WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Olra’s service at Bitterblack Isle harbor.

Bitterblack Weapon relics are cursed items that must be purified before their weapon can be used. Olra handles this service at the Isle harbor in exchange for Rift Crystals. A relic’s tier affects its purification cost and reward pool; the resulting weapon is not a freely chosen item. Vocation color alignment influences which pool is selected, so prepare the Arisen and Main Pawn before confirming. This process applies to Dark Arisen’s Bitterblack Isle content.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Possess a Bitterblack Weapon relic.
  • Have enough Rift Crystals for the cost shown by Olra.
  • Set the Arisen and Main Pawn to the vocation colors relevant to the desired weapon pool.
  • Make room in inventory or storage for the purified weapon.
  1. Return to the harbor and speak with Olra.
  2. Choose the purification service and select the Bitterblack Weapon category.
  3. Review the tier and RC cost displayed for the relic before committing.
  4. Check the Arisen and Main Pawn vocation setup; adjust it before purification if you want a different color pool.
  5. Confirm the service and collect the revealed weapon.
  6. Compare its vocation compatibility and stats with your current equipment.
  7. Equip it if useful, or store it for a later vocation or pawn.

Farming tips

  • Purify similar relics under the same party vocation alignment when pursuing a consistent color pool.
  • Keep RC for the tier you most want to process; do not treat every relic as equally urgent.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat for each Weapon relic you collect and can afford. Relic outcomes depend on the purification pool; a particular weapon is not guaranteed, and each purification spends RC.

Common mistakes

  • Purifying before checking vocation colors; align the Arisen and Main Pawn first if the pool matters.
  • Assuming a Weapon relic guarantees a specific weapon; the result comes from a pool, so plan for alternatives.
  • Spending RC without checking the tier cost; confirm the displayed amount before accepting.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the weapon pool no longer fits your current build or when the next purification would consume RC needed for another goal.
