Hello

Just returned after couple years of hiatus. Looks like level cap is 90 and similarly we have level 90 gears now.

Can anyone point to me how do we acquire lv 90 weapons nowadays? Don't have much gold on me so was thinking of gacha a bit for a basic level 90 weapon to use, but the gachas seems to only give max level 80 gear at the moment..or am I missing something.

Appreciate it if someone can give some pointers. Thanks!

    Vindicator's boxes can give 90 essences if you're looking to go into that route, but in order to craft them, you need an expertise user whom is able to craft what you're looking for, along with the primal piece and inherit shards.

    In order to make a weapon, you need to find the legendary shards shaped into lightweight, keen, stable, and perfect shards, where all of which are dividied into three different tiers of blue (lowest roll), purple (mid-grade with 5 different rolls currently), and orange (top-grade/rare) shards. If an orange grade material drops, the core will glow orange if the drop is yours, or white (party only) if it belongs to someone else. Additionally, you can save up 50 seals of bravery to obtain one of the 4 weapon inherit shards.

    When dismantled, an orange grade shard will yield 100 inherit fragments, where they are used to upgrade a 90 weapon further, eventually coming to a point where they have reached their plateau, unlocking a hidden stat known to few as the attack limit remover.

    There are 5 type of primaries (also divided into 3 tiers), Regina's feather, Braha's Essence, Terminus Sentinel essence, Lugh essence, and Abomination essence.

    These primes are divided into 6 parts one for each primary weapon and armor slot, and they can be classified as plate for regina + abom, heavy for braha, light for term sent, and cloth for lugh. A weapon feather will cost 150 seals of bravery, while an armor prime will cost 40 seals of bravery of that part.

    In order to obtain a recipe, you can level an expertise to 370/399 proficiency (or talk to someone that is able to craft for you), OR defeat that respective raid boss mentioned above at least once to unlock an NPC recipe for that weapon.

    There are two other shards that I did not mention relating to armors, Solid (used for all armor pieces and shields), and Smooth shards (chest and leg armors only). You can find these in ANY regular dungeon by defeating certain bosses, where they will drop a range of 2-6 cores when killed. Additonally, you can also spend 50 seals of bravery in the seal shop to obtain one of these parts as well.

    For the weapon shards, you can look in the following areas respectively:

    Lightweight: Ben Chenner Entrance, Killing Judge Jamiroff, Killing Captain Baethan.

    Keen: Ben Chenner Trailhead, Killing Ordon the maniac, Killing Hagan.

    Stable: Ben Chenner Summit, Killing Orlaith, Killing the Mad Morbus

    Perfect: Lochlann Plains, Killing Hexad, Killing Lograch.

    Manus will drop all shards upon killing him.

    For more information about Godly materials, and how they are used to replace shards + upgrade them will be provided in the near future upon request.

    Easiest method : farm 350 seals, find someone to carry you through a level 90 raid for the recipe, NPC craft a level 90 orange weapon with the weapon essence + stable + perfect + keen + lightweight shards from seal shop.

    Do muir/buy paradise stones to +10 your weapon.

    Farm more seals to make OJ armor from seal shop afterwards.

    Easy ways to get Bravery seals are to do later S1 raids (Rocheste onwards) or any S2 raid. They'll drop in Normal & harder modes, but not Easy mode.

    They also drop in Secret Naughty Chamber, Fomorian Leader & Rocheste at Sea. With VIP you can double the number of runs.

    Another easy way is to do Abyssal Arena with a party in 60-69 mode. With Blessing and VIP you'll get 7 seals in 1 run. You can do 4 runs with VIP or 3 runs without VIP, 3 times a week.

    Another option is to do any Ein Lacher battle. You can convert 10 Ein Lacher seals into 10 Bravery Seals, once per day.
