Some of it is still janked up. I wouldn't blindly accept a couple of the weird ones.
Every weapon should be made in like two more days. Even if 99% of them are staves.

pretty sure it is a typo, great sword h2h and great katana is detonation compression distortion to 3 step, wouldn't make sense for sword not to be.
Yeah it's likely Detonation, but still that's not nearly as useful as Liquefaction / Impaction or just a straight up Fusion. Having access to Fusion on RDM has been amazing but BLU doesn't have that option. Worst case we can do Vorpal -> New Sword WS -> New Sword WS -> Expacion for a four step darkness, but no double dark unfortunately.
maybe New sword WS => New sword WS => Savage => Expiation
For Grav => Frag => Distortion
Then Requiescat for Darkness... lol

stands to reason it will keep its damage resistance to non prime weapons since they want a fight where you need them.
Wow, that's diabolical!

Weeks/months is an exaggeration.
It personally took me 4 months to get enough alex for 3 mythics. YMMV.

Yeah ... Requiescat is just bleh, I really wish RDM and BLU has access to Swift Blade. Like why are we still locking away WS's as EX nowadays. I was really looking forward to being able to have a reliable Fusion on BLU, guess we can just settle for four step darkness. Vorpal Blade -> New WS (detonation) -> New WS (Gravitation) -> Expacion (Darkness). Great Sword has it even worse, totally useless on WAR though DRK could get something out of it due to Torc being Distortion for darkness closing.
Those very few times you need Requiescat, its a great WS!
(Didn't want to derail the testing thread.) Got my 1m, but still torn on what to take.
Tempted to try dagger since I'm often on RDM or occasionally BRD lately in Sortie, and it's multi-job, but I feel like there's a strong chance it's meh... Really, feels as though almost all the 1h ones are going to have difficulty competing with existing options (*cough* Naegling's broken attack buff). Caliburnus reports didn't assuage that.
Similarly I love my NIN, but I have a hard time believing a physical Katana WS is going to be worthwhile. Guess another option would be polearm for DRG... Ugh.

Polearm is likely a good bet if you play a lot of drg.
Instrument looks good if you similarly play a lot of brd.
But if you main Nin and really want a new katana.. Choose what you want to play with most :)

You can wait several days. I will probably make dagger because im stupid and I will test it then.
Dumping it here to avoid cluttering up the WS thread.
Stage 5 Prime Weapon Requirements:
Stage 5 Prime Weapon Requirements:

So about 6 months time locked (psyches) per stage1-5 Prime weapon, assuming you at least average a bit under 50k galli/run?

I think they avg around
They avg around 85k (just got the info from source).

I really wonder what they were thinking with the *drite stones.
Why are they even there?
I mean...
Maybe they have plans to activate additional systems in the future.
That must be the reason.
I refuse to believe they had no plans for them.

Just meant in general, if you at least average around 47k~ run a prime will take a person 6 months per full prime, Getting more galli than that still forces you to wait the same amount of time due to 5 psyche per month wait. If you don't average at least that then time to make increases from 6 months.

How does someone everyday do in 1h 85k?
Mischief corrected me slightly its 80-82k
They kill all 8/8 bosses and Aminon. That alone is 78k. Rest is from roaming NMs and some chests.

Real question is:
Is taking a stage 4 -> 5 worth more than a second stage 4 + stage 3 (think shield)?
Is taking a stage 4 -> 5 worth more than a second stage 4 + stage 3 (think shield)?
We dont know really.
Stage 4 has new thing. Double attack damage proc like relics (on first hit only it seems). Looks like 25-30% activation on Axe (not sure if 2h is different %). Stage 5 can have higher chance or triple damage proc, so it's impossible to say for sure.

Technically soloable. In about 5 years.
You can solo around 15k Galli, so 566 runs. Assuming you go every day and double with ruspix every 20days then around 1.5 year, not 5.

Source? Pics?
Source is Unagihito, Lancifer and Mischief. I was with them in Bibiki when they tested their Stage 4.
You can see double damage proc below.

I hear you, but no one can do Sortie 7 times a week plus an extra every run 5 days for 1.5 years straight and not go absolutely frigging insane.
Prove me wrong.

Stage 5 is gonna have to do something extraordinary for me to wanna do that instead of getting 1 and a half more stage 4s.

Its extra run every 20days, assuming you do a run every 24hours.
doing it for 530 days straight might be a challenging task, but at the same time none is forcing you to solo, especially at that pace. Im simply saying what's possible without any assumptions of how someone will do it.
