The Ascension update brought with it major changes to the game, including a reworking of the items available for purchase. Phasmophobia is known for giving you a sense of dread when you think about the possibility of dying, leaving behind your most valuable items. Additionally, the upgrades have major benefits that will highly impact your ghost-hunting experience.
What Is A Crucifix
The Crucifix prevents a ghost from beginning a hunt within its range. Upgrading it will gain you an additional use, for a maximum of two uses. After the crucifix runs out of uses, it will be destroyed, regardless of the tier level. Each tier upgrade also increases the effect range of the block. An extra benefit of tier III is having the ability to block one cursed hunt.
- Tier I - Level 8 - $30
- Tier II - Level 37 - $4,000
- Tier III - Level 90 - $20,000
What Is A Firelight
Firelights light the area around them while also slowing the rate at which you lose sanity within their range. The first two tiers have a short burn timer, making it crucial to upgrade to tier III. Tier III is waterproof, burns endlessly, and becomes non-consumable, making it worth the heavy price point.
- Tier I - Level 12 - $15
- Tier II - Level 47 - $3,000
- Tier III - Level 79 - $10,000 (Non-Consumable)
What Is An Igniter
An Igniter is used to light firelights, location candles, and incense. It provides a small range of light that increases with each tier. The burn timer will also increase with each tier, with tier III lasting ten minutes and becoming non-consumable. An added bonus is that tier III is waterproof.
- Tier I - Level 12 - $10
- Tier II - Level 41 - $500
- Tier III - Level 57 - $750 (Non-Consumable)
Custom Difficulty allows you to turn off item loss when you die. While you will not gain rewards when playing with this setting, it may be more enjoyable for casual players.
What Is An Incense
Lighting Incense will prevent a ghost from beginning a hunt within its range. This range increases with each tier upgrade. Using an incense during a hunt will slow or even stop the ghost in its tracks for a short period of time, allowing you to run and hide before it catches up to you. This timeframe also increases with each tier. Tier I will deter the ghost, tier II will deter and slow the ghost, and tier III will cause the ghost to stop moving for its burn duration.
- Tier I - Level 14 - $15
- Tier II - Level 42- $3,500
- Tier III - Level 85 - $15,000
What Is Salt
Placing Salt piles around your contract location will allow certain ghosts to leave footprints that are detectable with the ultravioletlight. Each tier adds an additional use to the item, with a maximum of three uses. Tier III has the added benefit of slowing ghosts that pass through it during a hunt.
- Tier I - Level 9 - $15
- Tier II - Level 43 - $2,500
- Tier III - Level 68 - $5,000
What Is Sanity Medication
Taking Sanity Medicationwill increase your sanity over a specified timeframe. Tier I takes 30 seconds, Tier II takes 20 seconds, and Tier III takes 10 seconds. Tier III also adds a sprint boost, making it extra helpful when you need a quick escape.
If you are playing on a custom difficulty, you can also increase or decrease the level of sanity that Sanity Medication restores upon consumption.
- Tier I - Level 16 - $20
- Tier II - Level 39 - $2,000
- Tier III - Level 77 - $5,000
