Walkthrough

Switchstix can upgrade degraded weapons if you bring him the things he wants.

The first upgrade will require:

Fee: One Hundred Byne Bill x4

The Ihintanto is a drop from Dynamis - San d'Oria. The Relic Steel is either crafted (97 Smithing skill) or bought with 24 Lungo-Nango Jadeshells from a Goblin NPC in Castle Oztroja. Trade all four items and currency to Switchstix and he will upgrade it to a Mimizuku. You will need to wait one game day.

The second upgrade will require:

Fee: Lungo-Nango Jadeshell x16

He will upgrade the Mimizuku to the Rogetsu. This will take about 1 week Earth time.

The third upgrade will require:

Fee: Montiont Silverpiece x61

The Attestation drops from the notorious monster Mildaunegeux in Dynamis - Beaucedine. Trade these two items to Switchstix and he will make upgrade it to the Yoshimitsu. The Yoshimitsu will allow you to use the special weapon skill Blade: Metsu, but only in Dynamis areas.

The fourth upgrade will require:

Fee: Ten Thousand Byne Bill x1

The Demoniac Fragment drops from the Animated Kunai in Dynamis - Xarcabard

Trade the Yoshimitsu, the fragment, the Necropsyche, and the currency to the blank space at (C-11) on the third map of Sea Serpent Grotto to receive a cutscene, your Kikoku, and 30 One Hundred Byne Bills.

Blade: Metsu Do You Have It?

does anyone have metsu? what does it do or is even rumored to do? my LS, StarOnionBrigade says no one even has it yet on our server, Odin. Is having the fully upgraded katana a status symbol like so much of my job, or is it the true, as it's name means, "death of all living things, extinction"?

The relic weapons are pretty nice, but more a status symbol due to how to get them. As of the relic WS. . .from what i HEARD (have no prove except for a small movie i once found):

They extend a lvl3 chain by another lvl3 chain. So if u do the relic ws after a light chain, it will do another light chain. If u do the ws after a dark chain, it will do another dark chain.

I do not yet have Blade: Metsu, but it is my understanding that the relic WS will only extend one or the other of level 3 SC's. For example it is my understanding that Blade: Metsu will only extend a Darkness SC for a second Darkness SC, but not a Light SC. Hopefully one day I will finish my Kikoku and know for certain.

There is a Japanese Nin on Odin Server that does have this. (I have forgot his name now that I try to think of it.) I convinced him to show me Blade: Metsu. I drooled when I seen it lol. I will own this one day, along with the Relic GK for my Sam. Tachi: Kaiten & Blade: Metsu {Yes, Please.}
Done with 1st

I traded the items to Switchstix before he asked for a specific payment amount. The items are no longer in my inventory and I wonder if I've lost them or when I trade him payment he'll start the upgrade. Did I lose my stuff?

So we got a person who is bring Gilsellers into Dynamis on Cait sith named Ryudo. They are trying to sell currency for 50k per single unit and 5mil per 100 unit. Well I guess Relic weapons will become harder to get if you plan on buying currency from these FOOLS.

by the way...

THIS IS STUPIDITY!

Considering if your going to sell them for that much why buy it when EVERY ONE ELSE sells for 15k??????????????????? Really its pretty stupid

Jump on the band wagon if your on cait sith!

DO NOT BUY OVER PRICED MONEY

chances are they are being sold by gilseller mules and/or Ryudo's henchmen.
god.....
# Jun 21 2005 at 5:47 AM Rating: Decent
having to do/pay this much..... god it sounds like a pain in the @$$... if Blade: Metsu is worth using anywhere ok, but if ku or even jin is better, i would feel like i wasted time.

BTW i am currently 64nin and had plans on trying to get relic and had plans... sounds like waste to me, has anyone even seen Blade: Metsu?
3rd fee
# May 05 2005 at 9:16 AM Rating: Decent
the 3rd upgrade for this requires 61 x M. Silverpiece
The 1st step ^^

I've obtained the 400 byne bills needed for the currency fee for the first upgrade. My linkshell will be helping me obtain the Tarasque skin and I'll solo the twinthread later this week. All in all, it has taken me 4 months to obtain the fee. In this time I've obtained the Koga Hatsuburi and have 140/ 1600 T.Whiteshells for the second upgrade. I have cleareance to Dynamis-Xarcarbard, but have yet to enter. Rumors have it, there is a 3rd upgrade fee. Discordian, a rdm on Migardsormr, is on the 3rd fee, and says it requires 6k in currency from dynamis, which is close to 60 million gil if you buy from bazaars. Any rumors, or forums concerning the further upgrade of relic weapons, I would appriciate if you linked here, or sent to my email at. "Kikokuu@yahoo.com" [yes 2 uu]. Also, the aggestation are rumored to be NM mobs in dynamis, that you fight, much like a WS NM. Can anyone help me with all this info? Ty.

I know this is an old post, but just to correct:

Attestations are dropped off mobs in Beaucidine.
Fragments are dropped off mobs in Xarcabard.
Currency

Actually all of the relic weapons final upgrades cost about this much. Also by trading 99+1 of any currency to the goblin NPCs will trigger a menu, allowing you to pick an item or a 100 of the currecy.
The cost..

x.x The chances of getting a 100-bill is very slim.. in My dynamis LS, in order to assure that you get the bills that drop, you have to pay for the hourglass.. that's 1mil gil... So that's a minimum of 20mil, assuming you get at least one every trip.. If you're lucky..
Sounds so difficult

why would you not do 75nin because of that fact that this is so hard to obtain... all the other relic weapons are just as hard to obtain... i would guess to say that 98.99% of all ninja 75 arent even close to this. So... dont give up on nin just cuz the relic is hard to get.
