Finally, the new weapon strengthening content has begun! This time it seems like it will be quite challenging, so I’m excited about it♪

If it’s too easy, like the Manderville Weapon, Norirow-san will start playing it without sleeping, so it’s better to make it a little more difficult…

So, here is a quick summary of how to make a new “Phantom Weapon (PW)”!

Prerequisite Quest

Since you will basically be creating this in “The Occult Crescent”, you will need to unlock The Occult Crescent.

A quest will occur once you complete DAWNTRAIL.

One Last Hurrah（Tuliyollal）
The Phantom Village

How to make the first form “Penumbrae”

You need two things.

① Collect 3 of each of the 6 types of “xx Demiatma”
② Arcanite x 3（Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry 1,500 pieces）※This is all you need from the second one onwards

Wow, it’s an Atma! It reminds me of the Zodiac Weapon💦

What’s quite difficult this time is collecting nostalgic atma.

There are two ways to collect them: within The Occult Crescent, or in F.A.T.E.s in the DAWNTRAIL area.

How to collect “Demiatma” in The Occult Crescent

It can be obtained through critical encounters (CE) or FATEs in “Occult Crescent: South Horn“.

Each of the six types can be obtained, roughly speaking, in the areas listed below.

but……

From my own experience, it is difficult to control the occurrence of “Critical Encounters (CE) ” and “F.A.T.E.”, so even if you know the above areas, it may be quite a difficult task to target and collect specific types.

As you progress through the story of The Occult Crescent and raise your knowledge level to level 20, you will naturally collect a fair amount of them. It might be more efficient to collect what you are missing in the end by doing FATEs in the DAWNTRAIL area.

To increase your knowledge level, simply complete the “Critical Encounters” and “F.A.T.E.” that occur within the area. The method is almost the same as in Eureka and Bozjan.

It’s perfectly doable solo. For “Critical Encounters,” it might be a good idea to ask to be put into a party!

How to collect “Demiatma” in FATEs in the DAWNTRAIL area

Since the types of Demiatmas that can be obtained in each area are fixed, it’s easy to target and collect what you are missing.

Types of Demiatma	FATEs Area
Azurite Demiatma	Urqopacha
Verdigris Demiatma	Kozama’uka
Malachite Demiatma	Yak T’el
Realgar Demiatma	Shaaloani
Caput Mortuum Demiatma	Heritage Found
Orpiment Demiatma	Living Memory

According to the 87th PLL, the drop rate in critical encounters (CE) is 20%, and in F.A.T.E. (both inside and outside Crescent Isle) is 5%. It’s not as tough as I thought, so it might be just the right amount of difficult!

Arcanite x 3 (Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry x 1500)

Once you have collected the Demi Atma, all you need is 1,500 Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry (Arcanite x 3).

※ You don’t need to collect Demi Atma from the second one onwards.

Allagan Tomestones of Heliometry can also be found within The Occult Crescent, and various roulettes and mob hunting tours are also recommended.

So that concludes the first stage of making a phantom weapon!

How to proceed with the second stage

And now, it’s time for the second form! All you need are three things:

① Collect five items (you can just buy them)
② Collect sparkles by going through the roulette (Hi leveling, Trials, Normal, Alliance)
③ 3 Waxing Arcanite (1,500 Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry) *This is all you need from the second one onwards.

The tricky part this time is collecting sparkles, which requires repeatedly going through the roulette!

This time too, we’ll take our time and it’s a so-called “Time to win” type of challenge!

Collect five items

Quest: Keeping the Old Ways Alive

First, you just need to collect the following items:

Required Items	How to get it	Market board trading
Rroneek Glue	300,000 gil from Goplu in Tuliyollal	〇
Ut’ohmu Siderite	600 Bicolor Gemstones from “Rral Wuruq” in Yak T’el	〇
Synthetic Dark Matter Alpha	Crafted by Blacksmith, Armorers, and Goldsmith	〇
Synthetic Dark Matter Beta	Crafted by Carpenter, leatherworker, and Weaver	〇
Synthetic Dark Matter Gamma	Crafted by Alchemist and Synthetic Dark Matter Gamma	〇

Crafted items require a crafting precision of 5,380 or higher and a processing precision of 4,650 or higher.

If it’s difficult to make, it might be quicker to just buy them, as they can all be bought and sold on the market board.

Go to Roulette (Aetherwell Array)

Quest: Hunting for the Family

Next, you will do what is called “sparkle gathering.”

Ether is stored in four locations in the “Aetherwell Array” shown on the right in the photo above.

Each one requires you to complete a specific content roulette and accumulate points until you reach 10,000.

Fire (Scarlet): “Trials” Roulette
Wind (Green): “Hi leveling” Roulette
Earth (Yellow): “Normal” Roulette
Water (Blue): “Alliance” Roulette

Additionally, you will receive a large bonus point once a day (reset at midnight).

However, it seems that the points awarded vary greatly depending on the content chosen.

For example, even with the same alliance roulette (including bonus points), the Crystal Tower gave me 457 points, while the Maha Vault gave me 756. It may be that the more time-consuming the content, the more points you can earn.

For now, it might be most efficient to play roulette once a day.

There’s quite a bit of luck involved, but if you play roulette once a day, it should take about two weeks to accumulate the points.
