Equipment drops
Upgrade a main weapon only
Concentrating scarce Deralium and Vigor on one primary weapon gives a clear, efficient upgrade target.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Upgrade a main weapon only
Gerlinde’s forge at Skyrest Bridge, after rescuing her and unlocking access to weapon upgrades.
Before you go
- Rescue Gerlinde and return her to Skyrest Bridge.
- Carry the weapon you rely on and enough Vigor for the intended upgrade.
- Collect or purchase the specific Deralium tier displayed by the forge interface.
Farming steps
- At Gerlinde’s forge, select the weapon you use most often in combat.
- Inspect the next upgrade tier and note the Vigor and Deralium materials required.
- Check your inventory for each required tier; smaller materials do not substitute for a higher tier.
- If short on materials, collect fixed pickups or buy the appropriate shard from Gerlinde once her stock allows it.
- If Vigor is short, continue progression or sell only equipment you have confirmed is surplus.
- Return to the upgrade interface, verify that the selected weapon is still the intended target, and apply the upgrade.
- Equip or continue using the improved weapon, then repeat the check for its next tier.
- Choose the weapon that matches your stats and play style, not simply the latest weapon you picked up.
- Check the material requirement before spending Vigor so you do not buy an unusable tier.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable as a resource-allocation strategy while you have the required Vigor and Deralium. Each individual upgrade consumes the displayed cost.
Common mistakes
- Splitting rare Chunks across weapons you seldom use: prioritize one reliable primary weapon.
- Assuming smaller Deralium fills a higher-tier requirement: use the exact tier listed at the forge.
- Upgrading before comparing a weapon with your stats: select gear that suits your build.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the main weapon reaches the next practical upgrade cap for your current materials, or switch focus if a newly found weapon better matches your build.
