Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic is the second-highest of the merit chests tied to Guardian Lord Nahma, the level 65 Cogni field boss in Chaotic Lower Reshanta. The game awards it to players whose share of the fight against Nahma was outstanding. Most of what comes out of it is predictable, and a small part is a lottery.

Quick answer: Earn it through your contribution to a Guardian Lord Nahma kill, or create it through Substance Morph. Opening one always gives 6,000 Abyss Points, plus a random roll.

What Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic contains

Every chest gives 6,000 Abyss Points. That part never changes. On top of it, the chest rolls each of the items below independently, so you can get nothing extra, one item, or more than one.

ItemQtyChance
Abyss Points6,000Guaranteed
Silver Medal of Merit152.5%
Potential Stone: Abyss (Unique) (Bound)17%

Guardian Lord Nahma Boots10.09%
Guardian Lord Nahma Necklace10.09%
Guardian Lord Nahma Greaves10.08%
Guardian Lord Nahma Breastplate10.03%

Add up the ten gear rolls, and you get just under 1 percent per chest. The Silver Medal of Merit is the roll you’ll see most often, slightly better than a coin flip. It is an Armorsmithing material.


How to get Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic

There are two ways in. The first is the fight itself. Nahma hands out merit chests based on how much each player contributed. A higher contribution earns a higher grade of chest, and the Epic grade covers an outstanding share of the work. The second way is Substance Morph, the conversion system, which lists this chest as one of its outputs.

Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic item details and trade rules

The chest is bound to your character. You can’t sell it, and you can’t move it to anyone else through public or personal trade. You can keep it in character storage, but server storage won’t accept it.

With a required level of 1 and a stack size of 999, there’s no pressure to open chests the moment they land. You can hoard them and open the whole pile in one go.


Potential Stone: Abyss (Unique) from the Epic chest

The 7 percent roll for Potential Stone: Abyss (Unique) (Bound) is the most valuable roll you can expect to land with any regularity. The stone unlocks hidden potential on gear that has already been Soul Bound. Buying one in the shop costs 25,000 Abyss Points, which is a bit more than four Epic chests’ worth of guaranteed Abyss Points. The stone can’t be traded either.

Guardian Lord Nahma gear stats

Every Guardian Lord Nahma piece is Unique grade at item level 86. Each one needs level 45, has four manastone slots, and enchants up to +15. Unlike the chest, the gear can be traded until it becomes soulbound.

PieceMain statsChest chance
BreastplateHP 344, Defense 6370.03%
HelmHP 215, Defense 4770.09%
PauldronsHP 215, Defense 4770.09%
CloakHP 172, Defense 4240.12%
RingAttack 88, Defense 2120.16%

Breastplate: Its Defense value ranks third among the 147 Top slot items. Only the Splendent Ebony Dragon Lord Breastplate and the Splendent Wise Dragon Lord Breastplate, tied at the top, beat it. It is also the least likely piece to come out of the chest.

Helm, Pauldrons, Cloak and Ring: Each one also has the third-highest Defense in its slot. The two Splendent Dragon Lord sets share first place every time. Armor pieces gain Defense and HP from enchanting, while the Ring gains Attack and Defense.

Turning the Epic chest into Enraged Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic

Opening the chest isn’t your only option. Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic is also an ingredient. Put it into Substance Morph together with a Nahma’s Horn Fragment and the result is Enraged Nahma’s Merit Chest: Epic, the chest normally tied to the Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma fight. If you skip the conversion and open the chest, you’ll know it worked when 6,000 Abyss Points land in your currency total right away, along with any items it rolled.
