This is a record that summarizes the evolution “all forms” of the resistance weapon (RW) of the Machinist.

This time too, the lineup was quite diverse!
There are a lot of special guns.

1st form “Lawman”
The first resistance weapon is “Lawman“. A revolver-type gun with a classic and beautiful design and a bottle that stores ether.




It’s a high-tech x low-tech hybrid design.
▼ Details are summarized here!
2nd form “Lawman Recollection”
When it comes to the second form, it evolves into a shining “Lawman Recollection“. It has a strong shine and is a very dazzling effect. Dyeing is also possible.



This is a type that is too dazzling to look directly at.

▼ Details are summarized here!
3rd form “Law’s Order Revolver”
When it comes to the third form, “Law’s Order Revolver,” the design changes dramatically, and it becomes a special shape that looks like a combination of two pistols.




I wonder how this gun works, it’s a mysterious design.
▼ Details are summarized here!
4th form “Augmented Law’s Order Revolver”
In the 4th form, the “Law’s Order Revolver” has evolved into a shining “Augmented Law’s Order Revolver“. Dyeing is also possible.



It’s a beautiful way of shining with afterglow.

▼ Details are summarized here!
Final form “Blade’s Ingenuity”
When it comes to its final form “Blade’s Ingenuity“, the design changes again, giving it the shape of a classic wooden double-barrel hunting gun. And it features a unique glowing effect that has never been seen before. Dyeing is also possible.




It’s interesting that a glowing scope appears when you hold it.

Is it a standard for Machinist’s weapon enhancement content to eventually become a simple design?


It was the same with Eureka Weapon.

Summary of how to evolve
There are five forms, but there are six stages of evolution.
Start with the quest “Hail to the Queen” that you can order from Kugane!
1st stage (1st form)
If it is the weapon of the first job, you can get it just by advancing the story of the Resistance Weapon.
From the second job onward, 1,000 Allagan Tomestone Poetics (“Thavnairian Scalepowder” x 4) are required.
2nd stage
You need to collect 20 items each, “Tortured Memory of the Dying“, “Sorrowful Memory of the Dying“, and “Harrowing Memory of the Dying“.
These three items will drop within the Bozjan Southern Front. Also, drop 100% at F.A.T.E. in the Heavensward & Stormblood area. You may collect them in Bozjan to raise the level and obtain other items.
3rd stage (2nd form)
Next, you need to collect 6 items called “Bitter Memory of the Dying“.
You can also collect this in the Bozjan Southern Front, but it is actually faster to collect it there because you will always drop one in the leveling roulette or Lv60 dungeon.
4th stage (3rd form)
You need to collect 15 “Loathsome Memory of the Dying“.
This “Loathsome Memory of the Dying” is available in Bozjan’s “Castrum Lacus Litore”, “Critical Engagement”, or “Crystal Tower” series. Castrum Lacus Litore has 5 confirmed items, so it seems efficient to wait for Castrum Lacus Litore while going around critical engagement within Bozjan.
5th stage (4th form)
For the first job
① You need to collect 18 “Haunting Memory of the Dying” and 18 “Vexatious Memory of the Dying“. Available in FATE in the Stormblood area or in the Shadow of Mhach and Return to Ivalice dungeons. Since it is not a fixed drop in FATE, I feel that it is more efficient to go around the dungeon.
② You need to collect 15 “Timeworn Artifact“. It’s available at the Palace of the Dead or Gunhild Dilubram, but the Palace of the Dead doesn’t seem to be a definite drop, so it may be faster to go around Delubrum Reginae.
For the second and subsequent jobs
In the case of the second and subsequent ones, only the above ② is OK. (① is only once!)
6th stage (final form)
For the first job
① You need to collect 30 of the following. Since it gathers well in the Zadnor, it is recommended to collect it in the Zadnor in parallel with leveling up and collecting Field Notes.
Items to collect | Where to get |
Compact Axle | ・the Zadnor:Southern Plateau Skirmishes ・Alexander 1 or 2 |
Compact Spring | ・the Zadnor:Southern Plateau Critical Engagements ・Alexander 3 or 4 |
A Day in the Life: Battles for the Realm | ・the Zadnor:Western plateau Skirmishes ・The Bend of Time – OMEGA 1 or 2 |
A Day in the Life: Beyond the Rift | ・the Zadnor:Western plateau Critical Engagements ・The Bend of Time – OMEGA 3 or 4 |
Bleak Memory of the Dying | ・the Zadnor:Northern plateau Skirmishes ・Eden 1 or 2 |
Lurid Memory of the Dying | ・the Zadnor:Northern plateau Critical Engagements ・Eden 3 or 4 |
② In addition, you need to collect 15 of the following. You can get 3 of them in the Dalriada, so you only need to make 5 laps!
Items to collect | Where to get |
Raw Emotion | ・the Dalriada ・Delubrum Reginae ・Level 70 dungeon ・Heaven-on-High |
For the second and subsequent jobs
In the case of the second and subsequent ones, only the above ② is OK. (① is only once!)
This is the end of strengthening the Resistance Weapon!
It’s easier to create multiple weapons than the previous weapon enhancement content.


Yeah, thank you for the specs! (This is just right 💦)
So, it was a summary of the resistance weapon “all stages” of the mechanic. For your reference!
