Godr-Ayed Weapons (Blackstar Alternative) Guide

Jun 02 Tansie

Introduction

Godr-Ayed Weapons (Mainhand and Awakening only) are an alternative version to the Blackstar Weapons. They have exactly the same stats at TET and PEN. The Godr-Ayed Weapons were created to provide a different route for enhancing.

Although the general difficulity is around the same as enhancing Blackstar Weapons, the Godr-Ayed Weapons are divided into 5 stages of enhancement so that players can make progress over time. However, Godr-Ayed Weapons require items from Calpheon Eliva grind spots to exchange and enhance, which have a recommended minimum AP of 270 Kutum and 330 DP.

Godr-Ayed Weapons can be registered and purchased on the Central Market at all enhancement stages.

Weapon Appearance

Godr-Ayed Weapons have a purple glow. In a later patch, you will be able to consume a small amount of materials to swap a PEN Blackstar and PEN Godr-Ayed Weapon freely, depending on which appearance you prefer.

How to Obtain

To obtain the Godr-Ayed Weapon, you must exchange a TET Blackstar Weapon (Mainhand or Awakening).

You will also need a icon “Scorching Sun Crystal”, which can be obtained by Processing (L) > Heating the following materials:

Scorching Sun Shards x10 – drops from all Calpheon Eliva Spots
Magical Shard x30
Black Stone (Weapon) x100

Once you have both of the materials you can complete the exchange:

Make sure the TET Blackstar is in your inventory (not equipped)
Summon your Black Spirit and take the relevant quest – “[Godr-Ayed Weapon] Merindora’s Calling”
Proceed with the quest at NPC Merindora in Grana
Hand over the “Scorching Sun Gemstone” and the TET Blackstar

Exchanging your TET Blackstar will give you a base Godr-Ayed Weapon of the same type. The base Godr-Ayed weapon has exactly the same stats as the TET Blackstar. You must then enhance this to PEN
(+0 → PRI → DUO → TRI → TET → PEN)

How to Enhance

“Scorching Sun Gemstone” is the material used to enhance Godr-Ayed Weapons. It requires the material “Remnants of the Burning Sun”, which is obtained from all Calpheon Elvia Grind spots.

Processing > Heating
Flawless Magical Black Stone x1 Scorching Sun Shards x1	OR	Sharp Black Crystal Shard x1 Hard Black Crystal Shard x1 Mass of Pure Magic x1 Scorching Sun Shards x1

You can also use Black Stone Powder x1 with either recipe to make x10 at once

Unlike Blackstar weapons, Godr-Ayed Weapons only lose 10 maximum durability if the enhancement fails and do not decrease in enhancement level between +0 to DUO.
