If you want to customize your appearance to stand out amongst players you might meet over The First Descendant crossplay, you might want to try to gather as much extra Caliber as you can. Speaking of playing the game on other platforms over crossplay, you might want to check whether The First Descendant is Steam Deck compatible so you can play on the go too.

If you didn’t receive bought Caliber
There have been reports from The First Descendant players that the Caliber they’ve bought at their platform’s store hasn’t been showing up in the game – due to a launching error likely stemmed from the game seeing so many new players all at once.
However, the developer has expressed awareness of the issue both on their Discord and X (formerly Twitter), saying it is working on a fix for the issue. In the meantime though, those who have bought Caliber should have it pop up in their The First Descendant account eventually; there will just likely be a delay in its delivery.
