Invasion players, how do you get crafting materials?

[Nifti]

I want to try invasions some time later, however useful consumables are pretty expensive since a lot of materials do not respawn. I heard that it is possible to exchange items between players and backup saves, so I have several questions.
1. Is this the only comfortable way to ger materials?
2. Are there any conditions when I can get banned after save backup?
3. Where I can find person that can help me? Maybe there is a discord server for such help

There is a pathway to such consumables, a pathway some consider to be.... unnatural.

There are two main methods that get used/abused. You can either use a cheat engine to get yourself a near-infinite number of whatever you want (just remove it before going back online) or back up your save manually, and revert to it whenever you run out of consumables you've picked up naturally. The ethics surrounding both methods are cloudy, and you'll get plenty of people arguing on both sides of each. Up to you.

Farming is just not funny

i just spawn everything with cheat engine and try to limit my use of stuff like meat dumplings and shards vs honest pve squads. its safe to use CE offline with luke yuis offline launcher to make builds. i use the grand archives table.

People don't like cheating.

Frankly, I don't like it either when it's used to gain unfair advantage against other players, particularly when the activity is literally greifing to begin with.

I don't have issue with using it for coop and helping other players, though.

BAH, different opinion, , would personnally never use a cheat engine or exploit in a game i really like, but do what you want, its okay as long you never cross the "beat players using my exploit" line, and a fine line that is

I also do not enjoy it and had a lot of thoughts before asking this question. Maybe in duels it is too much, but in invasions since it is not just 1v1, not having a consumables feels like a big limitation. The worst part is that you can still use it, but you need to farm a lot and clean up the map through many ng+. So I decided to consider that cheating as possible way just to save my time.
However, as I see, there is no optimal way to get stuff without third party programs :D
And I don't really want to perform experiments on my single account with already done characters. And I don't think I will use these methods to cheat, it's just not worth it.

Just use manual saves. There are plenty of guides on how to do so online, you only need a basic file manager, there's no risk of bans, and it's very easy once you figure it out the first time.
