Farming Terminus Weapons
As stated before, Terminus Weapons can only be acquired by defeating the hardest current Quest in the game, The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage. In order to get all the weapons for all 19 characters, you’ll need to do a lot of battling.
The weapons are random drop at about a 10% drop rate and there’s currently no way to target farm it, so if you’re only going for the character you play the most, you may be here a while. However, you can’t get multiples of the same weapon, so any weapon drop you get can be thought as thinning the pool or increasing the odds for the weapon you want.
However, the cost is worth it, as Terminus Weapons are hands down the strongest weapons in the game, coming with the most powerful Trait in the game, Catastrophe, which increases your ATK by 50% and your Damage Cap by a massive 100% only while your HP is below 45k. However, this HP threshold is easy to meet as the Base HP for these weapons is 99 across the board, meaning you won’t be getting much here.
This weapon can also be Awakened, similar to your Ascension Weapons, so they’re undoubtedly the strongest weapons available in the game right now.
Maximizing Your Sigils and Wrightstones
Making sure your character’s Sigil grid and Wrightstone imbuements is another step, and arguably the most important one when it comes to real late-game growth. Although the most sizable growth will happen when you hit the level cap, complete your masteries, and boost your weapons to 150, the fine-tuning of your characters will start at your Sigils.
Making sure your Sigil Grid is good for the character you’re playing as is crucial to ensuring you’re as competitive as can be. A good starting place is to make sure you get 4 Damage Cap V/V+ Sigils available to you, as Damage Cap is the easiest way to make sure your DPS keeps up.
As you continue to get more and more potent Sigils, be sure to visit the Blacksmith to level them up if they’re the one you’re truly set on keeping, as the investment to level Sigils is not cheap, but maximizing your Sigil levels is how you’re able to meet certain Trait thresholds and caps with ease.
As for Wrightstones, you’ll have access to more powerful Wrightstones in the endgame, but the basis of imbuing the right one with the strongest effects into your best weapon still remains the same.
As for how you want to hunt down the rare Sigils and Wrightstones, you can seek to have Zathba appraise Curios for you, which will give you very rare and exclusive sigils, but you’ll need to look no further than Sierokarte and her services and Transmutation.
Transmutation and Transmarvel
Transmutation is a service that becomes available early on. Initially you’ll have access to Transmutation Level 1 and eventually Level 2, but that’s not why we’re here. Upon completing Chapter Ø you’ll get access to Transmutation Level 3, which offers to best possible Sigils for the cost of 25 Knickknack Vouchers, but she also offers you the Transmarvel service.
You can think of Transmarvel as a pity rate for Sigils. This will give you very powerful Sigils and Wrightstones, and will even give you access to Character Exclusive Sigils that you can’t get anywhere else. Transmarvel is built up over time. Using a Transmutation Level 3 will fill up the Transmarvel bar by 15 points, and every 100 points you can stock a Transmarvel Transmutation.
Even though this feature only unlocks following Chapter Ø, it will have banked up any Level 2 Transmutation you did previously.
Normally, you can purchase two different Character Exclusive Sigils from Sierokarte for Dahlia Badges or through the Treasure Trade feature, but the Transmarvel service is the only place you can get both Sigil effects on a single Sigil, marked as an Awakening+ Sigil. These Sigils will fundamentally change the way or enhance the way you play as a character, so it’s highly recommended you try and get these.
