Kepler was introduced when The Edge of Fate update came out, which served as a new location for Guardians to explore and complete a new campaign.
There are certain resources found specifically on Kepler that have been categorized based on their type, which can all be found in this location.
Obtaining them can be done in different ways, and to make things easier, we have put together lists to help you find everything that you may need.
Materials (Destination Materials)
Materials on Kepler come in 4 different types, which are obtainable based on the region that you are exploring, and these have certain uses at the Altar of Relativity.
The following are the materials that can be obtained on Kepler and the regions where they are found:
- Phaseglass Refraction – Found in Assimilated Easement and Stellar Sink (The Gorge)
- Alkane Mutation – Found in Curtilage Divide and Augur’s Bethel (Exile’s Accord)
- Timelost Spirit Bloom – Found in Aionian Campus and Caldera (Central Academy)
- Nine-Touched Relic Iron – Found in The Stacks and Outer Wastes (Outer Steppes)
Substrates (Quantum Substances)
Substrates include all Quantum Traces, which are obtained by defeating specific enemies found in certain regions on Kepler.
These Quantum Substances are used to make specific purchases from the Altar of Relativity or to reactivate mysteries that you have completed.
The following are the Quantum Substances that can be obtained:
- Word-Bearer
- Assimilation Scout
- Well of the Archon
- Polus

Fated Ciphers
Fated Ciphers are required to focus gear at the Altar of Relativity and will be needed along with a certain material, depending on the current Daily Region.
These can be obtained by completing activities on Kepler as well as doing runs of The Sieve and Time Latch missions.
Using Fated Ciphers in the Focused Decoding menu of the Altar of Relativity will allow you to purchase Kepler Engrams, which will provide you with random gear from Kepler.
Higher-tier Kepler Engrams will provide you with better gear, but this will also require more Fated Ciphers to be used.
Verdict
During your first hours playing The Edge Of Fate expansion, you will often encounter several materials and rarely come face to face with combatants that drop Quantum Substances.
As you progress through the campaign, complete activities, and more, Fated Ciphers are bound to be obtained and can be used later.
You can always check what resources you have on Kepler by opening the map, followed by opening the “Map Guide” when viewing it to see what you currently have.
