Raviente

In contrast to standard weapons, Evolution or Raviente weapons feature levels and utilize

g or

Currency

Gg points for upgrades. These points are acquired by converting various types of gems obtained from the different Raviente types in the game. Three types of gems from HR2 and HR5 are exclusively used for upgrading pre-G Rank weapons, while three additional gems from G Rank can be applied to both G Rank and non-G equipment upgrades.

You can convert gems into points by selecting the appropriate option at the

Blacksmith .

Once a weapon reaches Lv100, you can upgrade it to the next tier, which requires additional materials. This entire upgrade process occurs 4 times to fully develop a G Rank Raviente weapon with a Zenith Skill.

Below is the upgrade tree, you can hover over a weapon name to see the available weapon upgrades.

Planning ahead is essential before committing to a G Rank weapon path, as switching paths will require starting a new weapon from HR2 Lv1.

Fully upgraded Raviente weapons rank among the best in the game, often outperforming most other weapons in terms of both Raw and Elemental damage. However, obtaining them involves a significant grind and commitment.

Example weapon progression:

1. Ophion Sword: crafted from HR2

   Monster
   Raviente , then upgraded with
   Currency
   g points.

2. Ophion Sword "Flash": needs Raviente materials, then upgraded with

   Currency
   g points.

3. Shesha Sword "Glory": needs

   Monster
   Berserk Raviente materials, then upgraded with
   Currency
   Gg points.

4. Apophis Sword "Clear": needs Berserk Raviente and Zenith monster materials, then upgraded with

   Currency
   Gg points. Grants a Zenith Skill.

Each weapon has four distinct final upgrades, varying in attributes based on weapon type. For example, the

Great Sword offers options focused on Raw, Elemental, Balanced, and Affinity. Statistically, the Raw version is superior to the Affinity version—even with Critical Conversion—but it has the drawback of being Normal Length, while the Affinity-focused weapon is Very Long. In many scenarios, the Affinity-focused weapon proves to be more advantageous due to its length.

Similar considerations apply to all weapon types, so it’s essential to contemplate the skills you will be utilizing and how you will engage with monsters using those weapons.

In practical terms, most Raviente weapons begin to exceed standard G Lv50 weapons in raw power around G Lv70, and by Lv100, they achieve the highest Raw values available among any weapons.

After the first tier of upgrades, your weapon name gains a title:

• Glory: focuses on a balance of stats.

• Clear: focuses on affinity.

• Shine: focuses on element.

• Flash: focuses on raw.

Depending on the weapon type, it may also modify other weapon properties. For example, with

Gunlance you can change the shelling type.
