| Requirements | |
| Vigil Weapon equipped. | |
| Rewards | |
| The ability to use your job's Mythic Weapon Skill with any weapon of the same type. | |
Walkthrough
- Talk to Zalsuhm (inside Muckvix's Junk Shop, Lower Jeuno H-9) with a Vigil Weapon equipped for a cutscene.
- With the same Vigil weapon equipped in the main hand, fight enemies that grant experience points (Incredibly Easy Prey or better) and perform Weapon Skills and Skillchains.
- Weapon skills used before starting this quest do not count.
- You must accumulate 250 Weapon Skill Points via the following methods:
| Skillchain Level | Trial Points |
|---|---|
| No Skillchain | 5 |
| Level 1 | 7 |
| Level 2 | 9 |
| Level 3 | 11 |
- Once you have acquired enough Weapon Skill Points, your new Weapon Skill will appear under your list of Weapon Skills, but only with your Vigil Weapon still equipped.
- Return to Zalsuhm and trade him your Vigil Weapon.
- He will unlock your new Weapon Skill for use with any weapon and return the Vigil Weapon to you.
Notes
- If you trade your Vigil Weapon to Zalsuhm before it is unlocked, he will give you a rough gauge on how far along you have progressed:
- "I sense only a mote of energy present. You still have a long way to go."
- "I can feel a marked increase in energy compared to when I first held it. Keep up the good work."
- "The energy is threatening to burst forth. It won't be long now."
- "You've done it! Energy is overflowing as though the floodgates have burst open!"
- Storing a Vigil Weapon with Ghanraam at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (K-10) resets its Weapon Skill Points.
- After this quest, the Vigil Weapon can still be used for the Mythic Weapon acquisition quests.
- The Weapon Skill points will not be needed again, so it is okay to store it.
- For the first year and a half of implementation from 2007-2008, the Vigil Weapons were only obtainable on Floor 100.
- Prior to the July 2014 Version Update, the number of Weapon Skill Points required was determined by the number of floors the player cleared in Nyzul Isle Investigation.
- At some point (likely the May 2025 Version Update that also updated other Category:WSNM quests), the point rewards per WS were significantly increased. This quest is now much faster than it used to be.
