Empyrean Weapons
Empyrean Weapons are a series of powerful high-damage and low-delay weapons that can be upgraded with the AF3 Upgrade Moogle.
The base weapons drop from Abyssea Notorious Monsters, It's up to you to unleash their full potential.
These weapons require items dropped from Notorious Monsters in Abyssea zones, as well as Tanzanite Jewels which drop from various Notorious Monsters throughout the world to upgrade.
This page will show you what is required to upgrade each empyrean weapon to its Level 119 Afterglow version.
*It should be noted that instead of a weapon skill, both Ochain and Daurdabla reward the player in another manner. For further details, follow the links to their individual pages.
*It should also be noted that there is no Level 119 Afterglow version of the Ochain or the Daurdabla. There is only a Level 99 II Afterglow version.
- The Level 99 II Afterglow Daurdabla does not show the "Afterglow" tag on the item description in-game, but the wielder still gains a glowing effect.
- No benefits are gained from this, it is only the visual effect.
- The Level 99 II Afterglow Ochain has custom benefits
- Please use the HomepointXI Item Tool for more details.
- Please use the HomepointXI Item Tool for more details.
**It should also be noted that the upgrade versions for the Daurdabla differ from the other Empyrean weapons. The versions for the Daurdabla are: 85 → 95 → 99 → 99 II Afterglow
***It should also be noted that the upgrade versions for the Ochain differ from the other Empyrean weapons. The versions for the Ochain are: 85 → 90 → 95 → 99 → 99 II Afterglow
Empyrean Weapon Trials
After obtaining your Empyrean Weapon, they can be further upgraded through their variants all the way to the Level 119 Afterglow version with AF3 Upgrade Moogle (in Port Jeuno).
Once you have obtained the Level 119 Afterglow version of an Empyrean weapon, you can trade the weapon to Magian Mog AJ (in Ru'Lude Gardens) to unlock access of the Empyrean weaponskill to be used with any weapon of the type.
- This, of course, applies only to the Empyrean weapons. Trading a Level 99-II Afterglow version of an Empyrean shield/instrument to Magian Mog AJ does nothing seeing as these items are not weapons and also do not have weaponskills associated with them!
Rules
- You may have more than one Empyrean Weapon Trial active at a time.
- Relic Weapon Trials and Mythic Weapon Trials do not count against this.
- Reference the above table for what items are required to upgrade to the next level of an Empyrean Weapon Trial.
