	Hacking Difficulty	Materials and Compounds	Artifacts and Prototypes
Ruined	1	Low	Yan Jung Null Shell	Yan Jung Crystal Cylinder
Broken	2	Moderate	Yan Jung Glass Scale	Yan Jung Paradox Box
Impaired	3	Hardest	Yan Jung Silk Armor	Yan Jung Void Machine
Busted	4	Hard	Yan Jung Plenary Wire	Yan Jung Thunder Kite
	5		Yan Jung Nano Fabric	Yan Jung Tachyon Stetoscope

Crystals - Yan Jung Decryptors

Crystals can be found in the same three locations as Monuments. They require a Relic Analyzer to access them. They reliably drop both Yan Jung Decryptors, and the Yan Jung Technology skill book. On the market, the decryptors are found under Manufacture & Research, Materials, Faction Materials, Yan Jung.

Container Name	Tier	Hacking Difficulty	Decryptors	Skill Books
Cracked	1	Low	Yan Jung Vellum Etch	Yan Jung Technology
Fractured	2	Moderate	Yan Jung Info Matrix	Yan Jung Technology
Pulsing	3	Hardest	Yan Jung Semiotic Theory	Yan Jung Technology
Intact	4	Hard	Yan Jung Trigonometric Laws	Yan Jung Technology
	5		Yan Jung Singularity Fact Sheet	Yan Jung Technology

Hacking Container Difficulty

The hacking mini-game involves revealing nodes on a grid until you find the System Core. Some nodes will impede your progress, while some others provide tools to help you.

Your analyzer module has two important attributes: coherence and strength. Coherence is a measure of how much "damage" you can take before failing the hack. Strength is a measure of how much "damage" you inflict on nodes that impede your progress.

The Anti-Virus and Firewall nodes are the two most common that impede your progress. In the table below, the "c" is the coherence of these nodes (how much total "damage" you must inflict on it). The "s" is the strength of these nodes (how much "damage" it inflicts on you).

For example, if your analyzer has a strength of 30, and you attack a node rated 40c / 20s. You will reduce its coherence down by 30 (to 10), but take 20 damage to your current coherence. If your strength is equal or higher than a node's current coherence, your own coherence will not be damaged.

Tools that you find can be used to either increase your coherence directly, or provide bonuses when attacking nodes.

More difficult hacking containers may have additional nodes and tools. Once a Restoration node is revealed, it will restore coherence to other nodes that impede your progress. Once a Virus Suppressor node is revealed, it will reduce your analyzer's attack strength. In most circumstances, it is important to clear Restoration and Virus Suppressor nodes as quickly as possible. Traveling along the edge of the grid towards the far corners is typically the safest way of successfully hacking the most difficult containers.
