Trial Weapon

The origin of the term "Trial Weapon" belongs to quests, which are introduced with the CoP Expansion Pack and the final Level Limit of 75. The player got the option to unlock new Weapon Skills with specific jobs after they hit level 71+. To activate those quests, the player must reach a minimum skill level for a weapon. If the conditions are fullfilled, the player will speak with a NPC and will get a Trial Weapon. Those weapons need 300 Weapon Skill Points for stopping the Latent Effect. After done the task, you have to trade the weapon back to the NPC, killing an NM and finally being granted with a new Weapon Skill. There are 14 Trial Weapons, for each weapon category one with the exception of Throwing Weapons.
