In order to be able to create the inscription for the high weapon it is first necessary to create the high quality woods and ores (requires a level of 450 in the trade concerned):
Note: The creation of a ball of ancestral spiritual residues as well as a piece of mithrillium is limited to one every 24 hours (the reset takes place at 2:00 a.m.)
Once the elevated woods and minerals are obtained, craft the dowel by assembling 3 spiritwood planks and 3 ingots in deldrimord steel.
Then combine the stud with 10 dark matter balls 10 heap of crystalline dust and enchanted inscription on orichalcum plaque.
High weapon parts
The two parts of the weapon depend on the weapon you want to create. Just as an Exotic Staff requires a Shaft and a Head, a High Staff requires both of these parts in high version.
Every part of the weapon requires the same number of components (example wood or ore) but in a high version, it is also necessary to plan 5 crystalline dust pile and 50 thermocatalytic reagents for each part.
Finishing the weapon elevated
Once in possession of both parts of the weapon, the vision crystal, registration and of course recipe all you have to do is assemble the weapon (skill level 500 required):
If you haven't missed a step, you now have an elevated weapon!
