Advanced Weapon Acquisition in Pilgrim's Traverse
In the recent 7.35 update for Final Fantasy 14, the Pilgrims Traverse Deep Dungeon introduced an intriguing new set of weapons. These weapons are specialized items which players can acquire during their adventures in the deep dungeon. To obtain and upgrade these weapons, a key process involving Ephore and Etherpool resources is required.
When seeking to keep your Ether gear acquired inside the dungeon, players must engage with the NPC Oweed, located in Wakdorf. Here's a breakdown of what is needed:
- Basic Weapon Acquisition:
- Cost: 30 Etherpool arm and armor
- Includes: 1 base weapon (750 item level)
- Note: For sword and shield, both items are included with the purchase of the sword.
- Advanced Weapon Upgrade:
- Additional Cost: 60 more Etherpool arm and armor
- Total Cost: 90 Etherpool arm and armor for the fully upgraded version (755 item level)
- Appearance: Enhanced lighter tone compared to the darker basic version.
Players need to form an "Aloomed Ephore Grip" before requesting to keep their weapons, each grip costs 10 Etherpool arm and armor. Hence, acquiring one new weapon requires substantial resources, making efficiency in resource management essential. Upgrading a weapon not only improves its item level but also alters its aesthetic, providing a visually distinct and brighter appearance.
Resource Management
Given that Etherpool resources cap at 99, players need to prioritize and plan their resource usage carefully. Obtaining the fully upgraded versions of these weapons demands multiple dungeon runs to maximize resource accrual. Here's a simple table to articulate the required resources for each stage:
| Weapon Stage | Cost in Etherpool Arm & Armor | Visual Tone |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Version | 30 | Darker Tone |
| Upgraded Version | Additional 60 (Total 90) | Lighter Tone |
As these weapons are undyable, players looking for specific visual styles might choose between the accessible darker version or the upgraded lighter one. There's a considerable variety in the available weapons, providing ample choice for players to outfit their characters according to personal preference or strategic needs.
Collecting these unique weapons involves not just perseverance in gameplay but thoughtful progression through resource utilization, making the experience both challenging and rewarding.
