Crafting a Primordial Grade Sovereign Weapon

◈ Flame of the Primordial and Gem of Twilight

The Flame of the Primordial and the Gem of Twilight, containing the power to create the world, were discovered in the Hwanghae Province.

There is a rumor in Hwanghae Province that says “In Mount Ahshi where Bonghwang, who protects the Land of the Morning Light, dwells, one can encounter an energy capable of creating the world.

Both of these items are employed as ingredients to craft Sovereign weapons. You can find the explanation below.

▲ Bonghwang's statue at Mount Ahshi

◈ How to Craft a Sovereign Weapon

Method 1: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + PEN(V) Blackstar weapon
Method 2: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + Flame of the Primordial
Method 3: PEN(V) Blackstar weapon + PEN(V) Boss weapon (Caphras enhancement Lv. 20) + Gem of Twilight

Important!

You require items of the same type to craft a Sovereign weapon.
(ex. If you want to craft a Sovereign main weapon with the 3rd method, you will require a PEN Blackstar main weapon and a PEN boss main weapon.)
