Last updated on Oct 31, 2023 at 12:00by Shikhu15 comments

The final upgrade for your Splendorous Tools is here. Upgrading to Lodestartools and increasing to i640 and an amazing glow! This guidewill explain how best to upgrade your relics with rotations and gathering advice.

The final upgrade quest is now available if you speak to Chora-Zoicalled Stand Tool, My Friend.

Just like all other stages, speak to Quinnana in The Crystarium(X: 10.4, Y: 7.8) toexchange your finished expert crafts for components. This time being called Nightforged components.

Crafting classes will again need to complete expert crafting to finish theirSplendorous Tools. Unfortunately, unlike the last stage there is no way at allto consistently macro a Tier 2 collectability. Scrip/low stat crafters mayalso require Specialist to even macro at all.

Crafting classes are required to craft collectables to exchange for Nightforged components.Due to these being expert crafts, the amount of components needed is not guaranteed.

Each craft uses a material purchased with White Scrips which can befound in the Other tab on the Scrip Exchange while speaking to Quinnana. Itwill cost you 70 scrips for every craft meaning 1400 - 4200 white scripsper class.

Below are some recommended rotations depending on if you areusing melded indagators or scrip gear. These macros are only able to hit Tier1 collectability. Scrip and low stat crafters will also need Specialist tohit the stat requirements. Otherwise you will have to manually craft.

The first macro is for melded Indagators Gear and will give Tier 1. It requires3853/3853/595 + HQ Jhinga Biryani. This is the same general macro youused in the last stage for convenience.

/ac "Muscle Memory" <wait.3>/ac Manipulation <wait.2>/ac Veneration <wait.2>/ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac "Final Appraisal" <wait.2>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac Innovation <wait.2>/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Master's Mend" <wait.3>/echo Macro #1 finished <se.0>/ac Innovation <wait.2>/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>/ac Veneration <wait.2>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>/echo Craft finished <se.1>

This macro is for players with much lower stats such as Scrip Gear.You need 3987/3618/556 + Calamari Ripieni and Cunning Craftsman's Draught to complete.

Most importantly though, is that you need Specialist to complete the craft. You onlyneed them for the stat gains, so Crafter's Delineation will not be required.

/ac "Muscle Memory" <wait.3>/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>/ac Manipulation <wait.2>/ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2>/ac Veneration <wait.2>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac "Final Appraisal" <wait.2>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac Groundwork <wait.3>/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>/ac Manipulation <wait.2>/echo Macro #1 finished <se.0>/ac Innovation <wait.2>/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Advanced Touch" <wait.3>/ac Innovation <wait.2>/ac Observe <wait.3>/ac "Focused Touch" <wait.3>/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>/echo Craft finished <se.1>

Gathering classes will need to gather two materials, collectables that you reduceor exchange for Nightforged components as well as Nightforged Clusters to be handed inat the end of the quest.

220 of both of these items are needed, with collectables giving one or threedepending on the collectability rating of 580 for 1 and 1000 for 3.

Do not forget you can use aetherial reduction on a collectable at 1000 rating whichgives more!

Class	Collectable 220(When Reduced)	Hidden Item 220
Mining	Connoisseur's Raw Onyx	Nightforged Ice Cluster
Botany	Connoisseur's Glimshroom	Nightforged Water Cluster

Mining materials can be found in The Tempest (X:34.3, Y:23).

Botany materials can be found in The Tempest (X:37.6, Y:13.7).

These nodes introduce more node bonuses and skill breakpointsyou may want to consider when planning your food. Do not forget you need toconsider these numbers after you have your relic equipped. These are:

• 30-50% Boon Bonus - 3650-3900 Perception.
• +1 Integrity - 920GP.
• 50 - 150 Collectability increase - 3610 - 4045 Gathering.
• +50 - 100% Intuition Increase - 3820 - 4035 Perception.
• Collectable Skills Cap - 4033 Gathering.
• Collectable Skill Proc Chance Cap - 4245 Gathering and Perception.
• Scrutiny Cap - 4033 Gathering and Perception.

Do not forget, reduction is more optimal for these items as you have achance at a bonus. While you are waiting on GP, you canignore the node and move on to the next node to spawn clusters faster and searchfor the collectability increase, intuition increase and integrity node bonus. Allthree are great for your yield.

This step introduces a new node bonus alongside the collectability bonus added last stage, offering 50-100 increasein how much collectability intuition offers. The exact increase depends on your perception but makes it easy for skillsto give over half of your required collectability!

The most important thing is Cordial use. Hi-Cordial is themost efficient Cordial, and using it on cooldown will increase your yielddrastically.

Aim for the crystals when possible, because they are not always guaranteed toappear, but do not spend your GP on them. Skills that increase Crystal/Clusteryield do not work on these items.

Fishing classes will be tasked with obtaining 170 Nightforged Fisher's Componentfor this stage from two different fish. The first fish, Little Bounty, offeringone or two components and the second fish, Saint Fathric's Face, offering three or four components. Both existin the same hole with Saint Fathric's Face being an intuition fish whichrequires three Little Bounty for a 3 minute intuition window.

These fish can be found in Il Mheg - saint Fathrics Temple (X: 35, Y:26).

Fish	Collectability for T1	T1 Rewards	Collectability for T2	T2 Rewards
Little Bounty	9 - 20	1 Component	21+	2 Components
Saint Fathric's Face	384 - 901	3 Components	902+	4 Components

The bait for these fish is Select Bait Ball which can bepurchased from Quinnana.

These fish can both easily be caught using the exact same macro and method.

You want to use Patience II with Precision Hookseton every '!' bite within the first 7.5 seconds of your cast to catch and then mooch Little Bounty.When you obtain the intuition buff, use Powerful Hookset on '!!' bites until around 7.5 seconds after you cast.

Do not hook anything after the 8 second mark.

The following macro makes it easy to catch Little Bounty, it is exactlythe same as other previous stages. When you do get intuition i would recommendavoiding a macro so that you do not missi any Saint Fathric's Face

/ac "cast" <wait.5>/e 5 <wait.1>/e 6 <wait.1>/e 7 <wait.1>/e 8/ac "Precision Hookset"/micon "Cast"
