With the next patch on Wednesday, March 10, new Obsidian weapons will be introduced in ArcheAge.
The sandbox MMO ArcheAge will bring most likely on March 10 the new patch “Secrets of Ayanad” to the live servers. A key component of the update will be Obsidian weapons, particularly the process of “upgrading” them.
In a feature on the ArcheAge website, the new producer of the game, Merv Lee Kwai, discusses this. A series of quests will guide players through the crafting process of their first Obsidian weapon. First, you will need the salvaged version of a glorious weapon and materials from the creatures of Auroria. From these, you will craft a first-tier Obsidian weapon that immediately bonds with the player.
This weapon can then be upgraded five times. The goal lies in the sixth and ultimate tier; Trion Worlds describes the path to this as follows:
– The components needed to create and upgrade Obsidian weapons can be found from Lv51+ creatures in the SunGold Fields, Exeloch, and the Diamond Coast.
– Furthermore, it is known that the inhabitants of the Ayanad Library carry materials that can be used for the first upgrades.
– The components required for the ultimate upgrade of an Obsidian weapon can be found from extremely challenging library bosses and notorious creatures throughout Erenor.
– At each upgrade level, a salvaged weapon will also be required.
Owning such a weapon, it is said, marks the end of a long and arduous journey that only the most determined would complete.
