You are level 45 and wondering how people get hold of those weapons everyone talks about. Here is the route — and the point where it gets unpleasant.
The ladder
The weapon names follow a fixed order. The number behind each is the profession level required:
| Tier | Profession level |
|---|---|
| Orichalcum | early |
| Expert’s Orichalcum | |
| Artisan’s Orichalcum | |
| True / Star Dragon Lord | 55 |
| White / Dark Dragon Lord | 70 |
| Wise / Ebony Dragon Lord | 85 |
| Celestial / Demonic Dragon Lord | 90 |
| Noble Dragon Lord | 95 |
| Obsidian / Crimson Dragon Lord | 115 |
Structurally it is that simple. It gets unpleasant at the materials.
A concrete example
For a Noble-class weapon the material list looks roughly like this:
| Material | Amount | From |
|---|---|---|
| 🗡️ Artisan’s Splendent Orichalcum Longsword | ×5 | The hard part — see below |
| 💎 Artisan’s Ultimate Refining Stone | ×50 | Drops from playing: dungeons, raids, chests, field events |
| 🐉 Fine Robust Balaur Horn | ×122 | From chests, then refined via blacksmithing |
| 🔴 Wrathful Mind | ×18 | From Vakron onwards |
| 🔴 Wrathful Will | ×27 | Fire temple / abyssal forge, bound on drop |
| 🔴 Wrathful Ego | ×42 | Fire temple / abyssal forge, bound on drop |
| ☠️ Maddened Wrathful Curse | ×19 | Set rate per abyssal forge clear, tradeable |
| ⛏️ Radiant Orichalcum Ore | ×121 | High gathering level plus luck |
| 🌿 Radiant Odyle | ×70 | Gatherable and tradeable |
The step where it stalls
What to take from it
Two observations that hold for any crafted weapon:
The path draws on everything you are doing anyway. Wrathful mind comes from Vakron, wrathful will and ego from the fire temple, refining stones from ordinary play. Work through the roadmap and you collect the material along the way — you just have to stop throwing it out.
Bound versus tradeable is the crucial distinction. Wrathful will and ego are bound on drop; you have to farm those yourself. Maddened wrathful curse and radiant odyle are tradeable — you can buy those if you have kina. When planning, it pays to check first which lines you can solve with money and which you cannot.
In short
- The ladder is simple; the materials are the work
- The bottleneck is the five procced precursor weapons
- Much of it drops along the way if you follow the roadmap anyway
- Check what is tradeable before you start farming
