Prime Weapon Trials

The Prime Weapon Trials are one part of your first Prime. Track and turn them in at the Prime Armory, then finish the weapon's pilgrimage and forge its Kaja stage at the Weapon Forger.

Summary

Five trials, done in any order: gather the Abyssea collectibles, climb the Endless Tower, win a Prime Voucher, beat a Weapon Guardian, and bank the three Dynamis currencies. These trials do not replace the Prime pilgrimage or final Weapon Forger recipe.

The gate

The final Prime forge is locked behind the 5 Prime Weapon Trials. They are tracked independently, so you can chip away at them in any order. Clear all 5, finish the selected weapon's pilgrimage, and take its Kaja stage to the Weapon Forger.

Talk to the Prime Armory NPC in Purgonorgo Isle (!hub) at any time to see which trials you've cleared and to hand in collection trials. See the Prime Weapons guide for the complete first and repeat routes.

The five trials

Trial What it takes
Trial 1 12 each of all 20 Abyssea collectibles (turn in here)
Trial 2 Endless Tower floor 50
Trial 3 Prime Voucher (Maze Monger Crown) - rare Hunting League NM drop (turn in here)
Trial 4 Any Weapon Guardian (support); matching family required at forge
Trial 5 99 each of Jadeshell, Silverpiece & 100 Byne Bill (turn in here)

The rest of this page walks through each one.

Trial 1 — The Abyssea collectibles

The grind trial. You gather the full "five elements" set of Abyssea collectibles and turn the whole lot in at the Prime Armory.

Trial 1 wants 12 of every one of the 20 Abyssea collectibles -- the full "five elements" set. Each element drops in 4 types (Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card), and you need 12 of all 20:

Element Types (×12 each)
Vision Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card
Ardor Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card
Wieldance Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card
Balance Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card
Voyage Stone · Coin · Jewel · Card

That's 12 × 20 = 240 collectibles in total. They drop from Abyssea NMs -- bring the complete set to the Prime Armory and it consumes the lot when you turn Trial 1 in.

Because every piece drops while you farm Abyssea NMs, this trial fills in the background of normal Abyssea play. Don't hand in a partial set — the Prime Armory only accepts the complete collection, and it takes all of them at once.

Trial 2 — Endless Tower

Reach floor 50 of the Endless Tower. The Tower is a solo-friendly, ever-escalating gauntlet; floor 50 is the Prime checkpoint, and clearing it flags this trial automatically.

Trial 3 — The Prime Voucher

Win a Prime Voucher — a rare drop from Hunting League NMs (~1%) or the custom Maat fight (0.5%) — and turn it in at the Prime Armory. It's a low-rate drop, so this trial is mostly persistence (and it stops dropping once you've cleared Trial 3). A single Voucher is all you need.

Trial 4 — Weapon Guardian

Defeat a Weapon Guardian, the boss at the end of the Job Mastery path. Mastering a job summons its Guardian, and beating it is the proof-of-mastery trial. These fights are deliberately brutal — bring your best setup.

Trial 5 — Dynamis currencies

The other turn-in trial. Bank 99 each of three Dynamis currenciesLungo-Nango Jadeshell, Montiont Silverpiece, and 100 Byne Bill — and hand all 297 to the Prime Armory in one go. Keep each currency as a single 99-stack in your main inventory for the turn-in.

The reward

Once all five trials read complete, return to the Weapon Forger with the selected Kaja weapon after completing its pilgrimage and remaining content gates.

The final recipe is 100 Demons Medals, 5,000 Reforge Marks, and 750,000,000 gil.
