Ember is a rare and precious resource found in the world of Coda. There are 5 rarities of embers. An unknown type of ember was shown in the Conviction trailer[1] of the game.
Overview
A naturally occurring, dangerous by-product of the Anthem of Creation, used as a foundation for human technology. While active ember can be found throughout Bastion, it is most bountiful around the Engineer city of Heliost. Legend has it that the Urgoth enslaved humanity because the Urgoth could not manipulate ember, whereas humans could.
Ember is necessary to create the gateway between the human mind and the Anthem and, while excessive exposure to ember can be dangerous, it is often applied to Cyphers during their training.
Ember is a rare material and can be found by harvesting mineral nodes and plants, by opening treasure chests, and by salvaging equipment. Each rarity of ember represents each level of the crafting process, each rarity of resulting equipment. Therefore, salvaging equipment of a certain rarity will provide an ember of the same rarity.

Trivia
- There is no common rarity ember. This is because ember is something that is used to make items more powerful in-lore.
- There is a large chunk of Masterwork Rarity ember in the Crafting Store beside Sayrna.
- Long time exposure to ember could lead to harmful consequences on humans.
- Urgoth cannot touch or handle ember and being in close proximity to ember could easily poison them. This is why they enslaved humans.
- Salvaging a particular rarity Combat Equipment will give that particular type of ember, except Legendary equipment, which give a higher quantity of Masterwork ember.
- Just like Ember, there are Cymatic Notes which are fragments of Anthem energy. They follow the rarity, value, and color scheme of embers. However, in this case, the red note provides the least value on its own. Pink is not currently associated with these notes.
