Rusted Weapon
Rusted Weapons are weapons with very low stats that are used as the base to forge more powerful weapons. They are typically farmed from Proto Bahamut (Raid) and Angel Halo, and can be purchased from the Pendant Shop with a monthly limit.
Usage
Use | Amount (3★) |
---|---|
Forge Bahamut Weapons | 1 |
Forge Relics | 1 |
Relics are used to determine elements of weapons from the following weapon series: Rusted-based Class Champion Weapons, Revenant Weapons, and Ultima Weapons.
Uncapping Eternals
- See also: Uncapping Eternals
The Eternals 5★ process requires a large amount of Rusted Weapons of the Eternal's type, typically using 16 3★ copies (total 64) with the "40-Box" method.
Use | Amount (3★) |
---|---|
Craft a Golden Relic | 6 |
Element-change Revenant Weapons | 1 / 10 / 20 |
The number of Revenant Weapons you will element-change depends on the method you use to obtain 100 Revenant Weapon Fragments:
- Reduce 2 fully-upgraded Revenant Weapons: Requires one 3★ Rusted Weapon.
- This method is highly discouraged as it requires a total of 3 Gold Bricks, which are a very limited resource.
- Reduce 1 fully-upgraded Revenant Weapon + 10 element-changed Revenant Weapons: Requires ten 3★ Rusted Weapons.
- This is the "40-Box" method and the most common option players uncapping their Eternals take.
- Reduce 20 element-changed Revenant Weapons: Requires twenty 3★ Rusted Weapon.
- This allows you to keep your original, fully-upgraded copy but doubles the amount of materials you need to obtain.
- Most players aiming for Supreme Weapon Mastery and Weapons of Eternal Splendor will eventually take this route after 5★ uncapping all ten Eternals.
Obtain
- Proto Bahamut (usually 1 per kill, but can be replaced by a flip chest)
- Angel Halo (Archangel Cores or lvl 17 Angel Cores, rare)
- Shop (300 Renown Pendants for 1, limit of 8 a month for each weapon type)
Angel Halo vs. Proto Bahamut Efficiency
For quick Rusted Weapon farming, Proto Bahamut is preferred. However, if Angel Halo or Dimension Halo is needed for Whorls and Silver Relic Shards (for 5★ Eternals and Eternal Transcendence), Angel Halo is more time efficient.
A Rusted Weapon will drop every 5-10 Angel Halo (depending on Drop Rate Boosts). Thus each drop will cost 100-200 AP (50-100 AP during Half AP/EP festivals).
Proto Bahamut on the other hand will nearly always drop a Rusted Weapon (95%+), with a more valuable drop when it doesn't. Thus each drop will cost 5EP (2EP during Half AP/EP festivals).
Proto Bahamut will also almost always drop a Rusted Weapon when vice-MVP and a bit less often if MVP.
Thus each desired Rusted Weapon drop will on average cost 1000-2000 AP (500-1000 AP) from Angel Halo or 25-50 EP (10-20 EP) from Proto Bahamut.
