Weapon Progression — Dawn FFXI

Two NPCs in the Throne Room handle every weapon upgrade on Dawn. Both run the same four stages, but they charge different currency and grant different augments.

Relic Master takes relic weapons.
Oboro takes mythics and empyreans.

Reach them with !throne.

How upgrading works

You deposit materials to the NPC first. They bank to your balance rather than sitting in your inventory, which is why a stage can cost far more than the eight slots a trade window holds. Once your balance covers the stage, trade the weapon by itself and confirm.

Costs shown are per weapon, not per account.

Reading the augment numbers

Every value below is the effective bonus that appears on the finished item. Stages do not stack - each upgrade replaces the previous augment set.

Four weapons stop at stage 1

Aegis, Gjallarhorn, Ochain and Daurdabla have no item level 119 form. Their stage 1 augments are the whole ladder.

Aftermath also boosts weapon skill damage

Every retail Aftermath effect is unchanged on Dawn. On top of it, while the buff is up, your weapon skills hit harder. The bonus follows the Aftermath level you earned, so spending 3000 TP pays off twice:

Aftermath	Weapon skill damage
Relic, older tiers	+5%
Relic, 119	+15%
Mythic, level 1 / 2 / 3	+10% / +15% / +20%
Empyrean, level 1 / 2 / 3	+15% / +20% / +25%

It applies to every weapon skill you use while Aftermath lasts, physical or magical, and it stacks with a broken Weapon Skill Breakers bonus. Prime weapons keep their own Aftermath as is.

Relic

Cost per stage

Stage 1 (Lv.99 II)	Stage 2 (iLvl 119)	Stage 3 (119 II)	Stage 4 (119 III)
1,000 Alexandrite 500 Pluton	2,000 Alexandrite 1,000 Pluton	4,000 Alexandrite 2,000 Pluton	8,000 Alexandrite 4,000 Pluton

Full ladder, stages 1-4: 15,000 Alexandrite + 7,500 Pluton

Augments by stage

Relic augments depend on the weapon's category, not the individual weapon - all ten melee relics share one identical ladder.

Empyrean

16 weapons · Oboro

Cost per stage

Stage 1 (Lv.99 II)	Stage 2 (iLvl 119)	Stage 3 (119 II)	Stage 4 (119 III)
300 each of Riftborn Boulder, Beitetsu, Alexandrite and Pluton	900 each	2,700 each	8,100 each

Full ladder, stages 1-4: 12,000 each of Riftborn Boulder, Beitetsu, Alexandrite and Pluton.

Empyrean is the only ladder that asks for Riftborn Boulder, and it charges the same quantity of all four materials at every stage - no trophies, no branch. It is the most expensive of the three families and the most predictable to save for.

Augments by stage

All fourteen full-ladder empyreans share one job-flavour pair - Critical Hit Damage with Store TP, which becomes TP Bonus at stage 3. Only the core pair changes with the weapon class, so a melee, a ranged and a casting empyrean differ in their first two lines and nowhere else.

Relic, mythic and empyrean weapon skills scale with TP

All 41 relic, mythic and empyrean weapon skills were measured on Dawn and tuned so that each lands in the same damage band at 3000 TP. Two rules apply to every one of them:

TP matters. Firing at 3000 TP does about three times the damage of firing at 1000 TP. Holding TP now pays; firing at the first chance never does more damage per second than holding.
No job's skill is the odd one out. Drakesbane, Tachi: Kaiten, Blade: Metsu, Mercy Stroke, Leaden Salute and the rest all sit within the same band at 3000 TP on the same target. Which one wins a given fight comes from your gear, buffs, weapon and the target's defense, not from the skill's table.

Three things work differently and are worth knowing:

Atonement used to deal about 1,190 damage on Dawn (its retail enmity formula). It is now a real weapon skill: two hits, STR and VIT, normal crits and misses, tuned to about half of a damage-dealer skill. It still generates its full enmity.
The magical five (Leaden Salute, Wildfire, Trueflight, Cloudsplitter, Primal Rend) hit for one number on a target that does not resist, and drop in steps when it does. That is how magical damage works; it is not a bug.
Aftermath is unchanged and still stacks on top of all of this.

Nothing was reduced below its previous value at any TP. Mordant Rime (Bard) is unchanged.
