Sovereign Weapons

Last Edited on : Oct 23, 2024, 12:11 (UTC)

Crafting a Primordial Grade Sovereign Weapon

 

◈ Flame of the Primordial and Gem of Twilight

The Flame of the Primordial and the Gem of Twilight, containing the power to create the world, were discovered in the Hwanghae Province.
There is a rumor in Hwanghae Province that says “In Mount Ahshi where Bonghwang, who protects the Land of the Morning Light, dwells, one can encounter an energy capable of creating the world.
Both of these items are employed as ingredients to craft Sovereign weapons. You can find the explanation below.

◈ How to Craft a Sovereign Weapon

Method 1: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + PEN(V) Blackstar weapon
Method 2: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + Flame of the Primordial
Method 3: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + PEN(V) Boss weapon (Caphras enhancement Lv. 20) + Gem of Twilight

Important!
You require items of the same type to craft a Sovereign weapon.
(ex. If you want to craft a Sovereign main weapon with the 3rd method, you will require a PEN Blackstar main weapon and a PEN boss main weapon.)

◈ Sovereign Weapon Crafting Location

You can craft a weapon containing energy capable of creating a world through the Bonghwang Statue in Mount Ahshi, Hwanghae Province, Land of the Morning Light.

 
 

◈ Crafting the Weapon

When you have all the crafting materials, interact with the Bonghwang Statue of Ahshi and you will be able to obtain a Sovereign weapon of grade primordial.
 
 
 
The crafting of Sovereign weapons does not require the completion of any prerequisite quest or character level.

Things to Keep In Mind
① Only unreformed weapons can be used to craft a Sovereign weapon.
- You can extract reform stones (such as an Inverted Garmoth's Heart) by purchasing and using a Mirror of Equilibrium from a blacksmith NPC in any major city.
Note that now you can also extract reform stones from weapons enhanced with Caphras stones without needing to extract the Caphras stones first.
② You need weapons of the same type when making a Sovereign weapon.
- If you want to make a Sovereign main weapon, you need main weapons.
③ When crafting Sovereign weapons, the class of the weapon will be determined by the character crafting it.
- For example, if a Warrior crafts a Sovereign weapon using a PEN: Blackstar Longbow and PEN: Blackstar Amulet, a Sovereign Longsword will be crafted.
④ When crafting a Sovereign weapon, any branding will be lost.
⑤ Sovereign weapons cannot be registered on the Central Market.
⑥ You cannot use J's Hammer of Loyalty when attempting to enhance a Sovereign weapon.

Tip!
The attack power (AP) of a Sovereign main weapon is the same as the AP of a Sovereign Awakening weapon.
Accordingly, when equipping a main/Awakening weapon of the same enhancement level, the displayed AP will not differ by 2 as has been the norm now, but it will have the same value.
