The Splendent Wise Dragon Lord and Splendent Ebony Dragon Lord sets are the top-end craftable weapons at item level 102. Each is a Unique, tier 4 weapon that needs character level 45, carries four manastone slots and one theostone slot, and can be enchanted to +15. You never build a Splendent weapon from a recipe of its own. Instead it appears as a bonus result while you craft the ordinary Wise or Ebony weapon of the same type.

Quick answer: You don’t craft these directly. They proc as a combo while you craft the base Wise or Ebony weapon, and that base craft succeeds 80.1% of the time.


Crafting profession and mastery for each weapon

The profession you need depends on the weapon type, and the base craft for every one of these weapons succeeds at 80.1%. Blacksmithing covers the melee weapons, Jewelcrafting covers ranged, and Alchemy covers the caster off-hands. The Guard sits one mastery level higher than the rest.

Materials for the Splendent Wise and Ebony weapons

Because the Splendent result comes from crafting the base weapon, the material list is the one for that base craft. For the Blacksmithing weapons (Greatsword, Longsword, Dagger and Mace), one successful craft calls for the following direct components.

MaterialQuantity
Artisan’s Splendent Orichalcum (weapon)3
Artisan’s Ultimate Refining Stone15
Fine Durable Balaur Horn41
Wrathful Mind6
Wrathful Will11
Wrathful Ego21
Radiant Orichalcum Ore36
Radiant Odyle21

The Jewelcrafting Bow follows the same shape but swaps the ore and horn for wood and scale: Artisan’s Splendent Asvata Bow ×3, Enhanced Durable Balaur Scale ×41 and Radiant Asvata Log ×36, alongside the same 15 Artisan’s Ultimate Refining Stone, 6 Wrathful Mind, 11 Wrathful Will, 21 Wrathful Ego and 21 Radiant Odyle. Expanded all the way down to raw gather-and-buy materials, a single Splendent weapon runs to 52 total crafts.

These recipes and quantities come from the Korea/Taiwan client (v110, dated 2026-09-09) and are not in the Global client as of 2026-09-19, so the exact materials and counts can change when the set arrives globally.


How the Splendent version procs during the craft

The base Wise or Ebony weapon carries a combo activation chance. When that combo triggers partway through the craft, the result upgrades to the Splendent version and lands in your inventory instead of the ordinary weapon. The weapon recipes list this combo at 25%, while a live Ebony Dragon Lord Guard craft shows a 15% combo chance in its interface. If the combo does not fire, you keep the base weapon and try again on the next craft.

Crafting cannot be started while you are riding or aboard a mount, so dismount before you open the menu.

Open the Manage Crafting menu and pick the right profession for your weapon, then select the base Wise or Ebony recipe. The panel lists every required material with your owned-versus-needed counts beside each one.

Check that every material row is satisfied, then press Craft. Your character starts hammering as the progress bar steadily fills to completion.

Watch the bar. If the combo activates, the label flashes and switches to the Splendent weapon with a Proc marker, meaning you are now producing the upgraded version.

If you are hit during the craft, the process fails and every material used is consumed, so craft somewhere safe.

You know it worked when the progress bar reaches 100% and the system chat shows a line confirming the Splendent weapon was acquired; the item drops straight into your inventory.

Where to farm the materials

The three Wrathful materials are the raid-and-dungeon items, while the Radiant and refining materials lean on open-world activity. The Artisan’s Splendent Orichalcum weapon component is itself a craft, made through Blacksmithing at mastery 30 with a base success of 79.6%.

MaterialWhere to get it
Wrathful MindBoss drops, party dungeons, raids
Wrathful WillBoss drops, party dungeons, raids
Wrathful EgoBoss drops, party dungeons, raids
Artisan’s Ultimate Refining StoneBoss drops, dungeons, field events, raids
Radiant OdyleQuest rewards, field events, gathering

Stats and how they compare to the Ludra raid drops

The Wise and Ebony versions of each weapon are stat-identical, differing only in appearance. On Max Attack, every type sits at the top of its slot, tied with its matching Ludra raid drop (and with the other Splendent variant). Each weapon sells for 179,393 Kina.

WeaponMax AttackStanding in slotTies with
Orb630Highest of 83Ludra’s Abyssal Jade
Greatsword604Highest of 83Ludra’s Blade of Extinction

Bow512Highest of 89Ludra’s Fatal Bow
Dagger473Highest of 83Ludra’s Claw
Mace473Highest of 83Ludra’s Fatal Mace

The Guard is measured on flat Attack rather than Min/Max Attack. Its 210 Attack is the highest among the 83 Guard items, level with Ludra’s Heart. In practice the crafted sets give you a parallel route to the same ceiling as the Ludra drops on these weapon types, rather than a strictly stronger option.


Enchanting to +15 and amplifying further

Every Splendent weapon uses the item-level-102 Unique enchant table. Steps +1 through +10 succeed at 100%, so the first ten levels are guaranteed. From +11 onward the chance drops and a failed attempt adds 5.0% to your next try at that level.

LevelSuccessKinaEnhance Stone
+1165%360,0009,310
+1250%540,00010,610
+1335%860,00011,960
+1425%1,340,00013,360
+1520%1,860,00014,820

Enchanting raises Min and Max Attack in set jumps: +24 each at +5, +49 each at +10, and +74 each at +15 on the level-44 crafted components, rising to +55, +114 and +174 at those same milestones on the level-102 weapons.

Past max enchant, these weapons can be pushed further with amplifying, using Amplify Stone (Unique). The Greatsword, Longsword, Dagger, Mace, Bow, Staff, Orb and Spellbook all draw on the same amplify table below; the Guard amplifies on its own separate guarder table.

StepSuccessKinaAmplify Stone (Unique)
+166%600,0006

+333%1,400,00012
+425%2,000,00015
+520%3,000,00020

A failed amplify also builds up a bonus toward the next attempt, but the size of that bonus shrinks as you climb: 5.0% after a failed +1, then 4.0%, 3.0%, 2.0% and 1.0% at the higher steps. Combined with the 25% combo needed just to produce a Splendent weapon in the first place, reaching high amplify levels is a long-term investment in Kina and stones rather than a single sitting at the forge.
