Alright guys, let’s dive into something I’ve been messing around with – the Inazuma craftable weapons. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and if they were actually worth the grind.
Getting Started: Blueprints, Blueprints, Blueprints
First things first, I needed those blueprints. You can’t just walk up to the blacksmith and say, “Gimme the good stuff!” No sir. I had to go hunting for these things. Each weapon has its own blueprint, and they’re scattered all over Inazuma. Some I got from quests, others from those annoying Shrine of Depths, and some I even had to buy.
The Grind: Gathering Materials
Once I had the blueprints, it was time for the real fun… gathering materials. And let me tell you, it’s a LOT. I spent hours chopping wood, mining ore, and fighting those little samurai dudes for their handguards. My thumbs were starting to cramp up, I’m not gonna lie.
- Amethyst Lump: These purple rocks were my nemesis. I felt like I was spending half my life in mines.
- White Iron Chunk: Easier to find, thankfully, but still needed a ton.
- Handguards: Oh, the handguards. I swear, I could build a house with all the handguards I collected.
- Other random stuff: Depending on the weapon, there were other bits and pieces I needed, like those weird plant things or drops from specific enemies.
Crafting Time: Finally!
After what felt like an eternity, I had everything I needed. I ran back to the blacksmith, practically throwing the materials at him. It’s satisfying watching him hammer away and finally hand you that shiny new weapon.
The Verdict: Are They Worth It?
So, after all that work, were these Inazuma weapons worth it? Honestly, it depends. Some of them are pretty good, especially if you don’t have any better options.
- The Amenoma Kageuchi (sword): is great. I have been used it on my main.
- The Katsuragikiri Nagamasa(claymore): feels solid. I gave it to my main DPS and he used it to smash them all.
- The Kitain Cross Spear (polearm): is okay, that I feel a bit “meh.”
- The Hakushin Ring (catalyst): seemed interesting, but I haven’t really found a good use for it yet.
- The Hamayumi (bow): is pretty nice, I have been using it.
But if you already have some decent 4-star or even 5-star weapons, these might not be a huge upgrade. It really comes down to your specific situation and what characters you’re using.
Would I do it all again? Probably, yeah. I’m a sucker for completion, and having all these weapons crafted just feels good. Plus, it’s always nice to have options. But if you’re short on time or patience, maybe just focus on the ones that really fit your team.
