Interlude C-Grade weapons

In principle I was not going to make a page on C-grade weapons at all. That is because any weapon of this grade can be exchanged at the Blacksmith of Mammon in the week of the Seven Signs victory. And also because the recipes for top C weapons are mostly as hard to get as the recipes for B-grade weapons. And also because the toad in me chokes at throwing so many resources at something that can be had anyway, and without any craft at all.

But I was talked into dealing with this grade after all; it must have been players of some freshly opened server where there are no Mammons yet. I will do it, of course, but first I will still tell you how to get this grade without crafting, and then we will look at the most popular weapons from a crafter's point of view.

C grade has four gradations of weapons (as a rule, though there are exceptions); so that you understand these divisions, let's look at everything on the example of one-handed swords. Group 1: Stormbringer, low, P.Atk 107. Group 2: Raid Sword, mid-low, P.Atk 122. Group 3: Sword of Delusion, mid, P.Atk 139. Group 4: Samurai Longsword, top, P.Atk 156.

Weapons of the first and third groups, low and middle, can be bought in the Luxury Shop of Giran for D and C-grade crystals. A low one costs 2,865 D crystals and 573 C crystals, a mid one almost twice as much, that is, 5,375 D and 1,075 C crystals.

At the Blacksmith of Mammon, in the week of victory, weapons of groups 1 and 3 can be exchanged for free for similar ones of the same group, or with a surcharge in ancient adena for weapons of groups 2 and 4: group 1 is exchanged with a surcharge for group 2, and group 3 with a surcharge for group 4 (top C).

Let's take the same swords as examples. The Stormbringer is exchanged for free for any weapon of the first group: some of those can be bought in the Luxury Shop, some can be had only at Mammon. Any such weapon (the first group) is upgraded with ancient adena to a weapon of the second group (696k AA are needed): in our example we got a Raid Sword, and that one can be exchanged for free for any weapon of the second group. In the second group we are interested in the Raid Sword and the Katana, from which different top C duals can be made.

Now the third group, the one that can be bought in the Luxury Shop: any weapon of the 3rd group can also be exchanged at Mammon for a similar one of the group. In this group we are interested mainly in the Homu (Homunkulus's Sword), for whose sake people carry Luxury Shop swords to Mammon. Any weapon of the third group is upgraded with ancient adena to a weapon of the fourth, top C group (2.196kk AA are needed). Having got a top C weapon this way (in our example the Samurai Longsword), you can exchange it at Mammon for free for any other top C one.

That is all you need to know about how to make absolutely any other C-grade weapon out of any C-grade weapon without resorting to craft.

Now let's look at the C-grade weapons that, for one reason or another, you will craft. What is sold in the Luxury Shop we leave out, since buying for crystals will in any case be much cheaper than crafting. Considering that at the opening of a new server there are no Mammons, and there will be none for at least a week, we can craft a couple of swords that may be needed from the first day: the Homunkulus's Sword and the Raid Sword.

With the Homu everything is clear: without it mages have nothing to run with in C grade, especially in the first days. And I added the Raid Sword because from the very first day all kinds of shady characters yell in Giran about buying top C duals Raid Sword*Raid Sword, not understanding that there is nowhere to get them from while there are no Mammons. You can try to craft and sell for a very, very high price, considering that the Raid Sword does not drop from raid bosses.

I see no sense at all in crafting other C-grade weapons, but at the players' request I will add the list of all top C weapons.

• Axes and blunts: one-handed Yaksa Mace, two-handed Dwarven Hammer. Pikes, polearms: Orcish Poleaxe. One-handed swords: Samurai Longsword. Two-handed swords: Berserker Blade.
• Daggers: Crystal Dagger. Bows: Eminence Bow. Fists: Great Pata. Duals: there are so many variants of C-grade duals (top C among them) that they are a separate talk.
• One-handed magic swords and blunts: Ecliptic Axe, Ecliptic Sword. Two-handed magic blunts: Demon's Staff, Ghoul's Staff, Deadman's Staff.
