Weapon Transcendence Guide

Ver. 2.0.2 introduces Transcendence, a new upgrade tier that pushes fully maxed weapons beyond their previous ceiling. Every weapon type qualifies except bonus weapons (event or promotional gear). Transcendence integrates with existing forging—Wrightstones, Mirage Munitions, and Fortitude Crystals still matter for earlier tiers.

Creative Director Fukuhara noted that material drop rates were significantly elevated at launch, making Terminus and Transcendence farming much faster than base game endgame grinding. Fortified Hearth is now guaranteed from Excavallion chests, and Rafale Coin trades cost less.

Ultimate Memory is a new treasure item from The Final Report and The Tale of Bahamut's Rage. Bring it to the blacksmith to forge Terminus weapons for base roster characters who lacked this tier previously. This retroactive upgrade path helps veterans enter Chaos with competitive gear on day one.

Legendary Merit costs for 5★→6★ uncap dropped from 5 to 2. Weapon awakening rupie costs also decreased across the board.

Three returning favorites receive Stinger and Terminus-tier weapons in Endless Ragnarok. Unlock requirements tie to Conflux cycle progression:

Type	Weapon	Character	Required Treasure
Stinger	Spada di Vento	Seofon	Chaos Refinium (Conflux Cycle 2)
Stinger	Hercules	Tweyen	Chaos Refinium (Conflux Cycle 2)
Stinger	Sword of Michael	Sandalphon	Chaos Refinium (Conflux Cycle 2)
Terminus	Sword of Eternal Splendor	Seofon	Mythic Artifact (Conflux Cycle 4)
Terminus	Bow of Eternal Splendor	Tweyen	Mythic Artifact (Conflux Cycle 4)
Terminus	Efes	Sandalphon	Mythic Artifact (Conflux Cycle 4)

Seofon, Tweyen, and Sandalphon can now unlock with 2 normal crewmate cards instead of special cards—a major QoL change from Ver. 2.0.2.

Each weapon supports seven Transcendence levels. The first level transforms a level-150 maxed weapon into a Transcendent weapon with a massive stat jump—immediately outperforming Ascension and Terminus tiers. Levels 2–7 require progressively rarer materials from Chaos quests and Conflux Cycle 4 surveys.

Transcendence also unlocks trait swapping on the weapon. Preview available traits before committing materials—you can replace less useful passives with stronger options while keeping the same weapon base. Not every trait is swappable; the preview screen lists eligible replacements per weapon type.

Access unlocks after completing the Chaos rank-up quest and beginning Endless Ragnarok story content. Cycle 4 Conflux farming alone supplies enough materials for Transcendence levels 1–3 on a main weapon.

Level 100 characters now earn Transmarvel vouchers whenever they gain enough XP for a level-up. Spend one voucher per Transmarvel reroll to optimize sigil sub-stats. Combined with sigil transmutation (up to 100 at once) and trait filtering, build optimization is dramatically faster post-launch.

Best farming routes: Conflux Cycle 2 for Chaos Refinium, Cycle 4 for Mythic Artifact, Chaos quests for rare transcendence materials. Alternate Conflux surveys with Chaos first-clears for balanced progression. See Conflux rewards for cycle-specific drop tables.
