|ToC= |Float= |Image=WSNM Header.png |Image Size=275 |Image Link= |Intro Text=WSNMs are a series of quests to unlock a weapon skills for a particular weapon type. For each offensive melee skill in the game, there is a special quested Weapon Skill available. Each quest requires you to "break" a latent effect on a weapon, and then defeat an NM. |Secondary Text=

• With the Weapon of Trials equipped in your Main hand, you must fight Extremely Easy Prey or higher mobs, and perform Weapon Skills or close Skillchains to accumulate 300 "Trial Points".

• You'll know the latent is broken when the elemental resistances listed on the Weapon of Trials description have disappeared from the elemental resistances in the equipment window. Your elemental resistances are listed underneath your equipped gear grid.

• Next, trade the Weapon of Trials back to the Quest NPC who gave you the Weapon of Trials. The Quest NPC will give you a Template:KI Map to the Annals of Truth and instruct you to go to a specific zone to fight a Notorious Monster.
• After defeating the Notorious Monster you can return to the Quest NPC who will now unlock your ability to use the Quested Weapon Skill.

As of the February 2019 update^[1], Ambuscade Weapons were introduced. With the exception of Marksmanship, these weapons all grant all the jobs which can equip them access to these Weapon Skills. As long as they remain equipped these weapon skills may be used without quest completion. These weapons also grant a damage bonus to these corresponding weapon skills, similar to the hidden damage bonus of Relics or Mythic weapons. }}

Soloing with Trust: Mastering Ayame’s Skillchain Synergy

Summoning Ayame for skillchaining while breaking the latent of a trial weapon is an excellent choice.

• Priming the Skillchain
  • To initiate a skillchain, build up enough TP and unleash your weapon skill on the target. Ayame’s AI is designed to wait for your opening move, holding off on her own weapon skill until you’ve acted.

• Closing the Skillchain
  • After you’ve used your WS, Ayame will monitor your TP recovery and then execute a complementary weapon skill tailored to your previous move. Your goal is to close the skillchain by selecting a WS that pairs with hers to trigger at least a Level 2 skillchain or higher for maximum points.
  • Experiment with different WS combinations and consult the (Skillchain) chart to find the most effective pairings for your job and Ayame’s skills.

• Key Tips
  • Enemy Selection:
    • Ayame’s accuracy can falter against Incredibly Tough enemies, even with Bard Trusts like Ulmia or Joachim boosting her.
    • For best results, target Even Match or Tough enemies to ensure her hits connect reliably for TP build-up.
  • Party Composition:
    • Avoid including a Tank or additional melee Trusts in your lineup to focus solely on skillchaining with Ayame.
